Rivera Subdivision has two <br />streets of residential, and people bought there in good faith <br />that it was residentially planned back in 1959. Mrs. Almond <br />noted that the front section this parcel adjoins is comae-rcial, <br />and it can stay that way and be used for a strip shopping center. <br />She then stressed the traffic problems and stated the residents <br />take their lives in their hands whenever they try to turn across <br />Kings Highway to enter 23rd St.; in fact, sometimes they have to <br />overshoot and go to 24th Street to avoid being rear-ended. She <br />felt to make another driveway directly opposite Ryanwood's <br />entrance is ridiculous. Next Burger King will want access into <br />Kings Highway, and the bank, too, wants more access. There are <br />86 homes in their subdivision and children wait on that corner <br />for the bus, and that is exactly where the street narrows down. <br />Actually, there are only 11 stores occupied in Ryanwood, and two <br />stores have closed since Ryanwood opened; so, Mrs. Almond did not <br />see the need for more stores and more traffic in this location. <br />Barbara Bonnah, 5845 23rd St., noted that the residents of <br />Rivera Subdivision are back before the Board once again, but at <br />least this time they aren't following The Promenade hearing as <br />they did before when the Board had heard all the same arguments <br />at great length. Mrs. Bonnah, noted that, as the Board knows, <br />she works here and week after week hears the requests for more <br />development; out-of-town developers build these projects and then <br />exit and leave these white elephants behind. She believed it can <br />be clearly seen how development on just one corner of the inter- <br />section of SR -60 and Kings Highway has impacted that entire <br />intersection. She asked Planning Director Keating if any site <br />plan applications have been submitted for the southwest corner of <br />the intersection which is already zoned commercial. <br />Director Keating advised that, to his knowledge, no site <br />plans are on board at this time. They have had several pre - <br />application conferences with people, but no actual site plans <br />26 <br />
