F, BOOK 109 'FAG,E 06 At its September 1, 1998 meeting, the Board affirmed this long-standing county policy of treating reservation areas the same as rights-of-way for setback purposes. At that meeting, the Board directed staff to codify the policy in the LDRs. The proposed amendments define the term "Murphy Deed Reservation", and specify how such reservation areas relate to the definition of "right-of-way", "setback", and "yard(front)". Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed amendment PSAC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) for the same recommendation as staff PZC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) for the same recommendation as staff 2. Right -of -Way Table Last may, the county adopted changes to the comprehensive plan that included changes to the transportation element. Some of those changes involved road right-of-way requirements for specific Thoroughfare Plan roadway segments. The road right-of-way requirements table in Chapter 952 of the LDRs is meant to reflect the transportation element requirements. Therefore, the Chapter 952 table must be amended to conform to the transportation element changes that were enacted last May. Most of the changes proposed merely reflect the transportation element changes. However, some changes reflect recommendations by the Public Works Director for road right-of-way segments not specifically covered in the transportation element. In addition, some changes to roadway segment descriptions (defining a segment's beginning and end points) are proposed to be amended to conform to the road segment descriptions used in the county's trip count data and on-going trip count program. Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed amendment PSAC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) for the same recommendation as staff PZC Recommendation: Voted (7-0) for the same recommendation as staff 3. Building -front Walkway This proposed amendment would codify an existing staff policy that is not addressed in the existing LDRs. The current policy, as reflected in the proposed amendment, allows a small-scale push cart concession (e.g. hot dog vendor) on walkways or sidewalks that front and are immediately adjacent to larger retail buildings. Such a limited use has been allowed at several retail buildings without problems and is regulated by the Department of Business Regulation (hotel and restaurant division) in regard to health standards. The DBR issues a permit for such vendors, and that permit is required to be displayed to the public by the vendor. Under the proposed amendment, such vendors would be limited to large retail buildings (100,000 sq. ft. or more) where such food concessions would function merely as an accessory use rather than as a principal attraction. Such a vendor and his push cart would be allowed on-site during building store hours only. Also, a vendor would be required to obtain an administrative permit use to ensure that the proposed criteria are satisfied. 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 4. Distinguishing Piers from Docks The current definition of pier, as contained in LDR Section 901.03, refers to structures used by the public only. Thus, the LDRs do not provide for "private piers" except where a private "dock" may be used as a private pier. Problems arise where a private pier (no mooring allowed) could otherwise be allowed, but a dock cannot be allowed due to the adverse impacts of boating and corresponding April 19,1999 El
