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.
