by our tenant that can accommodate a density such as we propose. Coordination with Other Plan Elements Our proposal contemplates creation of a cul-de-sac entirely with our project and approximately 275 feet north of County Road I for Eastwood Road. We propose to construct the cul-de-sac in such a fashion that emergency vehicle(only) access from Highway 10 to Eastwood Road through the cul- de-sac would be maintained. Pedestrian access to the development from the Eastwood Road neighborhood would also be maintained. Additionally,we would agree,as part of the change in the Comprehensive Plan,to continue a sidewalk,at our expense,from Greenwood Road to the site. This would allow for pedestrian access in this location where presently none exists. Effects on Abutting Property Owners This proposal admittedly affects the adjacent property owners. The adjacent property owners include a contemplated multi-family residential project to the north,and five single-family residential parcels to the north and east. As mentioned earlier in this written statement, the low level of density contemplated by this development allows for a substantial buffer between the abutting properties and the proposed development. We have generated site plans that show this buffer to be anywhere from 50-80 feet from the edge of the pavement to the property line. Additionally, our proposal contemplates utilizing such buffering materials as residential style cedar fencing adjacent to the single-family homes,berms,and a mixture of deciduous and coniferous plantings. We will also keep as many of the existing nature planting, as possible in the buffer-areas. : We have met with each of the adjacent single-family residential property owners. Overwhelmingly, 'their concerns are the impacts of traffic, drainage and value. We believe we can minimize the impact of traffic generated noise,headlight sweeps and so-on by the buffer materials mentioned above. Additionally, we can arrange to have truck deliveries occur during normal business hours only. Typically our client has only one semi-truck type delivery per week. The balance are local delivery trucks. -3-
