#R 06-002 P&Z 9/21/06 Page 3 of 4 Conclusion! Recommendations: property is landlocked and has no street access. The only access is from the adjoining properties to the North. Access from North P Street could be provided via bridge constructed over the drainage ditch. Feasible development of this tract is only through north properties along State Highway 225. Traffic circulation and parking will be reviewed with the site development plans submittal. Since trucking movement is the primary function of this facility, internal roadway and parking shall be designed and constructed in conformance with the City Standards. Utilities - Public facilities and services are sufficient to handle the supply of potable water and fire protection along State Highway 225. Provisions will have to be made to ensure that all on-site infrastructure or improvements can accommodate the water and sanitary sewer needs of this development. The storm water drainage issue will be reviewed with the site development plans. There is an existing 40'wide drainage easement for the F101 drainage Channel that is planned to be expanded to 140' wide. Dedication of additional drainage easement shall be required through a separate instrument or platting. Development Strategy - The highest use analysis presented by the applicant reveals that the subject site would be better served by the proposed use, which would blend into an existing use of property to the north and east of this tract.

Development within the subject tract should not negatively impact the surrounding properties nor harm the value of nearby properties.
