GENERAL INFORMATION
Location:
East line of Warbro Road, approximately
1,480 feet south of Genito Road. Tax Map
48-3 (1) Part of Parcel 6 (Sheet 13).
Existin~ Zoning:
A
Size:
1.7 acres
Existing Land Use:
Vacant
Adjacent Zoning & Land Use:
North - A with Conditional Use to permit
mini-warehouses; Vacant
South - A; Vacant
East - A; Vacant

Area Landfill)
Utilities:
Public water and sewer not available.
Prior to obtaining any building permits or
preparing final site plans, developer
should contact Health Department to obtain
approval for installation of private septic
tank and well. Soil suitability for septic
tank and drainfield is poor.
Environmental Engineering:
Terrain gently sloping and, when cleared,
has slight chance for erosion. Majority of
soils are poorly drained.
A swale runs across the site which is lower
than, and parallel to, Warbro Road. Storm
drainage is conveyed down the swale and

across adjacent properties before it enters
tributary of Nuttree Creek. Downstream
drainage channels may be inadequate to
handle runoff from development. May be
necessary to acquire off-site easements for
drainage improvements. Concrete curb and
gutter should be installed around perimeter
of driveways and parking areas. (Condition
5)
Fire Service:
Wagstaff Fire Station, Company #10. At
present, fire service capability adequate.
Public water for fire protection not
available.
General Plan:

Light industrial
Transportation:
Traffic movements will be distributed along
Warbro Road, which is a County maintained
right of way. Warbro Road is in poor
condition. Truck traffic is prohibited
along this portion of Warbro Road. If the
Board approves this request, the previous
resolution prohibiting truck traffic should
be rescinded (Condition 8). Increased
traffic along this road will result in
increased maintenance costs. There are no
funds appropriated to bring this road into
the State system or to maintain the road.
Development should not occur until Warbro
Road is constructed to State standards and
inspection approved for State acceptance.
(Condition 6)
Sight distance north of the proposed en-
trance/exit may not be adequate. Right of
way must be dedicated in accordance with
the Powhite/288 Plan. (Condition 7)
DISCUSSION
A Conditional Use is requested to permit the operation of a contractor's
office and storage yard. L&B Burkett, Inc., the contract purchaser, is a
concrete contractor and plans to erect an office, shop and storage area
for concrete forms on the request parcel. (Condition 3)
Although property to the north is currently vacant, the Board of Supervi-
sors, in 1984, approved a Conditional Use to allow mini-warehouses devel-
opment on that property. Property to the west is occupied by the North-
ern Area Landfill.
