Body
Item Summary:
This request is for a variance from Section 12.4.10 of the Roswell Zoning Ordinance to reduce the required right of way for the Groveway Community Overlay District from 50' to 30'. The request is for an alternative right-of-way section for the public street in Hill Street Commons. This is part of a 2.183 acre lot that is being divided into twenty-one (21) residential lots. The main road running through the middle of the development is a public road with a 50 foot right-of-way. The applicant is requesting a variance to the 50 foot right-of-way requirement for public streets in the Groveway form based code and reduce it to 30 feet to help maintain the cottage character and provide more greenspace for the development. There is also a one way road running along the perimeter of the development around the single-family homes. This road will be a private street built to city standards.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
The Community Development Department supports this alternate right-of-way provided the applicant can provide a 30' road section that is approved by the Transportation Department that adequately locates utilities and all other necessary infrastructure within the 30' cross section.
Financial Impact:
