recommendation
I move the City Council authorize the Mayor to provide correspondence to the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission in support of Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-21032, subject to the following conditions:
1. The site plan is amended to reflect a 2-foot variance to the total frontage minimum depth requirement to accommodate other improvements between the building façade and right-of-way. The intent of the variance is to provide adequate width to support:
a. Two (2) 10-foot vehicle travel lanes.
b. Four (4) feet of pavement between the tree and furniture zone and first travel lane shall be allocated to a future bike lane along the property pending future development along this right-of-way.
2. While Toledo Road is at interim condition, a Public Use Easement (PUE) shall be granted over the improved portion of the roadway.
3. When the entirety of Toledo Road between Toledo Terrace and Belcrest Road is improved to a public standard and with the conditions outlined above, the applicant must file a confirmatory deed stating that the roadway is to be publicly dedicated to the City of Hyattsville, upon inspection by, and approval of, the City of Hyattsville.
