EP 7 1983 .514 of 1600 square feet. The lots on the subject property are in the 11,000 to 13,000 square foot range, making it difficult in some cases to meet the setback requirements of the R-lAA district while constructing a house having at least 1600 square feet of floor area. However, no other zoning district is appropriate under the LD -1 land use designation. The lots could be developed under the R-lAA zoning but may require variances on the size of houses or on setbacks. Roads/Traffic The subject property is located one block from U.S.1, and most trips are expected to use this arterial street. Development of the property would generate 61 average daily trips and six peak hour trips. These additional trips will have relatively little impact on this section of U.S. Highway l.which carries 10,000 daily trips at Level of Service "A". Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. There do not appear to be any environmental problems associated with the development of the property for residential uses. Utilities The subject property is not currently served by County water nor wastewater facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the above analysis including the fact that the R-lAA zoning district regulations most closely conform to the .LD -1 land use designation, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. Commissioner Lyons was glad to see the more restricted residential zoning but wished to know whether there might be a problem getting a variance for this use. Planning Manager Keating did not anticipate that there would be any problems getting a variance. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unani- mously adopted Ordinance 83-27 rezoning the advertised property from C-1 to R-lAA as requested by the Wagners.
