Commission approves 1‑lot subdivision at 7210 Fourteenth Street with radius waiver

The Planning Commission on July 17 approved a one‑lot subdivision at 7210 Fourteenth Street that consolidates nine lots of record and includes a requested waiver related to Lincoln Boulevard. Jerry Byrd of Byrd Surveying spoke for the owner and said the property fronts Fourteenth Street, which has a 30‑foot right‑of‑way and is paved; Lincoln Boulevard to the north remains unimproved and ends as a dirt road about 100 feet from Fourteenth Street. Byrd asked the commission to waive the required 10‑foot widening strip and to waive a 25‑foot corner radius at the northwest corner of Fourteenth Street and Lincoln Boulevard, saying Lincoln Boulevard is unlikely to be extended beyond the property and that extending it would be costly. Engineering staff asked whether the applicant would accept a 15‑foot radius; the applicant said he preferred to eliminate the corner radius entirely. Engineering staff indicated no objection to removing the 15‑foot radius requirement. The commission then moved to approve staff recommendations and specifically waived condition number 7 as written in the staff report. The motion passed by voice vote. The approval allows the applicant to record a plat combining the nine lots, subject to any remaining technical conditions in the staff report.
