Assistant Co~nmunity Development Director Frolik noted if the grading and drainage plan requires removal of' the trees, the developer may not be able to keep them. Mrs. Perry stated it is disturbing to her that there can be single-family homes and multi-family homcs so close together. She indicated if she had wanted to live in a townhome community she would have done so. Vice Chairperson Van Scoy stated that density transitioning is always a consideration of the t'lam]ing (:ommission, and they also prefer a natural buffer. Mr. l)ccmcr indicated he would never intend to take down trees, but he cannot speak for the person who may buy the property. He stated that concerning access, it was always the intent to have thc turn-o£f in this location. He indicated the access to Lord of Life church was designed to line up with his access. He stated that on the traffic issues, if he puts his business back on the property because he cannot make it feasible to sell it for residential, he would be adding twenty to Ibrty trips per day. lte indicated that right now, with only him, he makes about a dozen trips a clay. I lc stated he thinks residential would be better for traffic than a business use. Vice Chairperson Van Scoy asked what zoning are on the adjoining properties. Assistant Colnmunity Development Director Frolik indicated the properties to the north and soulh are also zoned R-2. Vice Chairperson Van Scoy asked is Staff has looked at access, and the potential of three parcels having access off a County road. Assistant Com~nt,nity Development Director Frolik stated Staff felt that if the parcel to the south would develop there would be shared access with the Deemer property. She indicated the church that owns the property to the north has an existing access, but she is not sure what would happen it' all lhre¢ developed. She stated that would be up to the County. Vice Chairperson Van Scoy asked if the County could take back the existing access. Board Member Johnson indicated he is not sure if the County would grant the needed access, but that would be a consideration for site plan review. Vice Chairperson Van Scoy stated his point is if the County were to do any improvement on CSAII 5 they would likely put a turn lane in the middle of the road, which would use up the caselnollt ill'ca.
