Commission approves 3-lot subdivision on Tanners Mill Road with shared-driveway condition
Summary
A variance reducing required frontage from 90 feet to 57.37 feet for a three-lot subdivision was approved 4-0 with a condition that a shared driveway connect the two existing driveways and serve all three lots.
The Planning Commission approved a variance to reduce minimum road frontage from 90 feet to 57.37 feet along Tanners Mill Road to permit a three-lot subdivision on an 8.56± acre tract. Applicant Steven P. Gilliam agreed to the commission’s suggestion to use a shared driveway; commissioners indicated the shared access could tie into the existing church driveway and the Tanners Mill Road apron to reduce curb cuts and meet circulation concerns.
A neighboring resident, Sherry Evans, asked why staff recommended denial; the chairman explained the UDC standard for frontage on collector/arterial roadways and confirmed the applicant's proposal would reduce it. The commission approved the request with conditions that the two driveways on Tanners Mill Road be connected by a shared driveway serving all three lots (motion by Frank Sosebee; second by Stan Hunt; vote 4-0, Varner absent).
