At the City Council hearing on August 201h, the Council continued this project to the August 27th hearing
in order for the Applicant and Staff to work together on solutions to the cul-de-sac proposed on the plat
that exceeds the maximum length standards in the UDC by 50'+1-.
The Applicant submitted a concept plan (attached) showing how the plat could be revised to comply
with UDC 1 I -6C -3B.4 which states, "No streets or series of streets that ends in a cul-de-sac or a dead
end shall be longer than 450'." The plan depicts a 430' cul-de-sac length in compliance with the UDC
with a 331' long common driveway at the end of the cul-de-sac with an emergency access driveway to
McMillan Rd. that provides access to Lots 9-12, Block 1. The UDC (11 -6C -3D) limits the length of
common driveways to a maximum of 150' unless otherwise approved by the Fire Department.
The Fire Department has reviewed the concept plan and approves of the common driveway as shown,
provided the Applicant complies with the following requirements (which should be added to Section
VIII.0 of the Staff Report if approved by Council):
• Install Maxiforce wrench resettable bollards or a 20' wide gate with a Knox Padlock at the north
end of the common driveway (the padlock should be on the McMillan Rd. side of the gate). If a
gate is provided, it must be 30' off the edge of pavement and swing into the subdivision. The
entire driveway will need to be signed "No Parking Fire Lane".
Install a directional address sign at the south end of the common driveway in a position that is
plainly legible and visible from the street that clearly identifies the address of homes accessed by
the common driveway for emergency wayfinding purposes as set forth in IFC 505.1.
• All cul-de-sacs shall be a minimum of 96' in diameter in accord with IFC 503.3 and D103.6. No
parking signs shall be installed on each side of the entrance to the cul-de-sac(s) as well as one at
the head(s) in accord with IFC 503.3 & D103.6.
If Council approves of the proposed concept plan, Staff recommends the following additional conditions
of approval are added to Section VIII.A of the Staff Report:
