(See Exhibit A) <br /> <br />General Commercial (GC) <br /> <br />Mr. C.L. Poteet, Property Owner <br /> <br />To allow construction of a second West "A" Street driveway entrance onto the <br />property in question. <br /> <br />The property in question is located at the corner of West "A" Street and the <br />northbound Hwy. 146 feeder. The tract is comprised of four 25' x 125' lots. <br />The 125 foot face of the property parallels West "A" Street. <br /> <br />Exhibit A illustrates the location of the building and the configuration of the <br />parking arrangement currently in place. The two driveways that are not <br />highlighted are the drives that were installed when the property was first <br />developed. This driveway arrangement has not proven to be workable. <br /> <br />In order to exit the property from either of these entrances, it is necessary for <br />a vehicle to either perform an awkward turnaround or exit against the flow <br />of parking lot traffic. As a result, business customers were routinely exiting <br />the property by driving off the lot, across the grass and onto "A" Street. The <br />drainage swale adjacent to "A" is very gentle and shallow and does not present <br />an obstacle to most vehicles. <br /> <br />After a period of time, the applicant asp halted a 17' wide strip of what had <br />become a defacto driveway. The asphalt drive occupies a portion of the space <br />highlighted and identified as "proposed driveway" on Exhibit A. <br />
