Double fronting lots (Lots 14-20); Lots exceeding the depth to width ratio of 3 to 1; Nine (9') foot utility easements along the fronts of lots; Streets less than standard widths, cul-de-sacs less than 45' radius; Non-radial or perpendicular side lot lines; Private streets. . . . .E 3 OF 6 1922PG 178 (FEE~91-39.04) Resolution No. 91-194 Page 3 The special circumstances or conditions which warrant these deviations from the design standards are as follows: 1. The granting of this petition will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other adjacent properties because: A. The double fronting lots are only proposed where the rear of the lots face onto Riverfront Parkway. This is for the purpose of limiting direct access from residential lots onto this road. Physical barriers will be constructed along the rear of these lots in order to prevent access; B. The subdivision lots exceed the stated length/width ratio. They are special in function, that is, primarily recreational lots. They are created long and narrow to provide more residents access to the river. This arrangement is not considered detrimental to any other residents in the project; C. Utility easements are proposed for the front of the lots adjacent to the private streets. The purpose is to provide for the placement of water meters and other public utilities outside the private streets. The easements are further required for drainage; D. The proposed streets and cul-de-sacs will not connect to or will not serve any other adjacent properties other than the subject subdivision. The finished street section will very nearly match the standard section required by Mohave County so that there will be no visual effect. The proposed streets will serve no one other than the residents and guests of the proposed subdivision. Further, utility easements nine (9') feet in width are proposed on either side of the street right-of-way to provide residents with the same services as though the streets meet the requirements. The cul- de-sac will be of sufficient size for vehicles to turn around; E. Non-radial lot lines will allow. for a better layout of the lots providing more usable area. This configuration will not be detrimental to the subdivision; . . . . PAGE BK 4 OF 6 1922 PG 179 (FEE~91-39404) Page 4 Resolution No. 91-194 F. The streets will remain private and be maintained by the homeowners's association. Entrance to this subdivision will be controlled by gates. There will be no through traffic. 2. This request will not nullify the intent or purpose of the Master Plan of the County or other regulations because none of the proposed exceptions will affect anything outside of the subject project. 3. The special circumstances affecting the subject property are that it is an isolated parcel surrounded by undeveloped land and the proposed layout is desired to give the impressions of a close community. The Commission recommends APPROVAL of the Petition of Exceptions based on the aforementioned justifications, with a modification to item "C". The Commission recommended that the proposed nine (9') foot PUE be expanded to a ten (10') foot PUE. NOTE: Item "D", street ROW t S proposed as forty (40') feet and private, cul-de-sacs are thirty-six (36') feet radius and private. The Commission recommends APPROVAL of the Colorado Riverfront Terrace, Phase II, with the following conditions: I : II \"....) 1.
