ENVIRONMENT AL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the east and then via tributaries to Swift Creek:. There are
currently no lmown on- or off-site drainage or erosion problems and none are anticipated.
Water Quality:
The pump station is located adjacent to a stream that is perennial and, as such, is subject to a
100 foot conservation area. The pump station should be located such to minimize any
encroachment into the RP A.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
This request will have minimal or no impact on these facilities.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Central Area Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 1.0 - 2.5 dwelling units per acre. Further, the Public
Facilities Plan, a component of the Comprehensive Plan, recommends utility system
expansion to include wastewater pump stations.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Residential (R-15) and Agricultural (A) and are occupied
by single family residential uses or are vacant. The subject property is part of the proposed
Colony Pointe Subdivision. It is anticipated that residential use will continue in the area as
recommended by the Plan.
Development Standards:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Area. The purpose of the Emerging
Growth District standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects. However,
because the property is zoned Residential (R-15), development is not required to meet the
development standards for Emerging Growth Areas. A condition should be imposed to
require compliance with Emerging Growth Area requirements relative to architectural
treatment of any building. (Condition)
