Mr. Spilotros stated there were no plans for a laundromat in the center. Commissioner Bird asked if it is our recommendation to not allow access from Kings Highway until the improvements are done, and Director Davis noted that from a safety standpoint, we do not want to mix through traffic with construction and project traffic. Vice Chairman Scurlock felt that the basic question is how safe a situation can we create and at what point does it become unsafe - is it 50,000 sq. ft. for Public and Walgreens or almost 70,000 square feet or is it the whole shopping center. He did not feel he had the expertise to make that decision. Mr. Spilotros pointed out that square footage numbers are very deceptive and he would prefer to address it on a unit basis. They have essentially 8 tenants - 2 major ones. If you look at square footage, you say the center is 60% occupied, but they have 47 local units out there and only 6 leased. Commissioner Bird felt any number we might try to attach, we are just pulling out of the air, and he felt that we should go with the recommendation of staff and enter into an agreement with the developer along those lines and not try to limit it at this point to X -Y -Z tenants, as he doubted they would be overwhelmed with tenants, but the Vice Chairman also did not feel that they would have the road improvements within eight months. Director Keating pointed out that if the developer put their approved improvements in now, the County only would have to come in within a year or so and tear this up to put in the other improvements when the center was all leased and occupied. Director Davis did not think that would occur within a year as currently the traffic count on Kings Highway is at half capacity, and when the entire shopping center was occupied, it would attract 4,000 trips putting Kings Highway at traffic level licit.
