(A) Each parcel or lot having a single property tax number, as of the effective date of this subchapter (hereafter referred to as "the parent parcel"), that shares a lot line for less than 450 feet with right-of-way within the corridor as defined in this plan, shall be entitled to one driveway or road access per parcel onto M-84. Where a parcel is divided by M-84, the portion of the parcel on each side of M-84 shall be entitled to access according to this subchapter.
(1) All subsequent land divisions of a parent parcel shall not increase the number of driveways or road accesses beyond those entitled to the parent parcel on the effective date of this subchapter.
(2) Parcels subsequently divided from the parent parcel, either by metes and bounds descriptions, or as a plat under the applicable provisions of the Land Division Act, Pub. Act 288 of 1967, being M.C.L.A. §§ 560.101 et seq., as amended, or as a condominium project in accord with the Condominium Act, Pub. Act 59 of 1978, being M.C.L.A. §§ 559.101 to 559.272, as amended, shall have access by another public road, an approved private road if the township permits, or by a service drive meeting the requirements of § 155.370.
(3) If the parcel is a corner lot and a second driveway is warranted, the second driveway shall have access from the abutting street.
(B) All driveways or access points located on parcels greater than 450 feet shall be at least 450 feet from the nearest access point on the same or adjacent parcels. Residential and farm access driveways are exempt from this regulation.
(C) (1) A second driveway may be permitted if a registered traffic engineer determines that topographic conditions on the site, curvature on the road or sight distance limitations demonstrate a second driveway within a lesser distance is safer or the nature of the land use to be served requires a second driveway for safety.
(2) The affected agencies, including the local municipality, MDOT and SCRC or the BCRC, as applicable, must unanimously agree to the deviation.
