internally using deflector shields, 2) no external trash dumpsters / compactors
shall be permitted along the property lines bordered by the A-1 zoning
district, 3) any external trash dumpsters / compactors shall be visually
obstructed by a structure that is aesthetically similar to the proposed
development, 4) screening for air conditioners, refrigeration units, and heat
pumps shall be required for all development on the property, 5) a 100-foot
natural landscaped buffer shall front Whitesville Road, 6) only one curb-cut
shall be permitted on Whitesville Road, 7) only one curb-cut shall be permitted
on Williams Road, and 8) if this property is not used as a nursing home which
includes all present activities and other related health services associated
with the nursing home operated by Muscogee Manor on Schatulga Road, an
independent living facility, an assisted living facility, medical offices for
on-staff physicians, physical therapy services, and a home health agency that
provides services outside the nursing home, then the property shall be rezoned
back to the A-1 zoning district by the Planning Division.
