Title
Cumberland Co. Health Dept. Property
Body
SUMMARY: Cumberland County is proposing a 1 lot subdivision at the intersection of Hayes Street and South Webb Avenue with a remainder greater than 5 acres. The property is the old Health Department property. Upon submission of the plat, City planning staff began reviewing and noticed an odd fact. Even though Hayes Street is an accepted City Street, been maintained, and paved, there has never been a formal dedication of right of way. In talking with the surveyor and representatives of the plat, the City proposed that this be corrected. Since this does classify Hayes Street as a “new” right of way, it triggers the requirement of a cul-de-sac, per the Crossville Regional Subdivision Regulations. The County, is formally asking for a variance to the creation of a cul-de-sac, since the road is already an official City Street. City staff conducted a brief research of old Official City Street maps, and did see where the portion of Hayes Street, in front of the old health department was accepted on the 1997 City Street map. The County is also requesting the planning review fees be waived.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of both requested variances and the approval of the plat as submitted.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approve or deny the variances and plat.
