§ 16.32.030. Creation of lots on private access easement—Where permitted.  


Latest version.
  • An application may be filed for a division of real property into four or less parcels, of which all have vehicular access on a private access easement, in situations:

    A.

    Where existing frontage or the width of the parcel does not permit a street opening with the minimum accepted right-of-way;

    B.

    Where existing frontage is sufficient for the provision of a street but where a street opening would result in the creation of fewer lots;

    C.

    Where a street opening would result in the creation of lots meeting minimum area requirements of the zoning ordinance but of inadequate design due to their being too long in relation to their width, too narrow, panhandled, or shaped in any other way that is undesirable;

    D.

    Where the legal alternative to a street opening is the creation of more than one panhandled lot;

    E.

    Where topographic conditions preclude the installation of a street meeting acceptable grades and other standards.
