Concept/Tree Preservation Plan
This is a concept and a tree preservation plan. The request is to rezone from “AG Agricultural District to “SF-30” Single Family Residential District to allow construction of a new
home on an approximately 36,442 square foot tract of land. The minimum lot area in the “SF-30 zoning district is 30,000 square feet. An application for a one-lot plat showing, which
can be administratively approved, has also been submitted. The subject property is exempt from the sidewalk requirement because sidewalks do not exist on both sides of the lot and the
lot is not located within 1500’ of a public or private school on the same side of the street. This site is currently serviced by an 8” water line in Our Lane. City sewer is not available,
so the site will be served by a private septic system. The on-site sewage facility will be located to the west of the home and is indicated on the slide. ZBA approved a variance on
this property to allow a septic system on a lot less than 1 acre at its February 11, 2016 meeting. The proposed development complies with the tree preservation plan. Five trees will
be removed and 42 trees will remain.

Residential Turnaround Requirements
Residential Turnaround Requirements
Residences, structures, or portions of either hereafter constructed shall be accessible to fire department apparatus by way of an approved fire apparatus
access road with an asphalt, concrete or other approved driving surface capable of supporting the imposed load of fire apparatus, a minimum of 85,000 pounds.
Fire apparatus access
roads shall not exceed ten percent in grade.
Fire apparatus access roads shall be a minimum width of ten feet.
Dead-end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet shall
be provided with an approved turn around for the apparatus that meets the requirements of one of the options listed below.
One of the stipulations in the 1st reading motion is that the property owner provide an emergency turnaround at the property. The Fire Marshal requirements for residential turnarounds
are shown here. The highlighted option will not require changing the driveway layout on the concept plan. The required hammerhead length of 70’ will just have to be able to support 85,000
lbs. The turnaround has to be at least 10' wide and a 12' drive is shown on the concept plan, so that's already okay.
