Briefing Paper 9: Standards for Cross Access Easements in Cluster Developments.
Linda Finger, Planning Resource Coordinator, and Keith Browning, the Director of Public Works, recommended the initiation of an amendment to Section 20-804(c)(1)(ii) and to Section 20-815 of the City/County Subdivision Regulations for public hearing by the Planning Commission in June 2008.  The amendments would establish clearer process and procedural steps for the filing of Cross Access Easements in a Cluster Developments, the minimum standard for construction of a Cross Access Easement to address safety and emergency responder needs, and would revise the definition of Cross Access Easement in the regulations.  These revisions would close the gap between the written regulations and intended purpose of the regulations at the time of adoption. McElhaney moved to approve the initiation of the amendment for the public hearing in June by the Planning Commission.  Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
