WHEREAS:
1. Stephen M. Rice, on behalf of Rosalie D. Lincoln, has appealed
a decision of the Planning Commission as follows: Denial of subdivision
application M -87-2 requesting approval of a two (2) lot subdivision of
1.26 acres in the R- 1:20,000 zone on property located at 58 Alpine Avenue
and owned by Rosalie D. Lincoln;
2. A public hearing was scheduled by the Town Council for July
20, 1987, and at the request of the applicant, was continued to and held
on August 3, 1987. Adoption of the resolution of the appeal was set for
August 17, 1987 Town Council meeting and continued to September 8, 1987,
and continued to September 21, 1987 and continued to October 19, 1987. On
October 19, 1987 the Town Council voted to reconsider the matter and set
the appeal for public hearing on December 7, 1987. The hearing was
continued to December 21, 1987 on which date a public hearing was held by
the Town Council.
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED:
1. The Town Council hereby finds that during the course of the
hearing on this appeal that the Town's traffic policies have been amended
and that the proposed subdivision may be approvable under the revised
policies.
The revised policies regulating residential development with unmitigated
traffic impacts provide that the Planning Commission make findings to
allow a lot split creating a corridor lot and this appeal should be
determined by the Planning Commission based on said policies.
2. The Town Council further finds that the application must be
reviewed by the Development Review Committee for the recommendation of
conditions for subdivision approval and findings of consistency with the
new traffic policy.
3. Based on the foregoing, the Town Council hereby remands the
appeal of the subdivision application to the Planning Commission to
consider the following:
1. Whether this application meets the criteria for
subdivision under the revised Town traffic policies;
2. If a subdivision can be approved on the property,
whether findings can be made to permit the lot split creating a
corridor lot which show that the corridor lot is the superior design
by reducing the amount of grading and /or the amount of vegetation to
be removed; and
3• If subdivision approval is possible, to make conditions
of approval.
