r JAN 2 2 1986 <br />BOOK 63 FGE 353 <br />An extensively revised site plan ordinance (#85-47) was adopted on May <br />22, 1985, and the minimum one-way drive width of 16 feet was included as <br />a new requirement. Since this ordinance was adopted, staff has <br />determined that the 16 foot one-way drive requirement is not justified. <br />On January 9, 1986, The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recom- <br />mended approval of an ordinance amendment to reduce the one-way drive <br />width from 16 feet to 12 feet: <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />One-way drive standards in effect for many communities in this region <br />reflect an adopted standard closer to 12 feet, and field inspections have <br />verified that a 12 foot requirement is generally more reasonable, con- <br />sidering vehicle turning movements and the need to reduce impervious <br />surfaces to benefit stormwater management. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt an <br />amendment to the zoning ordinance to permit a reduction of the one-way <br />drive width from 16 feet to 12 feet. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Ordinance 86-8, amending the Zoning <br />Code; providing for reducing the minimum required <br />one-way driveway width from sixteen (16) feet to <br />twelve (12) feet. <br />26 <br />
