along Oakdale, which we're going to ask for that same amount again, and to verify that it actually has been done. If the Board were to approve the Special Use Permit, it would only last for one year. If the Credit Union has not started any construction within one year, it would expire. And that has to do mainly with our zoning. The actual recommendation by Staff is the Zoning Officer's recommendation. And we have not found anything in our investigation to indicate that this is not a reasonable good use in that particular area. And if the County Commissioners and the Planning Board make any recommendation, and could see that the deviations were reasonable, they could recommend the site plan with a couple of conditions that we felt at the staff level would be an addition for safety purposes. We're staying with the same ones that were on the previous plan. The access that DOT is saying needs to be eliminated, we're staying with that. We agree with the DOT since it is their road. Also, in reference to the northern driveway, Staff is recommending that it be converted to a right-in- right-out at this time. DOT's recommendation was to do it at a later date when the crass-section for Hwy 86 was improved. They are calling for that to be a 100-foot right-of-way, 16- and 14-foot travel lanes with sidewalks, and a 25-foot median, which takes you to a 100-foot cross-section. And the Credit Union is saying, when that happens, and where they're thinking roughly 2010, maybe, then that would become aright-in-right-out. So, we're actually saying maybe it might be best to get used to that now. That's one of the staff conditions. There's also, for interconnectivity purposes, along the front with the undeveloped area, with the house to the south should that property develop, to allow access between these fins tracts, and that potentially, if that next tract develops, you could have the Millstone Driveway line up into this side of the road, which would allow properties up here to come out at potentially a lighted intersection for safety purposes. In no event would we recommend the southern driveway as they propose. We also have a traffic study that was updated. The Credit Union has a presentation on the traffic patterns. We have the 1997 traffic impact study, and then there was aone-page update on that that shows the amount of traffic and how much drive-through traffic that they have at certain times of the year. We will look at the site plan now. The Credit Union is proposing some underground storage of their storm water. As you all know, there is an over ground storage area next to Oakdale Road, that has a chain link fence around it with a brown tarp. That would stay in place to handle the existing drainage an the existing site. For the new addition, they are proposing an underground drainage storage tank that would discharge at a rate that would not provide any storm water problems. That would be located roughly underneath [Mr. Davis refers to map], the parking area, next to teller station. They had looked into doing underground storage a few years back on this but nothing ever came of that. But there were a couple of people that did inquire about the potential of doing that. It would have required that some of the trees be removed up in the front portion of the site so you would have to build it at another location. You could not tear this one up until you got the other one in place. So, you would end up with same trees gone. So they more ar less dropped that. That completes the staff's report. I'd be glad to answer any of your questions now ar later Hunter Schofield: Questions for staff by members of the Commission? Commissioner Jacobs: I'll wait until after we hear the other presentation.
