[14-302(A)101 Right offurther division ofproposed lots. The development rights note on the plat is incorrect. TMP 70-49 is only allotted 3 development rights based on its acreage. Revise the development right note on the plat to read: "Lot 1, 2, and 3 are each assigned 1 development right and stay not be further divided. " Notably, the minimum lot size in the Rural Area zoning district is 2 acres, thus they would not be further subdividable regardless of additional development rights. 4. [14-232, 14-3061 Private Streets. The private street request shall be sent to the Planning Commission for review and approval prior to final plat approval. This item has not been acted on prior to receiving conditional approval of the preliminary plat. The private street must meet the standards under 14-410 and 14-412. Additionally, revisions to the private street request are needed, revise the request as follows: A) The private street appears to serve 4 lots. The 3 proposed lots and TMP 70- 4813, which currently utilizes it to serve the existing addressed structure #8180. Revise the request to state this, if this is not the case provide an explanation in the request. B) Revise finding #iii of the request to provide the acreage of the private street easement. This information will then be utilized to determine if the street area was dedicated to public use and subtracted from the proposed lots, that each lot would still be able to maintain a 2 acre minimum. Q The private street request is incomplete and needs to also include required justifications under Section 14-234, as follows: [14-234(a)] The request shall include: (i) a map of the subdivision having contour intervals of not greater than twenty (20) feet showing the horizontal alignment; (ii) field - run profiles and typical cross-sections of the proposed streets; (iii) the maximum number of lots to be served by each private street; and (iv) documentation explaining how the perpetual maintenance of the private street including, and identifying the person or entity that will be responsible for maintaining the improvements. * The request shall also include earthwork computations demonstrating significant degradation.
