BACKGROUND:
In the John Barrow Plan, the Policy Plans' section on
Business And Commercial Goal states "To enhance the climate
directed towards encouraging new businesses and commercial
establishments to locate in the area as well as retention of
existing businesses." Office, on the tract facing Colonel
Glen, can act as a transition to the heavier commercial
nature of Asher Avenue and fulfill one of the goals to bring
new bushiness into the area.
The Plan also states to "determine design standards for new
construction of single, two and multiple family housing in
the area." The Euclid Place Addition tracts should be held
for development of housing stock in accordance with the
Plan. Weldon Street has been platted to the east.
Staff believes that the conversion of the Euclid Place tract
to Office would be an intrusion onto the Single Family area
to the north , would not be able to be served off of Colonel
Glenn and cause traffic problems on site and in the
neighborhood to the north. For these reasons, the Euclid
Place Addition tracts should be held for development of
housing stock in accordance with the Plan.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood
associations: Sandpiper, Twin Lakes, Westbrook, Sewer
District # 147, Twin Lakes, Campus Place, Kensington Place,
Birchwood, Westwood, and Pennebrook.
As of this printing, Staff has received no phone calls form
area residents. Please note the letter of support from the
John Barrow Neighborhood Association and from Green Memorial
Baptist Church. Also attached are eight letters of support
from neighbors.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change to Office is appropriate on the
1.13 acre tract facing Colonel Glen Road.
