Subject: (SEU0705-1) Special Exception Use request to establish a family cemetery at
7401 Fulton Road.
Allan Kamensky submitted an application for the Special Exception Use cited
above. The properties are located in an RE1 (Residential Estate 1) District.
The purpose of the Special Exception Use is to establish a family cemetery as a
Special Exception Use. An accessory cemetery is permitted in an RE1 zoning
district only on a site-specific basis upon approval of the Council based upon
the following criteria and conditions:
(1) Access: Is or will the type of street providing access to the use be
adequate to serve the proposed special exception use?
Access to the property is adequate for the proposed use.
(2) Traffic and Pedestrian Safety: Is or will access into and out of the
property be adequate to provide for traffic and pedestrian safety, the
anticipated volume of the traffic flow, and access by emergency vehicles?
There will be no impact to the transportation system nor will there be any
impact to pedestrian safety.
(3) Adequacy of Public Facilities: Are or will public facilities such as
school, water, or sewer utilities and police and fire protection be adequate to
serve the special exception use?
There will be no impact to public facilities.
(4) Protection from Adverse Affects: Are or will refuse, service, parking and
loading areas on the property be located or screened to protect other
properties in the area from such adverse effects as noise, light, glare or odor?
The proposed use will be almost 1,700 feet from Fulton Road. It will not
adversely affect surrounding properties.
(5) Hours of Operation: Will the hours and manner of operation of the special
exception use have no adverse effects on other properties in the area?
This use will not be open to the public nor is it for public use.
(6) Compatibility: Will the height, size, or location of the buildings or other
structures on the property be compatible with the height, size, character, or
location of buildings or other structures on neighboring properties?
The proposed use will be compatible with neighboring properties.
Twenty-two (22) property owners within 300 feet of the parcel were notified by
letter of the proposed Special Exception Use. To date, the Planning Department
has received one comment inquiring about the Special Exception Use request.
The application for a Special Exception Use meets the criteria for approval,
therefore, the Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department
recommend that the Council approve the use.
Respectfully,
