Access points were discussed and it was concluded that the separation between “A” Street and access point A could be between 300 to 400 feet, but not less than 300 feet. Sarah Milburn questioned the alignment of “B” Street with Clearview Drive. She questioned notification of the residents living on Clearview Dr. She was informed that all residents living with 200 feet of the property were notified by letter, and a notification signs were posted on all street frontages. Ms. Milburn asked why the streets had to be aligned. David Munk responded that the alignment would make for a smoother flow of traffic, it would create the needed connectivity and car lights would not shine into the windows of the residents on the corners of CR116 and Clearview Drive. John Wall, adjacent property owner was asked to address the Commission regarding the notification. He had received his letter and exhibit and showed it to the Commission. The exhibit sent to surrounding property owners did not depict the connection from “B” Street to Clearview Drive. Staff explained that the exhibit is taken from the initial submittal provided by the applicant with the application. The exhibits do sometimes change between application and Planning and Zoning Commission based on staff recommendations and discussions with the applicant. Extensive discussion followed.
