Variance to Subdivision Regulations - Maple Ridge

Initiator

Engineering Department

Recommendation

Approve the Resolution granting a variance to Section 18A-33b of the Columbus \n \n Code commonly referred to as the Subdivision Regulations.

Approval

Approved

Background

Section 18A-33b establishes a minimum pavement width of 31 feet back to back of

curb for local streets with curb and gutter. Developers-Investors, Inc.

requested and was granted a variance from the standard width for Maple Ridge

Golf Community, Section J-1 which consisted of 51 lots and was limited to three

short cul-de-sac streets. The proposed lot layouts included locations for

additional off-street parking.

Analysis

Section J-3 is an extension of an existing street in J-1 and includes 24 lots.

The Departments of Engineering and Community & Economic Development have

reviewed this variance and feel it be granted due to the size of the proposed

section, limited traffic and this would be an extension of an existing street.

Financial Considerations

N/A

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

Legal Considerations

A variance to the Subdivision Regulations must be approved by written

Resolution of Council.

Recommendations/ Actions
