Access Management & Layout: Spencer Highway, a 100' right-of-way, is a primary arterial! access highway. Since traffic movement is the primary function of this arterial roadway, access management is essential. Staff and the developer need to work on restricting the driveway access of all commercial lots that front on Spencer Highway. Therefore, a 28' shared access easement (ingress & egress) is shown between lots 5 and 6 along Spencer Highway. In addition, existing drive to the southeast corner along Spencer Highway shall be removed. Sidewalks - Section 5.02 of the Development Ordinance addresses the need for sidewalks, where required by the Comprehensive Plan or by the Commission. For recent developments in this area, the Commission chose to require sidewalks. In keeping with this standard, sidewalks shall be installed along Spencer Highway with the development of lots 5 & 6. A note is placed on the face of the plat. Conclusion: Staff finds the requested replat of Part of Lot 10, Block 2, W. J. Payne Subdivision, satisfies applicable provisions of State Law and City Ordinance. Staff recommends approval with the condition that the plat not be released for recordation until all the required signatures are noted.
