Title
Committee action to approve a major modification request for a private road, Shields Township.
Staff Summary
• The Arden Shore Estates Subdivision was platted in 1927; however, portions of Douglas Terrace and Melvin Drive rights-of way were not improved and remain as private roads.
• Three homes were constructed along Melvin Drive between the 1970s and 1980s, prior to the adoption of the current road improvement standards; the remainder of the abutting lots are vacant.
• Jessica and Michael Chappell, record owners of 201 Melvin Drive, are seeking major modifications to allow more than three lots to be served by a private road and a reduction of minimum road improvement standards to allow the current road surface to remain as-is.
• Lake County staff does not recommend approval.
