Title
ZV2024-0008, Towngate, Walkways generally located within the Cedar Way community south of Sheridan Street and east of Dykes Road, variance request. (Cole) (District 3)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Jaime Cole, agent for Towngate Master Association, is requesting a variance from the Towngate Planned Unit Development Guidelines for the Cedar Way subdivision to allow a 4 foot sidewalk on one side of the roadway for a 40’ private roadway instead of the required 4 foot sidewalk on both sides of the roadway for a 40’ private roadway. Cedar Way is generally located south of Sheridan Street and east of Dykes Road.
The variance is being sought to remove the existing sidewalk along the north side of the Cedar Way community, specifically along NW 24th Street, due to ongoing maintenance challenges. Towngate Master Association is the owner of the subject property and is responsible for the maintenance. Approval of this variance would permit the sidewalk to remain only on the south side of the roadway. There are no current plans to remove other segments of sidewalks at this time however, approval of this variance request could allow for additional sidewalk segments within the Cedar Way subdivision to be removed at a later date, so long as a sidewalk remains on the opposite side of the road.
Towngate Master Association has been cited by Code Compliance (code case 230502002) for failure to maintain the sidewalk. Should this variance be granted, the property owner will need to remove the sidewalk to come into compliance.
In 1998, the Cedar Way community, a subdivision of Towngate was approved through site plan SP97-82.
