The Planning Department has concerns about the street alignment and correct placement of the collector street off Bowman Road. 2. Northridge Drive needs to be a collector for the first 270 feet for future development of Tract B and C. 3. Check with Public Works for street name conflicts. E. ANALYSIS• The Planning Staff, in reviewing this plat, realizes that the Developer attempts to continue a preliminary, which was approved on this property at an earlier time.
