These <br />have been submitted for this project but due to the scope of this <br />project, several issues need to be addressed. Staff compared the <br />following components of the Comprehensive Plan with the General <br />Plan that was submitted. <br />Land Use: Proposed uses as shown are similar to the Land Use <br />Map. The Zoning Ordinance requires all uses and zones to be <br />clearly identified for each phase of the project. <br />Open Space: Open space was shown on the General Plan. The <br />landscape/buffer area may need to be increased since a pipeline <br />corridor occupies a part of the proposed buffer. A landscape/buffer <br />area may be in order for the east side of Powell Rd. Building lines <br />may need to be increased from what is shown. Consideration <br />should be given to have developer dedicate land area needed for <br />proper drainage/detentioNopen space. <br />Thoroughfare Plan: The extension of Wharton Weems Rd. <br />complies with the Comprehensive Plan. As part of the initial phase, <br />consider construction of Powell Rd. and extension of Wharton <br />Weems Rd. Request the developer provide estimates for <br />increased truck and rail traffic on a per phase basis. Limit number <br />of driveway entrances off Hwy. 146 South (can be handled through <br />covenants). Request the developer participate in preparation of <br />
