The PC did not act on this at the last meeting. Comm. Watson moved and Comm. Smith seconded the motion to open the continued public hearing. Access lroadways /utilities /Variance request: The applicant is requesting a variance to the subdivision regulations to allow one access into the subdivision. The access to the proposed development is off CR72 via a refined alignment of Grand Park Drive, through the Johns property. The applicant is suggesting that the realignment of Grand Park drive "creates far less disturbance with more gradual slopes and will not be visible from the Fraser Valley. The currently approved alignment south of Elk Creek would have created a significant visual impact." The new alignment -I .~ h, has been achieved through an easement agreement with the Johns family and Cornerstone and ultimately the Town of Fraser. The agreement references 2 temporary construction easements (one 100' wide non-exclusive easement for roadway and utilities, and one 60' wide non-exclusive easement for sewer utilities) in which the final alignment of the utility improvements and the permanent easements and/ or dedication shall be based on final engineering designs and plans. The construction easements shall terminate upon completion of the improvements associated with said easements and initial . acceptance of such improvements. At that time, the construction easements will be converted to permanent easements and dedicated to the appropriate entities. Clark Lipscomb provided East Grand Fire Protection District with a tour of the property. Previously, there was a discussion that fire protection would be provided utilizing a sump fire hydrant from the pond across from the subdivision. The September 2006 PC minutes references the following condition: "EGFPD to approve use of hydrant and pond for fire protection. Provide access easement to pond for fire protection because the pond is located ou tside of the subdivision boundary. Add plat note referencing this separate easement." As a result of the tour, EGFPD has conceptually agreed to another method of fire protection, making this previous condition a moot point. Clark Lipscomb wrote a memo to Dennis Soles proposing the following: 1. Water Storage - We propose any homes constructed on the five lots prior to the extension of the Town's domestic water line supply providing adequate water pressure and hydrant shall require the use of individual water storage tanks on site and shall be sprinkled meeting requirements of NFPA 13D. 2. Grand Park Drive Access - The proposed access road is the initial phase of Grand Pai-k Drive and as such, we have asked for a variance to allow for a single access to 13Wb at this time. The road will have grades of up to 8% for limited distances in areas, and overall represents a superior road alignment and grade from the previously approved Grand Park Drive alignment. We propose adding a hammer head turn around just prior to the existing ponds entering area 13Wb.l and at the end of the proposed 13Wb.1 road serving the five lots. EG FPD needs to agree with this proposal. Staff had a concern about the legal access to the subdivision. Per Rod McGowan's memo: "Grand Park Drive is proposed to be re-Iocated outside the Town boundaries, the (applicant is) not in a position to provide a dedicated public street to the Town." The Town Attorney had discussions with the applicant's attorney regarding access. Rod McGowan proposed that the Town could allow the roadway to be a private road, with acceptable easements for public access and utilities. Condition # 6 from the 9/29/06 PC meeting needs to be amended to indicate that the road is private initially and may be dedicated to the Town of Fraser in the future. Plat note #6 originally anticipated that the road would be dedicated to the Town. Conditions that need to be met prior to the Town accepting the road as public are to be addressed. A revised plat note shall read something like the following: ~ ,. "'_'1 ..,.... "There will be no maintenance by the Town of Fraser on the roadways until such time as the public access and utility easements are accepted and/or dedicated to the Town of Fraser." Comm. Shapiro moved and Comm. Sumrall seconded the motion to approve the variance with Rod McGowan's recommendation. Motion carried: 5-0. 5. Staff Choice TP Trotter: Wes Becker building, shell done some units rented. 6. Commissioners' Choice Comm. Sumrall moved, and Comm. Shapiro seconded the motion to adjourn. Motion carried: 5-0.
