Item 4: Continued Public Hearing from August 21, 2008: PP 08-008 Request
for Preliminary Plat approval of 17 commercial lots on approximately 8.7
acres in a C-G zoning district for Trade Plaza by Land Investors, LLC -
555 S. Meridian Road:
Mae: Okay. Well, anyway, then, let me back up and I'm sorry about that, we will open
number four, which is the continued public hearing for PP 08-008 for Trade Plaza and
ask staff to report.
Parsons: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The project before

and phase two is expected to continue to the west. Here is what the applicant has
proposed. Again, here is one access point that they are proposing to Meridian Road
here, a full access point here and, then, of course, with the phasing of their plan they
are proposing to construct that portion of corporate drive and kind of stub at that
boundary -- the phase one boundary and have a turnaround located in this location for
emergency vehicle access and whoever else goes back in there needs to use that as a
turnaround. This area of the plat is -- this lot is proposed for a future drive-thru bank for
that site. One thing I'd like to paint out is staff is not supportive of the access onto
Meridian Road. UDC restricts that. We feel -- we have conditioned the applicant to
actually take access onto Corporate Drive at this time. The other thing -- another
