Cross Access Between Adjoining Development To facilitate pedestrian access between adjoining developments, new single-family attached, multifamily, nonresidential, and mixed-use development shall comply with the following standards: a. The internal pedestrian circulation system shall be designed to allow for pedestrian walkway cross-access between the development’s buildings and parking areas and those in an adjoining single-family attached, multifamily, nonresidential, and mixed-use development, or to the boundary of adjoining vacant land zoned to allow single-family attached, multifamily, nonresidential, and mixed-use development. b. The Planning Director, in conjunction with the Town Engineer, may waive or modify the requirement for pedestrian cross-access on determining that such cross–access is impractical or undesirable due to the presence of topographic conditions, natural features, or safety factors. c. Easements allowing cross-access to and from properties served by a pedestrian cross-access, along with agreements defining maintenance responsibilities of property owners, shall be recorded with the Register of Deeds for the county in which the properties are located before issuance of a Building Permit for the development.
