The proposed project shall be <br />primarily for commercial uses permitted per Section 106-441, Table A, of <br />the Code of Ordinances. <br /> <br />Access Management & Layout: Spencer Highway, a 100' right-of-way, is <br />a primary arterial! access highway. Since traffic movement is the primary <br />function of this arterial roadway, access management is essential. Staff and <br />the developer need to work on restricting the driveway access of all <br />commercial lots that front on Spencer Highway. Therefore, a shared <br />access easement is necessary for lots 5 and 6 along Spencer Highway. In <br />addition, staff suggests limited access driveway techniques should be <br />applied utilizing the existing access driveway by Underwood Plaza and the <br />restaurant along Spencer Highway adjacent to Walgreens. <br /> <br />Sidewalks - Section 5.02 of the Development Ordinance addresses the <br />need for sidewalks, where required by the Comprehensive Plan or by the <br />Commission. For recent developments in this area, the Commission chose <br />to require sidewalks. In keeping with this standard, staff recommends a <br />sidewalk requirement for this replat. <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br /> <br />Staff finds the requested replat of Part of Lot 10, Block 2, W. J. Payne <br />Subdivision, satisfies applicable provisions of State Law and City <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval with the condition that the plat not be released <br />for recordation until the following items have been satisfied: <br /> <br />· Sidewalks shall be included with the development of lots 5 and 6. <br />· Secure a joint driveway/access easement to serve the lots along Spencer <br />Highway. <br />
