• "The third vacant site on the southwest side of Highway 10 is found on the southeast <br /> side of the TJB Homebuilders property. We have been told this site does have <br /> buildable soils, and a portion of the wetland area could be used as green space and • <br /> setback area for any development of this small parcel. However, the uses of this site <br /> are limited because of its smaller size. While many traffic-intensive commercial sites <br /> (such as a fast food restaurant or a gas station) do not need a very large structure, <br /> other site requirements such as parking or drive-through facilities dictate the need for <br /> a larger site size than this parcel offers. As a result, this small site is best suited for a <br /> smaller office building like the TJB Homebuilders structure next door, or a light auto <br /> repair facility that creates much less traffic and requires much less parking. Access to <br /> this parcel is also an issue, and it would most likely have to come directly off <br /> Highway 10 from the southbound lanes only. <br /> • "Looking at the vacant land on the north side of Highway 10, in the northwest corner <br /> of this thoroughfare and Eastwood Road, it is clear this site cannot be used for any <br /> business that relies on turning over a high volume of traffic. Although it is highly <br /> visible from Highway 10, its access is very limited and may even be very circuitous <br /> once all of the redevelopment of the area is done. Thus, this parcel has to be <br /> destination-oriented in nature. Furthermore, most of the surrounding property is <br /> residential--both low-density and higher-density--so their presence may also have a <br /> limiting affect on the types of uses that could realistically go on this parcel. For this <br /> reason, its highest and best use is believed to be residential in nature; most likely <br /> being of a more medium-density type of facility such as townhomes or quadhomes. <br /> • <br /> There is a possibility of developing a destination-oriented business that generates <br /> little traffic, but a zoning change is needed, and the access points would also have to <br /> be addressed. <br /> Issues. Opportunities and Constraints <br /> Preparation of the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan required careful consideration of a <br /> broad range of issues, opportunities and constraints present within the study area. <br /> Furthermore, the ultimate success of the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan rests in the <br /> effective implementation of a set of goals and objectives that evolved out of an analysis <br /> of these issues and opportunities. This analysis of the various systems affecting the <br /> corridor served as the groundwork for the balance of this planning study. <br /> The table provided on the following pages summarizes the issues, opportunities and <br /> constraints that were identified for each parcel within Section 9. The final portion of the <br /> table reflects issues, opportunities and constraints that are present or of general concern <br /> from an area-wide perspective (i.e., all of Section 9). A property map is included on page <br /> _to assist with parcel identification. <br /> 8 <br />
