D• Engineering Comments
Access to and from this site will be extremely
difficult during peak traffic hours. The City Engineer
requests that a meeting be held to discuss the access
in more detail.
E. Analvsis
The main issue to be discussed involves the amount of —
traffic to be generated. The development is proposed
in an area that is already heavily impacted by trafffic
so this proposal must be viewed very carefully. The
applicant's future use of the adjacent tracts as office
and a food service establishment must also be
considered at this time. All three properties will
Share a proposed access easement to Shackleford. The
applicant requests acceptance of site plans drawn at
