PC: 6-20-91 MS-91-78 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND On February 25, 1986, the Planning Division approved Minor Subdivision No. MS-86-48 subject to the condition that the access road be improved to public roadway standards. This subdivision created the subject property and three other parcels. On February 28, 1986, Tucker Barth appealed the requirement to improve the access road to public roadway standards. On April 17, 1986, the Planning Commission denied the appeal and modified some of the conditions of approval. The Planning Commission's denial was appealed to the Board of Supervisors. On May 22, 1986, the Board of Supervisors approved the appeal to remove the condition that a road built to Public Works standards be required. On April 24, 1991, the Development Services Division denied this subdivision (MS-91-78) because the tentative map is in conflict with Board Resolution No. R-88-1200. On May 6, 1991, Lois Meier (c/o Monte Seibel) appealed staffs denial to the Planning Commission. BOARD RESOLUTION NO. R-88-1200: Section 9-9380 of the Planning Trtle establishes minimum standards for access to parcels. Subsection (c) states: 'Parcels of land created by minor subdivision which because of existing improvements, physical conditions, or other unique circumstances cannot have frontage may be created, provided, however, that each lot so created is provided with a twenty-five (25) foot wide strip of land joined to the parcel it serves and further provided that the design is such that said access strips may be combined into fifty (50) foot wide roadways when required by future development.' The section goes on to state: 'Parcels created under this Section shall be required to make an irrevocable offer of dedication of said strip of land for roadway purposes and may be required to make an irrevocable offer to dedicate and improve said strip of land on demand of the County as a condition of approval of the map. When maps are approved under this Section, the approving body shall make appropriate findings to justify the necessity for the access method used.' Board Resolution No. R-88-1200 (attached) establishes the minimum standards and requirements for private rights-of-way which provide access to parcels created under the above Section. Paragraph (c) states: 'if a new parcel is being created, a maximum of six existing and/or potential lots may be served.' -7-
