e e Preliminary Zoning Page 12 AREA III (See Exhibit E) Area III encompasses The Pine Bluff, Bayside Terrace and Bay Oaks Subdivisions as well as three Apartment/townhome complexes, approximately fourteen commercial establishments, the Bayshore Elementary school and the private Beacon School. Street & Thoroughfares: Area III is primarily served by South Broadway (secondary arterial). While Broadway provides adequate access to and from Area II I, there are problems wi th inter ior subd i vis ion streets in th i s area. Al though these problems are not limited to Bays ide Terrace, they can be clearly seen in this subdivision, making it an excellent example. Bayside Terrace is a 285 lot subdivision Hhich, at present, is approximately 70% built out. Bayside Drive provides the only access to the subdiv ision at this time. All the north/south streets in Bayside Terrace are platted as forty foot wide rights of way. The actual surfaced width of a typical street often does not exceed twelve to sixteen feet with the remainder of the right of way being devoted to drainage ditches and utilities. Several homes in the older portion of the subdivision are located very close to the right of way line. Widening these streets in a safe and effective manner would involve careful and extensive engineering as well as a very large capital outlay by the City.
