(3) The residential properties to the north and west
will be protected by a 50' undisturbed green space
which is presently heavily wooded. No structures
will be built within 50' of the greenbelt area.
The area will consist of access drives and rip -rap
which will allow for a total separation of 100'
from buildings to property line.
(4) Phase I - parking, curbing, and site work
Phase II - construction of buildings starting late
fall of 1987 and covering 12 to 18 months..
C. Enqineerinq Comments
(1) Traffic analysis needed that includes impact from
abutting tracts. Harden Road does not appear to
be adequate for development.
(2) 60' right-of-way/36' pavement required on Harden
Road.
(3) Pay for design and construction of signalization
of Hardin and Financial Parkway if its justified.
(4) Intersection does not appear as if it will work
(Harden and Financial Parkway). If numbers don't
warrant signal, then development may not work.
D. Issues
(1) Inappropriate land use. Staff prefers low key
activity.
(2) Dimension site plan.
(3) Indicate planned use groups.
E. Staff Recommendation
Denial, based on inappropriate use of the land and
possible adverse effects to abutting single family
uses. The applicant has argued that the "commercial
nature of the properties to the south and east" make
this a good location for a PCD. Staff supports office
use in this area.
