SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR WAIVER REQUEST TO BUFFER REQUIREMENTS
WELLBORN BUSINESS PARK — LOT 1, BLOCK 1
The "Proposed Site Plan" shows the layout of the Office /Warehouse development proposed for this
tract. The future public street right of way dedication and the existing pipeline easement reduce the
usable area of the tract.
The buffer yard requirements for a commercial development adjacent to a residential property are a 15'
wide buffer yard and a 6' high wall. A 6' high fence can be used if the buffer yard width is increased by
an additional 15' and the landscape plantings in the buffer yard are doubled. The "Usable Area Exhibit"
shows the location and area of the buffer yards. The owner of the development would prefer to leave
the existing vegetation along the property line and not construct a fence or a wall. The existing
vegetation would serve as a buffer between this project and the adjacent tracts. The "Photo Exhibit"
shows the location of the 6 photos which show the existing vegetation. The photos were taken facing
the adjacent tracts.
The waiver request is to allow the Wellborn Business Park to provide a 15' buffer with no wall, fence or
landscape plantings in the buffer. The owners of the adjacent tracts are in support of this request and
letters from them are included in this request.
