§ 18.32.050. Resubdivision of large and deep lots.

When applications for exceptions to the subdivision ordinance are made for minor subdivisions in which frontage on a public street is not provided for all parcels, the following standards for access improvements shall be followed:

A.

When vehicular access for two or less dwelling sites is provided by way of a private access road, such road shall be of a minimum width of sixteen feet of pavement. When such access is provided for three or four sites, twenty-four feet of pavement shall be provided. Access for more than four parcels shall conform to Section 18.24.040.

B.

Design for private access roads shall be subject to approval of the city engineer. The city engineer shall require curb and gutter and drainage facilities as may in his opinion be needed. A cul-de-sac, with a paved radius of twenty-five feet, or an approved Y-turnaround shall be required to permit forward driving in both directions on private roads.

C.

Area minimum and frontage minimum for sites fronting on a public street shall be as required by the zoning ordinance. For each site not fronting on a public street in the R-1 zone, the minimum area shall be six thousand square feet; in the R-l-B-l zone, eight thousand square feet; and in the R-l-B-2 zone, ten thousand square feet. Private roads shall not be included in the building site area computations. Setbacks shall be as required in the zoning ordinance, and no part of the private road may be within the setback area.

D.

All large and deep lot subdivisions shall conform to the general pattern of the neighborhood.

E.

Since the above procedure involves exceptions to the subdivision ordinance, additional variances relating to yard requirements shall not be granted.
