4. Consider approval of a Preliminary Plat for the Bayside Crossing subdivision; a single family
residential development consisting of 73 lots on 17.2135 acres located north and west of the
intersection of Spencer Highway and Sens Road (Applicant: Beazer Homes).
City Planner Eric Ensey presented the staff report on the Preliminary Plat for Bayside Crossing, a
17.2135-acre, 73 lot subdivision located north and west of Sens Road and Spencer Highway.
Commissioner Warren was concerned about the traffic impact analysis that was conducted by
Cobb, Fendley, & Associates for the development; in particular, the 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. peak hours
that were used. Commissioner Warren has routinely traveled the area in question and has
witnessed heavy vehicular traffic, including school buses, prior to 6:00 a.m.
Albert Syzdek, with Cobb, Fendley, & Associates, explained the industry standard is 6:00 to 9:00
a.m.
Paul Groman, with Gromax Development, explained how the traffic impacts from such a small
development would be minimal to none, especially given the upcoming roadway improvements
slated for Sens Rd.
