Traffic has the potential to be an issue at this location. The City Traffic Division would like to see a Traffic Impact Analysis of the property prior to development. This property is located in the flood hazard. Properties along Dowlen and Crow Roads are mostly developed in this area, creating large amounts of runoff during rain events. New flood maps show a BFE (Base Flood Elevation) of 27' just west of this property. Therefore, the lowest floor of new construction must be at least 18" above BFE. Landscaping requirements shall include 8 foot privacy, wood or masonry, screening fences and 10' wide landscaped buffers along east and south property lines, as well as perimeter landscaping at right-of-way, and islands for parking areas. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
