FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The site includes approximately 5.86 acres +/- and is currently zoned R-20, Residential. 2. The site currently includes one single-family and two undeveloped tracts. 3. On June 20, 2018, the Subdivision Review Board approved a preliminary plan for a two-lot
Conservation Tract Subdivision for a 4.25 acre tract located at the end of Guinea Lane. 4. A Conservation tract is a tract of land in excess of four acres and less than eight acres that
abuts a ‘conservation area’ on the Land Classification Map for the Wilmington-New Hanover CAMA Plan and is limited to a minimum lot size of two acres with all such lots abutting a conservation area.
5. Conservation tract subdivisions may be exempted from lot access requirements at the discretion of the Subdivision Review Board; provided, however, in all cases, each individual lot shall be assured safe and reasonable vehicular access to and from an approved street.
6. The Land Development Code (LDC) requires all structures to be provided with access by means approved by the City Manager or designee as to its suitability for all-weather travel by
SRB-1-718-M921 Senter-Andrews Conservation Tract Subdivision 6309 & 6313 Guinea Lane and 130 Beagle Trail
2
public and emergency vehicles; and provided further that appropriate agreements or covenants approved by the City Attorney provide for continued maintenance of such streets and access ways.
7. The applicant proposes to modify the approved preliminary plan to include an additional parcel located at 130 Beagle Trail as part of the Conservation Tract Subdivision. The proposal would exclude a parcel located along Guinea Lane from the Conservation Tract Subdivision.
8. Each parcel within the new boundaries of the Conservation Tract Subdivision would be equal to or greater than two (2) acres in size.
9. The parcel located on Guinea Lane would be excluded from the Conservation Tract Subdivision and would revert to its original configuration.
10. A private access easement would be constructed across the parcel located on Guinea Lane to provide access to the Conservation Tract located to the north
11. The site is currently accessed via a 30-foot wide private access easement (Beagle Trail) that connects to Old Military Road and 45-foot wide private right-of-way (Guinea Lane) that connects to Beagle Trail.
12. Both Beagle Trail and Guinea Lane are paved and a cul-de-sac with a 50-foot radius currently exists at the end of Guinea Lane.
13. The City’s Technical Standards & Specification Manual requires a minimum width of 23-feet for a private drive at the right-of-way. The applicant is proposing a seven-foot reduction in the width of a private drive and a waiver is required.
14. The City’s Technical Standards & Specification Manual requires a minimum width of 13-feet for driveway apron tapers. The applicant is proposing an eight-foot reduction in the width of the driveway apron tapers and a waiver is required.
15. The applicant has requested a waiver from the maximum length of a private driveway. The city’s Technical Standards & Specification Manual limits the length of a private driveway, when combined with a public street, to a maximum of 800 feet in length. Staff does not believe this waiver is necessary based on the Subdivision Review Board’s authority to approve a Conservation Tract Subdivision with a non-standard access.

Request for Technical Variances The following technical waivers are requested for the proposed project due to site constraints, neighborhood character & environmental sensitivity:
1. Maximum length of Private Driveways (the combined length of public streets and private driveways for the subject lots is greater than eight‐hundred (800) feet: The proposed recombination is not altering an existing condition for access to the
building envelopes of the lots. Turnarounds, adequate for fire services & emergency vehicles, are provided at
Beagle Trail & Guinea Lane, at the terminus of Guinea Lane, and additionally at the end of the private access drive.
2. Width of the Private Drive at the Right‐of‐way (7’ reduction of the 23’ pavement width):
The proposed drive is for one (1) single‐family residence. The neighborhood is fully developed with single‐family homes, and the normal
driveway width is 10‐12’. The prescribed driveway apron is commercial in nature and would adversely affect the character of the streetscape in this location. Reference attached examples.
This is an area of environmental sensitivity. The less pavement surfaces, the better.
3. Width of the Driveway Apron Tapers (8’ reduction form the 13’ taper requirement): The proposed drive is for one (1) single‐family residence. Guinea Lane is a private right‐of‐way and this driveway intersection is on the curve
of a cul‐de‐sac. The typical driveway aprons in the neighborhood, if they even have one, are installed with residential tapers of approximately 5’.
This is an area of environmental sensitivity. The less pavement surfaces, the better.
We believe that granting the technical waivers would not be contrary to the public interest, would not materially endanger the public safety, but would substantially satisfy the intent of the Code and maintain the character of the neighborhood.
