t Q Pg4of4 Appficauon 2010-0201 Wake Stone Lze County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance: The subject property is not located within a special flood hazard area inundated by the 100-year flood as per FEMA Map 3710966600K, dated 2/2/07. Emergency Response The subject property is located within the Deep River Fire District and is approximately 2.5 miles east of the Deep River Rural Fire Department. Transportation The Sanford Thoroughfare Plan Technical Report identifies Deep River Road as a major thoroughfare. Deep River Road is the old US Highway 1 and serves as the primary access to the Lee County Industrial Park. Major thoroughfares may be either partial or no control access and usually have little to no on-street parking. The 2008 annual daily traffic count reports 1,400 vehicles trips per day on Deep River Road just east of Wake Stone's quarry operation. Conformance with the Deep River Small Area Plan The Deep River Small Area Plan and Map suggests that the front portion of the subject property be designated within the Low Density Residential/Agriculture zone. This classification is intended to contain single-family homes at an overall density of one unit per acre, and small farms. The Plan notes that development in this area is restricted due to septic limitations resulting from poor soils • and the lack of municipal sewer services. The Plan also designates a Highway Node wth a Mixed Use Commercial Center zone at the interchange of US #1 Bypass and Deep River Road (Old US #1). The Mixed Use Commercial Center is intended to contain high density commercial, office, and residential uses subject to high design standards in a compact area which is designed to be pedestrian-friendly. Conformance with the Sanford/Lee County 2020 Land Use Plan The Sanford/Lee County 2020 Land Use Plan designates this property within a Conservation Zone. The Plan suggests that large residential subdivisions in the Conservation Zone maintain a 3-acre minimum lot size thereby creating a very-low density development. When considering the zoning change of this property, current development trends of the neighborhood should be continued and applied.
