Impact analysis
Redesigning the site layout to include the cross-access easement is estimated by the applicant to cost a minimum of $50,000 in engineering and delay expenses.
The property owner gets to develop long-vacant lots, and the city gains commercial activity on a corridor it's been trying to revive.
Future neighboring developments may lose cross-access options because of the granted variance.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT - Jan 21, 2026
The developer of a vacant 0.551-acre commercial site on Elm Street is asking to be excused from building a required cross-access driveway connection to neighboring lots. Because adjacent commercial properties don't have cross-access connections either, the builder argues that putting in a stub driveway would cost extra money without connecting to anything useful.
