He described it as a lot split proposal to create a one acre lot for a Burger King restaurant. Access to the subdivision is provided via Rt. 59. a 66 ft. wide ingress and egress easement to be shared between lots 1 and 2 is proposed. No further access is anticipated to the subject site from Rt. 59. No cross access is anticipated from commercial properties north and south of the subject site. No vehicular access is permissible to the residential area west of the subject site. The developer, Michael Guinta, has submitted a concept plan to indicate a potential layout for the lot 2 area. This concept provides a private street system to gain access to rear parking areas for office condominiums located in the west central portion of the site. A possible bank site and office condominium is also located along the east portion of Lot 2 near Rt. 59. Dense landscaping should be provided along the residential areas along Lots 7 through 14. This buffer area should provide a significant screen, year round, from adjoining residential properties. The Plan Commission discussed the concept plan at some length. The discussion focussed on access to the adjoining commercial properties. It was felt that the possibility of an access should be reserved in the event cross access is a benefit to future plans at the site.
