RE: Response Letter #1 for ZMA2021-00005 1805 Avon Street Extended — Access Management
Exception Request
Dear Mr. Moore,
Thank you for your review of the access management request for ZMA2021-00005 1805 Avon Street
Extended. This letter contains responses to comments dated May 27, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
1. The plan and exception request note a full access entrance which requires 335 ft. of spacing.
However, the only entrance in conflict listed is for the Southside Church of God. However, it
appears that the commercial entrance for parcel 90-35C is also within 335 ft. Additionally, it
appears the entrance for Avinity may be very close to 335 ft. as v '
RESPONSE: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The analysis has been updated to
include TMP 90-35C. The proposed entrance is 375' from the Avinity subdivision entrance,
which is beyond the 335' required.
2. The exception does not address the potential for a partial access entrance. Such an entrance would
appear to only be in conflict with the church entrance.
RESPONSE: Further information evaluating a partial access entrance is now included in the AM-
E request (see page 4).
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
