Soot 68 Fvcr 7 level -of -service "A". Kings Highway currently carries 5,100 AADT at level -of -service "A". This additional traffic would not lower the level -of -service on State Road 60 or Kings Highway. Moreover, Kings Highway is scheduled to be rebuilt as a four -lane divided road with left turn lanes during 1987 which will improve traffic conditions in this area. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the staff to transmit this Comprehensive Plan amendment request to the State for review. Commissioner Bowman asked what assurance we have that the 350' buffer will stay there, and Chief Planner Shearer noted that it is zoned multiple family now, and in order to change that to commercial, the Board would have to amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone the property. Discussion ensued regarding the proposed road alignment, and Planner Shearer pointed out that the commercial zoning is south of Ryanwood's entrance on the west side. The alignment is about 750' north of SR60 which provides a good distance. On the west side of King's Highway the commercial zoning only goes back 600' whereas on the east side it goes back 114 mile. Originally, two years ago, they proposed going back all the way to the residen- tial area, but they withdrew that request and now are proposing to go back 150' to align their entranceway with the road that goes into Ryanwood. Commissioner Eggert asked if a light would be put there, and Planner Shearer stated that would be a possibility if traffic warranted it, but it is not warranted now. In staff's analysis and based on the fact the King's Highway is being improved,.both King's Highway and SR60 would be able to maintain level of Service "A". 70 1
