September 26, 1979 (BS)
CASE NUMBER: 79S151
APPLICANT: REALTY INDUSTRIES, INC.
REQUEST: Rezoning from Community Business (B-2) and Agricultural
(A) to Residential (R-7) plus a conditional use for multi-family
development.
GENERAL LOCATION: Bermuda Magisterial District; property fronts
on the west line of Jefferson Davis Highway and is located 1700
feet nort.h of its intersection with Indian Hill Road. Tax Map
149-3 (1) Parcel 2 (Sheet 41).
SUBJECT PARCEL: 9.46 acres; zoned Community Business (B-2) and
Agricultural (A', vacant.
ADJACENT PROPERTY: Zoned Residential (R-7), General Business (B-3),
General Industrial (M-2), and Agricultural (A), Multi-family
Residential use (under development) ,Commercial use or vacant.
UTILITIES, SOILS, DRAINAGE AND EROSION, EASEMENTS: Public water
and sewer are available. There is an 8 inch water line located
on site.
Property is located in the Ashton Creek Sewage Draingage area.
A trunk line is located on site.
Soils are gently sloping to moderately steep. Soils are comprised
of yellow red clay and stratified clay sand types which character-
istically are subject to severe wetness and to severe erosion
hazards when cleared. Recreation areas as shown on the preliminary
site plan will be subject to frequent flooding. Storm water manage-
ment will be very difficult to provide.
This property lies in Ashton Creek drainage area. Phase I of this
project, which has been rezoned and is presently undergoing
construction, is now experiencing problems with erosion and sed-
iment runoff. Increased runoff from this project combined with
Phase I runoff may present serious problems downstream along
Ashton Creek.
PUBLIC FACILITIES: Based on the estimated 1977 average of 0.90
public students per dwellirgunit. approximately 98 students would
be generated by this request. The proposed development is
located in the Harrowgate Elementary School attendance zone which
has a capacity of 750 and an existing enrollment of 592; in the
Carver Junior High School Attendance zone which has a capacity of
5QO and an existing enrollment of 514; and in the Thomas Dale
High School Attendance zone which has a capacity of 1400 and an
-
-
existing enrollment of 1468. This development will have a
minimal impact on the public school system.
This development will be served by Chester Fire Station,
Company Number One. Fire service capability at this time is
good.
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: The proposed development will generate
approximately 810 ADT. The number of units proposed (108) requires
a second public road access be provided. Upon approval of phase
I, the Commission and Board required construction of a divided
median entrance from Jefferson Davis Highway into the project;
thereby providing sufficient pavement for a second access. In
order, however to provide for adequate internal traffic circu-
lation, especially for emergency vehicles, a loop driveway
through the second phase connecting to the major entrance from
Jefferson Davis Highway should be constructed.
Upon approval for construction of Phase I, the developers were
required to provide a sixty (60) foot crossover and a 400 foot
left turn lane with 250 feet of storage space along Jefferson
Davis Highway.
Staff's review of the Phase II request indicates that in addition
to the improvements already required, acceleration and decleration
lanes should be provided along Jefferson Davis Highway.
LAND ASSESSMENTS: 1979 appraised value - $47,700.
GENERAL PLAN: Single family residential use.
DISCUSSION: This is the second phase of Bermuda Run Apartments,
the first phase of which has been rezoned and is currently under
construction. Given this fact, Staff feels that it would best
serve the County's interest to consider Phase I along with this
request to incorporate sound planning into this development.
Properties west and south of the subject parcel are zoned Agricultural
(A), property to the north is zoned General Business and property to
the east is zoned General Industrial. With the exception of the
General Business property, adjacent properties are primarily vacant
and wooded. Staff believes there is a good potential for single
family residential development in the agricultural areas. Given
that the subject parcel is buffered from the business property by
the Seaboard Coastline Railroad tracks and is buffered from the
industrial property by Route 301, and that adjoining property has
potential for residential development, Staff feels this request will
be compatible with adjacent land uses. Appropriate conditions in-
suring future land use compatibility s4ould, however, be imposed.
