Chairman Lebo opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to speak were: D. U. Tutt, 4800 Bedford Road, objected to an opening on Bedford Road as traffic is already heavy and travels at a speed faster than the speed limit. There have been several accidents at the Glade Rd. and Bedford Road intersection. People do not always observe the stop sign at the current curve on Village Park at Glade Road. Mr. Tutt would like a study of traffic on Bedford Road. He had questions about fencing along his property and he would be opposed to retail uses in the proposed office buildings as this would increase traffic. Steve Harriman, 1307 Crest Drive, representing the owner, wants approval of the zoning change and a variance on tree mitigation. Barbara Eudaly Redding, 909 Glade Road spoke in favor of saving big trees. She had questions about the property between the existing drainage ditch and her property. She would like the trees saved next to her fence on the east side of her property as it helps reduce the noise level around her property. She is in favor of the office buildings having a residential look. Axel Holland, 1100 Jo Carol Lane, spoke and fully agrees with the comments of the two residents who spoke earlier. He is in favor of the design standards for the office buildings and is opposed to retail uses because of the increase in traffic through the property. He has concerns about Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - March 25, 1996 Page 2 of 3 traffic in the area because typically vehicles travel at 40 to 50 m.p.h. on Bedford Road and another entrance onto Bedford Road would aggravate the problem. There have been several accidents in the area and children wait for the school bus on Bedford Road. Mr. Holland would like traffic and environmental studies done on the property. There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. The Commission discussed the tree mitigation plan and the proposed fencing of the development. Staff advised that a six foot masonry fence was proposed along the Tutt property. The Commission questioned the future commercial uses of the property and had concerns about retail uses. Staff proposed that the Commission may want to consider a motion to table the request so that Staff, the applicant and the economic development director could meet to address the concerns about proposed commercial uses in the development.

Lot Survey, Abstract 963, Tract 1 C, Case Z-96-055, OWNER/APPLICANT: Diane S. Maurer, Etal (North side of Tinker Road) Staff presented the case to the Commission. Chairman Lebo opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to speak were: Susan Scott, 6500 Caldwell Hughs Road, had questions about future development about property and had concerns about a street being built along the western edge of the property which would abut her property. She requested an explanation about why the larger portion of the property could not be left as "AG". Doug Henderson explained that 80% of all lots need to be at street frontage to prevent "flag lots" and AG zoning does not meet this requirement, but R20 does. Lynette Stowe, 1304 Tinker Road, had questions about the construction of a potential roadway along her property. There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
