Body
BACKGROUND: Petitioner, Brandon Dean of Custom Builders, LLC, is proposing to subdivide 9.618 acres into 8 single family residential lots resulting in a density of 0.83 dwelling unit per acre. The lots vary in size from 0.47 to 1.49 acres and are accessed by a new cul-de-sac. A waiver is requested to allow the cul-de-sac to exceed the maximum length of 400 feet.
