Staff recommends denial of increased residential intensity at Cribben Road parcel over sight-distance concerns
Summary
Staff told commissioners a partial rezoning of an 18-acre portion of a 66-acre property at 4628 Cribben Road does not support increased residential intensity because of questionable sight distance on a curved section of Crippen Road with a record of crashes between 2016 and 2025.
Kelsey presented a partial rezoning request for an 18-acre portion of a larger 66-acre parcel at 4628 Cribben Road, designated SR (Suburban Residential) in the county comprehensive plan.
She said the property fronts a curved section of Crippen Road that lacks shoulders and raises safety concerns: "There have been multiple automobile accidents, that have occurred along this curve on Crippen Road between 2016 and 2025, which raises safety concerns." Staff and engineering asked for a field site-distance certification, noting the applicant's initial KGIS-based measurements had a margin of error and a revised certification with field measurements is being prepared. As a result, staff said the site "does not support increasing residential intensity" at this time.
Commissioners had no questions at the time the item was presented; staff said a revised staff report and recommendation may be incoming once the applicant provides corrected field measurements.
