Jim Lawson, Planning Director, e.~lained the request of Benny
Olsen, AP 55-211-05, four lots, west side of S, Libby Road between
Pearson Road and E. Roe Road, Paradise. This is a request for
exception to access. The owner can provide 50' from Libby Road;

Request discussed. It was stated that South Libby is a very

On motiozi of Supervisor Ladd, seconded by Supervisor Cameron
and unanimously carried, the follpwing tnt~~.~~ve parcel map recommended
for approval by the Planning Commission was approved with the requested
exception to the access, subject to the coz::-.itions of the Planning

Road betUreen Pearson Road and E. Roe Road, Paradise.
Surveyor: Gary Lippincott
73_ 1225APPROVE THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISIBN MAP OF LOXLEI' GLEN
Mr. Lawson set out the background of the tentative
subdivision map of Loxley Glen, Paradise. The Planning Commission
recommend that the final map be redesigned with a connection to Val
Stream, with the reservation of a 1' strip to the County.
Supervisor Cameron felt that both the alternatives would be
poor. At the Plannig~, Commission meeting he had some reference to the
fact that the cul-de-sac would be the best way to go.
Page 393,
July 31, 1973
July 31i 1973
Mr. :z~.mby, surveyor for the subdivision, stated that to
extend the road would completely ruin the subdivision and would run
the costs up.
Hal McDonald, assistant Director of Public Works, explained
the recommendation of the Public Works Department. They feel that
it would be better to continue the present route up as it would
be a straighter route.
Mrs. Katherine Harris, Paradise, set out her objections to
the recommendation for this map. She-does not believe the cul-de-sac
should be allowed, as she feels it would block later extension of
the road. She feels that the road should be extended to Val Stream.
She objects to the approval of this map with the cul-de-sac access.
Charles Morgan, developer, stated that this parcel consists
of 4.3 acres, The road would make that portion of the subdivision
wmpletely unusable for a lot. They would lose about one acre of
land if the road were to extend through the property with the one foot
control strip at the end of the road.
Chairman McKillop stated that this Board has to think of the
health and safety of the entire area. Each subdivision that is
approved makes the roads more congested. He feels that it would be
better and safer to the people to require the extension of this road.
Mr. Castleberry felt this would be a judgment decision for
the Board to make. Tt was felt that the extension of the road to the
property line with the one foot control strip to the County might be
the best way to go.
Request for approval discussed.
It was moved by Supervisor Ladd and seconded by Supervisor
Cameron that the Loyley Glen tentative subdivision map be approved, with
the omission of condition Noe 8 of the Planning Commission, approving
the map as designed with the cul-de-sac,
