Council reviews certified survey map on Eastside Road for potential thrift-store site
Summary
Council reviewed a certified survey map to split a parcel on Eastside Road into a 2.79-acre lot with a 66-foot egress easement and an access restriction; the proposed buyer is a local thrift store and councilmembers emphasized a single-driveway requirement for traffic and drop-off control.
The council reviewed a certified survey map (CSM) proposing a new 2.79-acre lot on Eastside Road with approximately 303 feet of frontage. Planning staff (Joe) said the plan includes a 66-foot egress easement on the south edge to create a shared driveway and to restrict additional frontage driveways, preserving the remainder of the frontage from individual curb cuts. The proposed purchaser is a local thrift store seeking a new location; staff and the planning commission recommended approval and the CSM will return to council for a formal vote at the next meeting.
Councilmembers raised concerns about future traffic circulation and drop-off zones, noting many thrift stores operate drive-through-style donation drop-offs and can generate multiple entrances; members stressed that the access restriction on the frontage must be enforced and that only one driveway would be allowed under the proposed CSM. Planning staff said the driveway must remain within the dedicated easement and future street extensions could be accommodated within the 66-foot easement if a road is later built.
