- Sec 16-18I.020(2) Curb cuts. The driveways from the single family homes open onto a private road which will have traffic from the bank drive through windows. The potential for conflicts should be considered. The placement of the driveways with regard to proximity to East Andrews should be considered and the number of curb cuts allowed.
- Sec 16-18I.011(2) Setbacks – the maximum setback on the western edge of the property is a maximum of 20 feet

Further information will be needed to provide the historic context which led to the requirement for this connection and how the proposed development differs in such a way that the original intent is no longer applicable.
- The applicant will formally submit the SAP and return before the DRC once it has been filed.
