McIntosh, on behalf of Wagner Station Planned Unit Development, to waive certain requirements of Section 9-157 of the Code that provides design/construction and inspection standards established for private streets. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is for Commission action on a request by Donald W. McIntosh, on behalf of Wagner Station Planned Unit Development, to waive the Code to allow sidewalks meandering in and out of the right-of-way, and to have a specialty pavement on the entry road into the subdivision. Wagner Station Planned Unit Development is located on the north side of State Road 434 directly across from Winding Hollow Boulevard. APPLICABLE CODE: Section 9-157. Private streets. A private street as a principal means of access to individually owned lots shall be prohibited unless appropriate deed restrictions are recorded and legally binding, and permanent maintenance associations are formed. This requirement may not apply to the provision of roadways within shopping centers, industrial or wholly commercial districts, apartment projects or townhouse projects and other developments under single ownership or commercial ownership, In such cases, the owner shall be responsible for the construction, maintenance and control of such private streets, Private streets shall meet design/construction and inspection standards established for public streets unless waived by specific council action. December 08, 1997 Regular Agenda Item E Page 2 FINDINGS: Section 9-157. Private streets. This section of the City code specifies, among other things, that. . . "Private streets shall meet design/construction and inspection standards established for public streets unless waived by specific council action." The developer is proposing to construct sidewalks that meander outside the rights of way of the proposed private streets to allow design flexibility. In addition, the entry road will feature a specialty pavement. Although code Section 9-157 permits the use of private streets, under certain conditions, changes in design/construction/inspection standards must be approved by the commission. Staff has reviewed the request and has no objection to the change in construction standards as described and as illustrated on the attached sketches. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation is that the City Commission approve the request that the developer for Wagner Station planned development be allowed to construct private streets that do not meet design/construction/inspection standards as they specifically relate to meandering sidewalks and specialty pavements at the entry road.
