It also includes dedication of right-of--way and construction of a right turn lane on the section of Rock Prairie from Longmire east to the west Frontage Road. Staff reviewed the final plat and found compliance with all of the subdivision regulations with the exception of the comments listed on the staff memorandum dated February 15, 1999. The revised final plat that will come before the Commission addresses all of staff's concerns with the following exception: Originally, staff had encouraged an access easement that would parallel Rock Prairie Road on the Kroger site east of Longmire to serve the existing bank site, and that there be an access easement to the west of Longmire to align with that future driveway. The access easement on west side was to • serve all of Lots 1 through 6 of Block 3. However, during preliminary discussions regarding the Kroger conceptual plan, it became apparent that the driveway nearest Rock Prairie Road would generate higher volumes than were anticipated. In light of this new information, staff is concerned that the original recommendation to require the access easement west of Longmire will add to the traffic congestion on Longmire if high traffic generators are built on Lots 1, 2, 3, and 6 of Block 3. If such uses are contemplated for these lots in the future, staff recommends that their access drives do not connect to portion of the access easement that will serve Lots 4 and 5. Therefore, Staff recommends that the portion of the access easement adjacent to Lots 1 2 3 and 6 be marked on the final plat with a reference note that access to that easement will be determined at the time of site development. •,.~~f ,v,,~~4 ~ (~~,.~-,,,a ~ F sl~.~-~Q 0.~::~,1 ~~ ~ f :,1 /?.
