December 10, 1975 (B.S.) CASE NUMBER: 75S208 APPLICANT: Mr. Samuel Barker REQUEST AND PROPOSED USE: The rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Resi- dential (R-7). The development of the parcel for single family residential use. GENERAL LOCATION, TAX MAP INFORMATION: The parcel in question fronts the south line of Old Hundred Road (Route 618) west of the intersec- tion of Old Hundred Road and Lawing Drive. ACREAGE, EXISTING ZONING, AND EXISTING LAND USE (SUBJECT PARCEL): The parcel contains 16.29 acres, is presently zoned Agricultural (A) and remains vacant and wooded. ADJACENT AND AREA ZONING AND LAND USE: Although the majority of adjacent property to the south,west and east remains zoned Agricultural (A), property to the north is zoned General Industrial (M-2). While con- siderable industrial zoning although not directly adjacent to the parcel in question, is predominent to the north,west and east, the majority of the property in this area has not been developed and remains. for the most part, vacant and wooded with the exception of individual parcels occupied by single family dwellings. UTILITIES, SOIL PROFILE, DRAINAGE AND EROSION, REQUIRED OFF-SITE EASEMENTS: The use of public water is feasible and would be required in this development; however, the closest public sewer is at Ashton Creek and Route 1 and its use would not be feasible in this development. The parcel drains towards Ashton Creek and it is noted that an off-site drainage easement would be required in the development of this parcel. PUBLIC FACILITIES: Development of the parcel in question for the proposed use should exercise no particular problem relative to either existing. or future area public facilities. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: Good site distance is present along Old Hundred Road in the vicinity of the request parcel. In the course of development of the parcel, dedication along Old Hundred Road will be required. GENERAL PLAN: Vacant/agricultural use for the area encompassing the parcel in question. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: An important consideration in the review of this request, is compatibility of land use. Since General. Industrial zoning was approved for the parcel adjacent to the north., the appropriateness of residential development on the subject parcel is questionable. The success of orderly development of residential neighborhoods under such a situation is difficult to achieve. In addition, since public sewer is not available for development of the parcel, the requested R-7 rezoning is inappropriate. Single family subdivision of the parcel utilizing one (1) utility would require a minimum lot size of 11,000 sq. ft. (over)
