The • lot is approximately 5.21± acres in size with 409 feet of frontage on Jefferson Davis Highway and over 530 feet of frontage on Lark Lane, a private road. The site is cleared of timber and is undeveloped. The property is also the same 5.207-acte tract shown on a map surveyed for "Quail Ridge Ltd.", recorded in Plat Cabinet 5, Slide 110, Lee County Register of Deeds and that property recently surveyed for Carl and Vicki Bunnell recorded in Plat Cabinet 2010, Slide 28. Utilities The site does not have access to public water or sewer. If developed, a well and private sewerage system will serve the wastewater needs. Existing Zoning and Land Uses Properties adjoining to the north, south and west are zoned Residential Restricted. Properties to the east and being east of Jefferson Davis Highway (US 1) are zoned Light Industrial. Land uses surrounding the subject tract consist primarily of very low-density single-family homes. Quail Ridge golf course and subdivision is located west of the site. Sanford Construction Company owns an 84- acre undeveloped tract east of the site. Staff Analysis The current zoning district (Residential Restricted-RR) is established to provide areas for low- density single-family uses, with a maximum of one and one-half (1.5) dwelling units per acre. Property zoned RR should include only those tracts which abut or are in close proximity to existing • large-lot single family development, making RR an appropriate transition district between rural, agricultural, and suburban uses. The RR district requires a minimum lot width of 100 feet, a front yard setback of 30 feet, a rear yard setback of 30 feet and a side yard setback of 15 feet.
