Staff is supportive and recommends approval. Commissioner Gleason asked about the wall in the site plan. Mr. Colonna stated it would be an architecture feature. Mr. Roberson explained the wall would be approximately four feet in height and set as a headlight break for cars parking behind it. Mr. Roberson is granting right-of-way to include sidewalk, curb and would like to eventually include a new trail-head near the development. The location is the original depot site and the buildings are modeled after it. Commissioner Chapman mentioned the possible increased interaction right outside of the property as the development will be built along the trail system. In addition, having the development pushed back from the street allows for a buffer to the homes across and near the property. Commissioners were supportive of the development and stated the requirement for the four foot tall wall to be built to minimize headlights of cars parking and work as a buffer for neighboring properties.
