2. Modify entrance to the club/office since it will
cause traffic circulation problems at the
entrance.
D. Analysis
Staff views the proposal as being compatible to the
developing trend of the area. No significant problems
with design have been found, except that noted in the
Engineering Comments. The architects asked to provide
more details on the site plan, relative to dimensioning
and parking space locations. A final plat will be
required for dedication of right-of-way, so will a
street closure for the abandoning of the old alignment
of Napa Valley and Mara Lynn Road.
E. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Discussion centered around the closing of the abutting
street on the east side of the project, and connecting the
entrance to Mara Lynn (which would require an easement).
Water Works requested an easement. A one -lot final will be
required.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Joe White represented the applicant. There were no
objectors. He requested the option of connecting the
entrance street through the open space zone to Mara Lynn if
the owner of that parcel would agree to it, or improve the
street adjacent to the property. A motion for approval was
made and passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 noes and 4 absent.
