This ordinance, ORD-Q 2026-132, approves a waiver for Application WRF-26-03 to reduce the minimum required road frontage from 160 feet to 0 feet for a property located at 0 Utsey Road (RE# 002938-0030) in Council District 12. The property is zoned Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre).

Key Details:

• Applicant: Deshawna Bennett, on behalf of owner Dexter Bennett.
• Waiver Sought: Reduction of minimum road frontage from 160 feet to 0 feet.
• Reasoning for Waiver: The property was legally created prior to current codes and lacks direct frontage on a public street. Creating new frontage is deemed infeasible and would provide no additional public benefit. An existing recorded easement provides adequate vehicular access to Utsey Road.
• Conditions: The waiver is granted based on findings that practical difficulties exist, the request isn't solely cost-driven, it won't diminish property values or alter the area's character, adequate access via easement is confirmed, and it won't be detrimental to public welfare.
• Disclaimer: The waiver does not exempt the owner from any other applicable laws or permit requirements.
• Effective Date: Upon signature by the Council President and Council Secretary. The waiver becomes invalid if not exercised within one year.
