The original plat was one large lot which contained the Kmart site, and an out parcel, Lot 2, Southwood Section 26 which contains Ferreri's restaurant, originally Ira's, a retail establishment.

In May, 1995, a PRC review was held for the Brandywine plat, staff requested the appliance discuss with Mr. Ferreri cross access between Lot 2 and Lot 1 because of difficulties with the dumpster location and service entrance for the restaurant. In February, 1996, the applicant approached staff to proceed with the plat in order to negotiate a cross access agreement. Staff agreed to proceed with the plat because staff was requesting cross access to facilitate the back entrance and dumpster location because there was the ability for the dumpster to be relocated on lot 2, screened with fence and shrubbery. Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at their meeting on February 15th with the condition that the four lots in Brandywine Subdivision and the Ferreri site be viewed as a building plot which would be consistent with the sign ordinance and the original plat.
