ACCESS ROADS and SUBDIVISION ROADS
Strawberry Creek County Road No.12-126 and Pine Knoll Road will provide access to the site.
The applicant will need to widen Pine Knoll Road to 24’travelway with 1’shoulders.
Staff does not like the proposed location of the cul-de-sac as 4 lots would have driveways
accessing from the cul-de-sac which is not a well planned road.Staff recommends the cul-de-sac
move east approximately 400’and be placed between Lots 14 &15.This would result with only
Lot 15 accessing directly off the end of the cul-de-sac.
PHYSICAL CHALLENGES:The physical challenges to this subdivision may be the widening
of the subdivision road from County Road 126 over Strawberry Creek.
DRINKING WATER SOURCE:Individual Wells
WASTEWATER TYPE:Septic (Type to be determined by Chapter 23 DEQ Study)
COMMUNITY PLAN AREA:Thayne.No limitations on this use.
