4. Development needs to provide pipe -stem access
(driveway to be'extended for a minimum of 100 feet
into property without cross streets).
D. Analysis
The applicant needs to provide information regarding
the proposed uses of each unit and how they relate to
size if other uses besides retail are planned. Since
there are residential zonings on the north, east'and
west sides, a 6-foot fence and 40-foot landscaped
buffer is required. The site plan should reflect the
on -site fire system and trash pickup areas/dumpsters
and how they will be screened.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.

The applicant was present. He submitted a new site plan
modifying the waiver request from 40' to 251. Several
persons from the neighborhood were present. Ms. Sa►.igey
stated that she was in support of the previous rezoning of
this property to "C-3" for development of a country store,
but now the store had blossomed into 22 shops. She was not
in opposition, but concerned that this was the first
commercial development on Highway 10 and that the
thoroughfare may end up looking like ,Rodney Parham Road.
She asked that the applicant adhere to all landscaping and
setbacks. Another resident who resides at 14196 Cantrell
Road stated his preference for a grocer-y store versus a
shopping center. Some Commissioners expressed unhappiness
about the fact that a busload of -persons had'cone down for
the original rezonings, and they had been told that the site
would be used for a country store. Now, it was proposed for
a shopping center and needed waivers.
