CASE NUMBER: 77S160
APPLICANT: RONALD F. BULTJE
I~EQUEST AND PROPOSED USE: A Variance to use a parcel of land which has
no public road frontage for dwelling purposes. The applicant plans
to build a single family dwelling on this parcel.

this parcel lies approximately 286 feet off the east line of Rowlett
Road, measured from a point 0.4 miles north of its intersection with
Hickory Road. Tax Map Sec. 159 (1) Part of Parcel 32-2 (Sheet 47).

GENERAL PLAN: Agricultural (A) use.
REQUEST ANALYSIS: The applicant who is a property owner plans to build
a single family dwelling on this site. He states that access to
Rowlett Road will be over and across a private road easement from point
A to point B as shown on the attached map.
ALTERNATIVES AND MITtGATING ME~SURES: Staff reviewed this request and finds
that this parcel and adjacent parcels are large with a good potential
for future subdivision. Staff visited the location and notes that this
parce~ was once occupied by a mobile home. The existing drive will
require some ~mprovements if adequate ingress and egress is to be
provided for emergency vehicles.
Staff notes that by definition, this is a subdivision. The creation
of the parcel as the applicant proposes does not meet the exemption
requirements from the Subdivision Ordinance. In this case, the proposed
parcel does not meet the exemption requirements because it does not
front along an existing State ~ighwa~ and therefore, requires the
opening of a new street. Based on this, Staff believes that approval
of this request would violate the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST AND SUGGEST THAT
