Conley Family Holdings 484 - Waiver Request to Major Site Plan in Review
Project #2024060073 #31719 Parcel #44617-005-00
Rogers Engineering
This item is under the authority of the County Engineer. A deviation request was approved on 8/22/24 with the following condition:
The driveway is approved as shown on the plans; however, a cross access easement lining up with the easement on the property to the east shall be provided. Additionally, if either parcel to the east or west redevelops as a commercial property, this driveway may be removed and connection to the other adjacent driveway made at the owner’s expense.
LDC 6.11.5.B(3) - Driveway Access
CODE states driveway location and minimum spacing shall be consistent with traffic safety standards. If standards cannot be achieved, the County Engineer or his designee can review and approve on a case-by-case basis.
APPLICANT requests waiver because the existing cross-access easement is not paved and is located on a church's property. The project will have large trucks making deliveries on weekdays and box trucks making numerous trips, and the turning movements will be troublesome. The church does not want to share its driveway with this kind of business and cannot afford to pave the cross-access easement.
This item is under the authority of the County Engineer. A deviation request was disapproved on 8/22/24.
Applicant must provide a 24’ wide paved cross access easement lining up with the cross-access easement on the parcel to the east.
LDC 6.11.4.B(2) - Cross Access -
CODE states cross access shall be provided and constructed for all commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential development on arterial and collector roads unless it is determined by the County Engineer to not be practical or reasonable due to adjacent features, specific type of development, or the potential development of the adjacent property.
APPLICANT requests waiver because the properties on both sides of the project have their own driveways and do not need to use the project's driveway.
LDC 6.12.12.D - Sidewalks
CODE states at the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board.
APPLICANT requests waiver because the client wishes to pay fee $5,338.00 in lieu of sidewalk construction.

CODE states Sizes. Stormwater conveyance pipes and cross culverts shall be a minimum of 18 inches diameter or equivalent.
