Applicant says drive already meets county standards as commission approves access easement to add lots
Summary
Diamond Shores asked to convert a shared private drive to a private access easement to add two lots for the applicant's children; applicant said the drive is already improved to county standards and staff recommended disapproval, but the commission approved the change with two recorded opposing votes.
Ashley Cowan, representing Diamond Shores, asked the commission to approve converting an existing 50-foot shared private drive into a 50-foot private access easement, telling commissioners the shared drive "is already improved and built to county standards" and that the applicant wants approval "so that he can add 2 more lots for his children."
Staff advised disapproval under land-development rules because the easement would create access from an unimproved roadway. Despite that recommendation, the chair moved to approve the design modification and the commission granted approval; the chair recorded two opposing votes during the roll-call voice vote.
