DRAFT JOINT PUBLIC HEARING PAGE 8 indicated on a map that there are areas surround- ing this property that are zoned GC-4 (General Commercial-4) near the intersection of US 70 and 1-85 . This is the only tract on the south side of the access for US 70 which is not zoned GC-4. i� r-1_ Embree continued that Turner has submitted an ;: ..r. Erosion Control Plan which has been approved and has also submitted a site plan which shows the seeding of the property and the planting of trees. Mr. Embree noted that Mr. Turner had responded to all the regulations as he was informed and encour- aged the straight rezoning of the property. Lloyd inquired why, with the problem of discharge solved, did Planning Staff not go back to its original recommendation of straight rezoning. Collins responded that the size of the tract and the potential for development and traffic gener- ation were concerns of staff. Collins continued that the letter from DEM added to the concerns for potential for impacts with the development of the site, particularly if the major part is to be developed for the paving company. Yuhasz inquired if the traffic impacts from this property would be any greater than that from the adjoining properties currently zoned GC-4. Collins responded that they may be lesser than or greater than but there is little that can be done about those tracts already zoned GC-4. Pilkey inquired about the 50' buffer. Embree responded that a landscaping plan has been submit- ted and approval has been given. Most of the area will be re-seeded and trees planted according to the landscaping plan. He noted that the planting will be done when it rains. Margison inquired about drainage fields. Embree responded that the existing system has been approved by the Orange County Health Department. He continued that no activity could take place on the tract until such time as the retention basin is in place and a permit is issued from DEM. Marshall inquired about the additional permits Embree had referenced and the landscaping plan. Embree responded that the property was within the Major Transportation Corridor, that a landscape plan had been approved, and that a letter of credit posted for the improvements.
