(8.4) Consideration of request for a break in restricted access on Marcella
Drive.
(8.4a) First reading Ordinance Number 96-9741.
The Commission discussed the development of the North/South road on
the east side of the lot with Roy Dudark, Director of Planning and Community
Development, stating that the applicant's engineers are looking at solving the
delineation problem and further discussed the width of the access.
Susan Goding, Goding Realty, Inc., representing the applicant
Casey's General Store, indicated the width of the access was a matter of safety
to them and reiterated that they would like to have the forty -foot opening.
After a further discussion of the request and the current maximum
driveway standard of thirty -feet it was moved by Commissioner Divine,
seconded by Commissioner Seaton, to adopt Ordinance Number 96-9741 with the
following conditions recommended by staff:
1. The break -in -access shall be limited to the current maximum opening
of thirty (30) linear feet to remain in compliance with the current
driveway standards. With a typical driveway approach, a thirty-foot
driveway at the property line actually equates to a forty -one -foot
curb opening.
2. The north boundary of the break -in -access shall be a minimum of
sixty-six linear feet from the south end of radius of the intersection
of Schilling Road to remain in compliance with the current driveway
standards. This standard deals with clearance distance between
access driveways and busy intersections to provide space for
vehicular stacking in the interest of public safety.

original development plan whereby an internal access road will be
constructed with one opening onto Schilling Road and one opening
onto Marcella Drive.

Commission reconvene in this room in ten minutes or at 5:12 p.m. Aye: (5).
Nay: (0). Motion carried.
