A. PROPOSALIRE VEST:
The project engineer seeks a change in the right-of-way
dedication and street improvements on Fairview Road. He is
requesting that all right-of-way dedication and street
improvements be taken from the property on the east rather
split between the two parcels. The developer owns both
properties.
The proponents are also requesting a deferral of the
Fairview Road Street improvements until development on the
east occurs or up to 5 years. Improvements on both sides of
Fairview Road will occur at the same time.
B. ANALYSIS•
Fairview Road is currently considered a residential street
with a 50 foot right-of-way and 27 feet of pavement at
buildout. Since the portion of the street., closest to
Pleasant Ridge Road will be providing access to commercial
land uses, staff will require that Fairview Road be
developed to commercial standards. This will include
dedication of an additional 10 feet to total a 60 foot
right-of-way and 36 feet of pavement at buildout.
Staff supports the developers request to take all the 60
foot right-of-way from the property on the east side of
Fairview Road. Staff also supports a deferral of the
Fairview Road improvements until development of the east
property (Pleasant Ridge Square) or up to 5 years. All road
improvements on Fairview Road will occur simultaneously.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVAL of the revision to the PCD for Pleasant Ridge
Square as stated in paragraph -B-
as illustrated in the revised site
1996.
