COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Kemper asked if a discussion should be agenized to discuss the double frontage lot ordinance to see if a committee needs to be formed to reviSe the ordinance since it is coming up a lot on the tracts. Commissioner Kemper asked why is it an issue on the two tracts that were discussed earlier? Mr. Grady said that the objective is not to promote the development of double frontage lots on local streets. Sometimes because of site design you may not want the homes to front an arterial or collector so it is. necessary, but for the small lot subdivision it was just a result of the design of the project based on the product that the applicant was going to build. But it still ended up with lots backing onto local streets, not arterial or collectors or roads that were considered major roads. Ms. Shaw said the problem with the double frontage lots is simply one of definition. The City's definition of a major street strictly concerns arterials and collectors. It does not address function as in a local collector so. what Commissioner Kemper is proposing would fix that. Minutes, PC, November 13, 2000 Page 6 Commissioner MCGinnis asked if he would have an opportunity to ask questions about agenda item 7 on Thursday night? It was agreed that it would not be put on' the conSent calendar for Thursday night.
