Commission considers 30–60 ft frontage range and stricter private‑drive rules

Sep 11, 2026

The full story

Staff reviewed options for minimum road frontage and driveway-separation standards to reduce unsafe closely spaced driveways: options included a 30‑foot minimum tied to easement width or a 50–60 foot standard to ensure separation on higher‑speed roads. Committee members noted local adopted roads sometimes require a 60‑foot right‑of‑way and asked staff to reconcile frontage with existing county adoption practices.
