ALREADY READ INTO THE RECORD, YOU WILL BE PRESENTING ON THE ONLY QUESTION I REALLY HAVE ON THIS ITEM IS, WE ARE ABANDONING THE FIRE -- LET ME MAKE SURE -- THE FIRE ACCESS , THE FIRE EASEMENT. THAT LEADS OFF OF QUAIL DRIVE UP TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED AT LOT 7. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, IN THIS PLAN , WE ARE STILL GOING TO BE PROVIDING FIRE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT LOT 7 . IF YOU KNOW HOW THAT WILL -->> YES, SIR . >> THE ROUTE IT TAKES, I WOULD
APPRECIATE HEARING THAT . >> A QUICK BACKGROUND, SUBJECT PROPERTY IN FRONT OF YOU ON ITEM 4C IS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL , AS A PART OF THE SUBDIVISION VARIANCE THAT WAS APPROVED ON OCTOBER 28TH BY THE COMMISSION, THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN EMERGENCY SECONDARY ACCESS THROUGH THE ALLEY . THAT CREATED A CUL-DE-SAC WITH THE ALLEYWAY ACCESS CONNECTION , THAT ALLEYWAY ACCESS CONNECTION HEAD , LIKE I MENTIONED, PROVIDE SECONDARY EMERGENCY ACCESS AND ALSO GIVES LOT 7 AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO A PUBLIC STREET. AS A RESULT OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT , THE APPLICANT WILL NOW BE ABLE TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS AND PROVIDE A DRIVEWAY TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY OFF OF THE CUL-DE-SAC HEAD .
>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> YES, SIR.
>> ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IN THAT CASE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. THIS WILL BE FUN. WE CAN DO IT BY SHOW OF HANDS AS SOON AS WE GET A MOTION .
>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION. THAT IS OKAY, SPEAK UP . GO AHEAD.
>> WHO THE NEXT MEMBERS WILL BE IN JANUARY?
