Commission approves private lane and five-lot plan for Dansie Cove Bridal Lane
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit for a private lane to serve five lots at ~3112 West 134th South; staff noted the property was rezoned to R3 by council (Ordinance 25-20) and recommended a 26-foot lane to allow parking on one side.
Riverton's Planning Commission approved Aug. 14 a conditional-use permit allowing a private lane to serve up to five lots at approximately 3112 West 134th South (PLZ-25-2034).
Tim (staff) reminded commissioners that City Council previously rezoned the property to R3 under Ordinance 25-20, and that a private lane was anticipated during the rezoning. Staff recommended approval of a private lane because a public street layout would consume most of the parcel and make residential lots infeasible; the applicant proposes a 26-foot-wide driving surface (one foot wider than the 25-foot minimum) to permit parking on one side in some locations.
Applicant Alan Prince described similar projects he built and said he adjusted the alignment to avoid an existing Rocky Mountain Power pole and a Riverton street light, adding a short serpentine alignment to improve aesthetics and slow traffic. Staff said the proposal meets fire and city-code requirements and will return as a final plat and subdivision for neighbor notice and final engineering review.
Commissioner Clough moved to approve the private-lane conditional use with conditions 1–10; Commissioner Mathison seconded and the motion passed on a voice vote.
