use proposed for the site will not be compatible with the agricultural use or the residential use. The agricultural area is entirely zoned I -P, Industrial Park, and all of the land will be utilized for an industrial park in the future. The access to Gardner Brothers property will be on -site off of County Road D, which runs along the western edge of the agricultural land. There is no access to the agricultural land off of County Road D, except at Labore Road, and therefore the increased traffic the office and office /warehouse will generate is not anticipated to hinder the farming operation and activities on the land south of the site. Desoto Street serves as the dividing line between the Gardner Brothers proposed site and a large R -1, Single - Family District to the east. The street, as well as the deep residential lots on the east side of Desoto Street, help lessen the impact on the single - family residential area by the industrial park uses that will be located across the street. Desoto Street also helps prevent through traffic from penetrating the residential area to the east, by providing the needed eastern access for the I -P zone. The site should be heavily landscaped on the eastern edge, with over -story trees, as well as shrubs and other shorter plantings to provide maximum screening for the benefit of the residential zone to the east of the site. There are no land uses across County Road D from the site. The site has visual exposure directly north /northwest to Interstate 35E. Roadway and Building Shifts: No problems will be created by shifting the roadway to the eastern property line, and the future building to the west. A 40 foot distance must be maintained between the new driveway access and the Desoto Street right -of -way. The future building will be required to meet all setbacks established in I -P, Industrial Park zones. The distance between the driveway on Lot 1 and the new proposed location of the driveway on Lot 3 is 450 feet. The additional distance between the two driveways will help reduce possible traffic congestion and confusion, especially during peak traffic hours by increasing the distance between vehicles entering and exiting the two accesses, when the entire development is completed. The proposed landscaping must be maintained at the required twenty -five (25) percent minimum lot area dedicated to landscaped green area. The plantings will have to be shifted to the west to accommodate the new driveway location. A revised landscape plan must be submitted for City Staff review. Page 59
