BOOK 109 FAGS 3. Choose to not access the pre-existing half -street if interconnection is not required by the county. Under the proposed amendment, the developer, even if he chose to not access from the half -street, would still be obligated to contribute toward making the half -street whole because he could benefit from the newly formed whole street. Thus, the proposed amendment would allow the developer to choose the option of rejecting the benefit of the new whole street, while obligating the developer to provide his or her fairshare of right-of-way to make the half -street whole. Based upon discussion at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Option 3 of the proposed amendment has been revised to require the contribution of right-of-way but no contribution of funds for future road paving. Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed amendment PSAC Recommendation: No motion carried, except for final a motion recommending that staff should revisit the issue. Staff subsequently has revisited the issue. Note: some PSAC members believed that developers should be compensated for any right-of-way dedicated and should not be required to provide partial funding for fidure half -streets. Other members believed that developers on a case-by-case basis should be required to provide right-of-way and sometimes funding for future paving. PZC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) to recommend approval of the proposed amendment 7. Gated Entrances Recently, the county experienced problems not specifically addressed in the county's LDRs relating to a private subdivision's entrance gate. The design and location of this project's gate could Potentially adversely impact adjacent property owners if service vehicles (e.g. landscape service trailers) are denied entry and must turn around and exit without entering the project. To ensure that this problem is not repeated, staff initiated an Land Development Regulations change. Research of several "sample" gates along SR A -1-A shows that gates are set back 46- 1341 from the SR A-1 -A travelway to the gate. The average setback is 75'. StafPs proposal would require a 70' setback from the travelway edge of pavement to the gate but would allow designs with a lessen setback to be approved by Traffic Engineering if an enlarged entryway width and adequate clear zone are provided. The proposed LDR amendment would specifically require Traffic Engineering approval of a proposed entry gate for any project (e.g. subdivision, site plan, PD). Furthermore, the proposed LDR would require the entrance and gate to be designed so as not to adversely impact adjacent travelways in regard to traffic flow and turn around maneuvers. The proposed amendment would address the problem situation recently encountered, and would allow approval of designs similar to the many gated entrances throughout the county that have worked well without problems. Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed amendment PSAC Recommendation: Voted (6-0) for the same recommendation as staff PZC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) for the same recommendation as staff 8. Exception to Littoral Zone Requirements For years, the county has required littoral zone wetland plantings (and associated creation of littoral zone "shelves' for newly created ponds of a certain size. These requirements have been applied to April 19, 1999 8
