Background

Section 18-A-11 defines a rural subdivision as "A subdivision of at least ten

lots that are a minimum of one acre in area and that have an average lot

frontage of 200 lineal feet per lot." Developer Mr. Richard Waddell has

requested a variance to construct a rural street (no curb and gutter) in his

proposed subdivision, Blackburn Ridge, Section 5. This request is based on the

existing rural streets in the surrounding neighborhoods and was promised during

the rezoning process, but not made part of the Rezoning Ordinance. This will

also improve water quality.

Analysis

The Departments of Engineering and Planning have reviewed this request and

support it due to the justification provided.
