DEC 15 19K BOK 52 F� 395 anticipated that the subject property and the two blocks east of it in Oslo Park Subdivision will continue to develop in a manner similar to the existing land use patterns. The vacant parcel east of Oslo Park Subdivision should be encouraged to develop in general commercial or offices to provide an inter- mediate area between the industrial uses in Oslo Park and to provide a buffer to the residential area on the south of Oslo Road. Utilities - The subject property presently receives municipal water services. When the South County Water Plant is on-line, it will serve the area. Individual septic systems are required in this area. The County's Environmental Health Unit reviews all septic tanks for industrial facilities and refers the permit to the State Department of Environmental Regulation, if determined necessary. These reviews will limit the uses which may occur on the lots in Oslo Park and will serve to eliminate the possi- bility of obnoxious wastes affecting nearby residents. Traffic - The Public Works Division, Traffic Engineer, developed traffic projections based on the assumption the future develop- ment would be similar to the existing warehousing and auto repairs. The capacity of Oslo Road along the subject property is approximately 12,000 ADT's with a volume/capacity ratio of .42 or 420 of existing capacity is utilized. The increased traffic generated by the infill development of the site is pro- jected to be approximately 560 Average Daily Trips (ADT) and 180 Peak Hour Trips. Based on maximum development of the site under the M-1, Restricted Industrial District, the projected ADT on Oslo Road will be 5,500 and Peak Hour Trips will be 680. This would result in a volume/capacity ratio of .46 or 460 of capacity. The subject property has access to a major arterial, Oslo Road. The streets within the site are unpaved. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the foregoing discussion, staff recommends approval. Ms. Johnson stated that staff recommends rezoning to -x M-1 to make the existing structures conforming and noted that you can redevelop in MXD according to uses already established. She confirmed that there are a large number of houses north of 8th St., which is where they are recommend- ing the line be drawn. The roads are dirt roads, and there are four houses already in the subject property, but Ms. Johnson felt the character of this area is established. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. Wo
