The northern end of the property abuts 5th Lane, S.W. which goes through Dixie Gardens, Unit 3. Proper planning principles dictate that the tra.ific generated by this project should not be allowed to traverse along 5th Lane, S.W. into the Dixie Gardens Subdivision. The same objections also apply to using 7th Lane, S.W. through Dixie Gardens, Unit 2. Currently, 5th Street, S.W. is designated as a secondary collector to Old Dixie Highway. Upon phased development by the applicant, access to 5th Street, S.W. should be established by the developer while closing off 5th Lane, S.W. to through traffic. The maximum density established by the proposed rezoning would generate 1480 average daily trips and 175 peak hour trips. This level of traffic is not expected to have an adverse impact on the surrounding area provided that the primary access is through the existing access road to Oslo Road and that secondary access be provided to 5th Street, S.W. Environment: The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive in the Comprehensive Plan,`nor is it designated as flood prone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) map. Utilities: County water services are available to the property. Upon site plan approval, the developer would be required to hook up to the County system. County sewer services -are not available. The site plan for the Timber Ridge Center depicts a 2.39 acre site reserved for a wastewater treatment plant; however, future wastewater facilities for the overall project shall be reviewed upon submittal of a site plan for the residential portion of the project. Prior to further site plan approvals of the project, the applicant will be required to obtain a wastewater utilities franchise from the County and plans approved by the County Utilities Division. RECOMMENDATION: F Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends approval. APPROVED AGaMA ITEM: ATTARS: FOR: 1) Application BY: 2) Location Map 3) Site plan for Timber Ridge Center, approved 6/25/81. 4) P&Z minutes of 4/14/83. Mr. Challacombe stated that in analyzing densities, staff came up with an average of 4.5 units per acre for the existing residential in the area which is all built on 70' x 100' lots. The requested density is slightly higher, a little over 5, but staff felt that through the site plan process and use of the heavily wooded area, there would be adequate buffering. There was a concern about access, and staff opposed strongly any connection to the single family area to the north; primary access is planned through Timber Ridge to Oslo Road. Mr. Challacombe stated that staff further felt that Timber Ridge would serve as a transition and buffer area between the existing residences and the commercial area and believed it will be an upgrading of the area. 47 MAY 1 i9�3 -K U3 ��c `1 7
