City Council Special Meeting & Work Session

Jason SuffinstaffSame to the north. This parcel abuts both the historic building with the Kellys and Wooster House and that more modernist building across from the fire station. The same requirement lies there. We struggle with this, quite honestly. It's an old code standard where, you know, back in the day we were trying to seek service drives and other alternative modes of transportation around the city where you had small pad site buildings and drive-thrus and things. We wanted those accessed via shared access versus people getting on the street, driving a couple feet, going to the next site. It does work in certain circumstances, but in most cases we're seeing where, developers are providing an inter-parcel access easement. So, for example, they may provide one

Clark MasseyapplicantYeah, it's basically, we don't really see that it is a negative because really, you've got police and fire. literally within a stone's throw of that. I mean, directly across the street on the other side of University Drive is the new fire station that is going to be built. So if anything, we think that that's a plus because the response time has to be absolute minimal.
