§ 5.4. Access to public street.

Every principal structure hereafter erected shall be on a zoning lot or parcel of land which adjoins a public street or an exclusive permanent easement of access to a public street; such exclusive easement to each individual lot to be at least 20 feet wide unless a lesser width was duly established and recorded prior to the effective date of this ordinance, or where such lot or parcel is a part of a neighborhood plan as outlined in Article 8, Section 8.4 of this ordinance.

No exclusive permanent easement of access will be allowed to intersect another permanent easement of access unless at the point of intersection the total width of exclusive permanent easement is equal to 20 feet multiplied by the number of lots or parcels served. The total width is required from the point of intersection to a public street.

However, a 60-foot wide access easement to a public street will be permitted to serve a minor subdivision, as defined by the Development Rules and Regulations of Cherokee County. Any subdivision of land of five or more lots or parcels of land shall require full compliance with the street standards and specifications as outlined in the Cherokee County Development Regulations.
