The first phase of the project includes three commercial lots that will gain access from N. Harrison. The second phase consists of a single 4.01 acre lot. The applicant has requested a variance related to driveway spacing. Section 40.2.1 (Table 2) of the Shawnee Subdivision Regulations requires a driveway spacing of 175 feet.

5. Lot 1, Phase II requires a minimum lot area of 5.0 acres and therefore may only be approved and recorded upon adjustment in lot area or rezoning of the property. No building permit can be issued for a non-conforming lot, where the hardship is self-imposed.
