Application Information:
Acreage: 1.05
Zoning: L-O
Lots: 2
A. Findinqs of Fac#
Existing Conditions
1. Site Information: The site currently has finro lots. One of which is vacant and the other is
occupied by a medical/office building. The property was previously split incorrectly in 1985 (the
applicant did not have documentation that a legal split occurred prior to 1984). Therefore, the
applicant is submitting an application to legally divide the parcel into two lots.
2. Descri tion of Ad'acent Surrounding Area:
Direction Land Use Zoning
North Residenfial R-4
South Residential R-4
East Office L-O
West Residential R-8
3. Existing Roadway Improvements & Right-of-Way: Cherry Lane is currently improved with 5-
lanes and approximately 64-feet of pavement wifh vertical curb, gutter and a 5-foot attached
sidewalk. There is approximately 80-feet of right-of-way existing for Cherry Lane (approximately
40-feet from centerline) abufifing the site.
Cammann Park
N. 8th Street is currently improved with 2-lanes (3-lanes at the intersection) and approximately 36-
feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and a 5-foot attached sidewalk. There is approximately
60-feet of right-of-way existing for N. 8th Street (approximately 30-feet from centerline) abutting fhe
site.
4. Existing Access: There is currently one paved driveway accessing the site from Cherry Lane and
one paved driveway accessing the site from N. 8"' Street.
5. Site History: ACHD has previously reviewed this site for a development application with MCZC-08-
007. This application was for the development of a 14,100 square foot medical/office building.
Development Impacts
6. Trip Generation: This subdivision application is not estimated to generate any additional vehicle
trips per day as the western lot is occupied by an existing building and the eastern lot has
previously been reviewed by ACHD. The existing building approved with MCZC-08-007 is
estimated to generate 131 (exisfing) vehicle trips per day and new building is estimated to generate
155 (additional) vehicle trips per day aceording to the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual, medical/dental office building land-use designation.
7. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
8. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application.

10. Capital Improvements Plan and Five Year Work Plan
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project
that are currently in the Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvement Plan.
B. Findinqs for Consideration
1. W. Cherry Lane
Arterial Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways
(Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter,
5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Arterial Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F3 requires arterial roadways to be constructed
as a 72-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete
sidewalk within 96-feet of right-of-way with parking prohibited on both sides of the roadway.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Cherry Lane.
2 Cammann Park
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Cherry Lane is built out in its current configuration. No
additional street improvements or right-of-way dedication is required with this application.
2. W 8tn Street
Collector Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be
constructed as 46-foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot
attached) concrete sidewalks within 70-feet of right-of-way. This street section allows for the
construction of a 3-lane roadway with bike lanes.
Collector Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector
roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway
with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to W. 8~h Street.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: W. 8th Street is built out in its current configuration. No
additional street improvements or right-of-way dedication is required with this application.
3. Driveways
Access Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and collectors is
normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the developer can
show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is impractical, the
District may consider direct access points. Aecess points for proposed developments at
intersections should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no case closer than
as illustrated on Figure 72-F4, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the
District Commission.
All Driveways: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to
gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant
should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the
edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot r.adii abutting the existing
roadway edge.
Commercial Driveway Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily
traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways will
be constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with
15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 28-foot wide driveway
intersecting Cherry Lane approximately 145-feet east of 8th Street (measured near edge to near
edge) and the exisfing 27-foot wide driveway intersecting N. 8th Street approximately 50-feet north
of Cherry Lane (measured near edge to near edge).
Staff Recommendation: The location of the driveways does not meet District policy for a full
access driveway intersecting collector or arterial roadway. However, staff recommends a
modification of policy to allow the driveways to be utilized in fheir current use and configuration, as
proposed. Pave the driveways to their full width and at least 30-feet into the site from the edge of
pavement.
4. Tree Planter Policy
The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 8-feet in
width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in planters with a
minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class I'll trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum
width of 10-feet.
5. Other Access
Cherry Lane is classified as a principal arterial roadway and 8th Street is classified as a collector.
Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access to Cherry Lane
and 8th Street is prohibited and shall be noted on the final plat.
