Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes November 21, 1996 Page 6 The Chair introduced the second item on the Agenda, Request for relief from preliminary approval requirements: Applicant:. Christopher 7. Palladino Request: Relief from preliminary approval requirements This was a request to the Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning Commission from Christopher J. Palladino for relief from preliminary approval requirements for his subdivision Twin Rock. Mr. Michael Byrd, Transportation Planner, addressed the Board presenting this request stating he received a letter from Mr. Christopher Palladino regarding some of the preliminary requirements for Twin Rock subdivision off Shiloh Church Road. He said one of the Board's requirements was acceleration and deceleration lanes at the entrance to the subdivision. Mr. Byrd said in this situation, and he believes this problem will be occurring again, they simply do not have the property available to let them build the acceleration lane. The State requires 100 feet per every 10 miles per hour for the speed limit. They have about 212 feet on that side of the road. Mr. Byrd said this was his requirement from NCDOT. They are a lot more lenient on these kind of requirements than we are. It is not required by NCDOT. They are holding the issuance of the driveway permit until this board makes a decision. Mr. Moose asked Mr. Byrd what does the staff recommend. Mr. Byrd said the staff recommend approval. Mr. Marty Wilkins, representing Properties, addressed the Board stating this is a small developmenL It is only going to be 47 houses and the lots are large. He said a big part of their concern is Mr. C.B. Gardner, who has lived there a long time, they will be tarring up half his front yard building this subdivision. Mr. Hill asked Mr. Byrd if the City of Concord have a similar clause about deceleration lanes for developments of a certain size? /O
