Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes August 17, 1995 Page 9 points be closer than 100 feet to each other, as measured from the nearest curbs or edges of pavement, excluding any area of the access flared to improve vehicle ingress or egress. This requirement may be waived if no other access to the property would be possible. The additional access point shall be no more than 32 feet in width, and shall be defined by a curb on both ends of the access point. A standard sight triangle (10' by 70') shall be maintained on the portion of curb adjoining the access point. No structure, sign, planting, etc. shall be placed in. the sight triangle that would interfere with the tractor trailer being able to enter or exit the property in one continuous movement. The area required for these improvements to provide an additional access may not be included in the area required for the Thoroughfare yard. Mr. Jeter said this is very well worded and he thinks that this is going to address some of those concerns that the board has. Given the fact that there is so much stipulation here, he is just wondering, and he was not involved in any of the conversation that lead up to the drafting of this, though he personally would be comfortable if they were to say "an additional access point may be approved at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator for access to commercial or industrial property," and then delete the approval of so it would read, "this additional access point shall require." He said he is very comfortable that the Zoning Administrator, as knowledgeable as he is, can make that decision about an additional access point in any scenario. Mr. Jeter said given the fact that we are tightening it up so much, why don't we give our Zoning Administrator the ability to make that call without restriction in the first sentence.
