MTP Variance Map Jan 2019

The public is invited to comment on a variance request for the Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP). The MTP is part of Transportation Plan 2040 and outlines functional classifications of roadways with design standards to achieve those functional classifications. A new subdivision is proposing two access roads. One is across Pawnee from an existing roadway (Mayfair). The other is approximately 450’ to the west. Pawnee Road is classified as a Collector, which requires 660 feet for full access intersection spacing. To adjust for terrain and existing road connection locations long the opposite side of Pawnee Road, the variance is to allow intersection spacing of roughly 450 feet for the proposed River Pointe Subdivision.
