Traffic commission grants conditional approval for two land-development driveway plans, including Habitat for Humanity project
Summary
The commission approved driveway configuration for a four-unit project at 558 Longfellow and granted conditional driveway approval for an eight-unit Habitat for Humanity project at 913 Wheatland, subject to final city engineering and planning reviews.
The Traffic Commission approved two land-development requests on Nov. 11 that clear traffic-control and driveway configurations for upcoming housing projects, including conditional approval for a Habitat for Humanity affordable-housing site.
Randy Dautrick of Dautrick Engineering presented plans for 558 Longfellow, a proposed four-unit apartment building with seven parking spaces plus one ADA-accessible space. The commission approved the driveway openings required for that site as part of the land-development review process.
Separately, Ben Morton of RGS Associates and Andrew Zillay of Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity requested conditional approval of driveway locations for an eight-unit owner-occupied multifamily development at 913 Wheatland Avenue. The commission granted conditional approval for the two proposed driveway locations and the elimination of a third driveway, subject to final staff and engineering sign-off and completion of required easements and agreements with neighboring property owners.
Why it matters: Both approvals address how vehicular access will function for new housing and are a necessary step in the land-development and permitting sequence. Commissioners emphasized that the approvals are conditional and do not permit construction until final planning and engineering conditions are met.
