ApprO\l'al ef the street connection study by the city shall <br />constitute an adjustment to the st3ndards of EC 9.6815(2). The <br />requirements of subparagraphs (b) and (0) may be adjusted if it is <br />demonstr<3ted that a connection cannot be made because of the <br />existence of one or more of the following conditions: <br />1. Physical oonditions preclude development of the connecting <br />street. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, <br />topography or likely impaot to natural resource areas such as <br />'Netlands, ponds, streams, channels, rivers, lakes or upland <br />wildlife habitat area, or a resource on the t-btional Wetland <br />Inventory or under protection by stote or feder~lIlaw <br />2. Buildings or other existing development on adjacent lands, <br />including previously subdivided but vacant lots or parcels, <br />physically preclude a connection now or in the future, <br />considering the potential for redevelopment.] <br />[(b) Cui do Socs. <br />1. ^nadJustment to the requirement of EC 9.6820(1) may be <br />granted if it is shown that topographic constraints, existing <br />development, or natural features prevent the construction of a <br />~ <br />2. The limitation of a 100 foot maximum length for:3 cui de sac in <br />EC 9.6820(4} may be adjusted if all of the follo'....ing oonditions <br />exist; <br />a. The physical shape of tho property prevents alternative <br />developmentpattems.and there are no practicol <br />alternative street layollts available that w.oufd meet street <br />connectivity. <br />b. The physieal GOAditioRS of the property preGlllde the <br />ability to achieve the density permitted according to the <br />zoning of the property with a cui do sacot only 400 feet. <br />Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, <br />topography. or the existence of natural resource areas <br />such as wetlands, ponds, streams, channels, rivers, <br />lakes or upland wildlife habitat area, or a resource on the <br />National Wetland Inventory or under protection by state <br />or federal taw. <br />(c) ,.m~fE>~c;:!i9nStandards.] The minimum offset intersection <br />requirements set forth in EC 9.6830 may be adjusted if the <br />proposed adjustment is necessary and is designed so that no offset <br />dangerous to the traveling public is created as a result of staggering <br />of intersections. An offset necessary to assure safety and efficiency <br />based on traffic engineering principles shall be required. Upon <br />submittal by a traffic engineer and approval by the city of a study <br />that demonstrates the safety and effiCiency of an intersection offset <br />of a lesser distance, the minimum intersection offsets of 100 feet on <br />a local street, 200 feet on a collector street, and 400 feet on an <br />arterial street may be adjusted. Offsets shat! be measured from the <br />center lines of the two intersecting streets. <br /> <br />Ordinance ~ 34 <br />C:\Documents and Settings\ceplsan\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK4F\05 Ch 9 Misc.
