Planning Director Eisner briefly reviewed the proposed project, noting that
the applicants are proposing a 43 lot subdivision on the flat land, with an
additional 3 lots in the hill area. He further noted that when this item was before
the Commission before, the request was for R -1 zoning. At that time, the Commission
and Council rejected the request on the basis that the lot sizes were too small.
Mr. Eisner described the differences between this proposal and those
previously submitted. This one has large lots on Cherry Avenue and Branch Mill
Road, with the smaller lots at the interior of the project. He noted that access
would be restricted to Cherry Avenue and Branch Mill Road by a dedicated easement of
1 ft., as well as the landscaped buffer area including a curvilinear sidewalk and
either a berm or wall for sound control.

Rezoning Case No. 84 -184 had been duly published and property owners notified,
