Churches Middle School, which has 867 students (capacity: 675). High school

Buffer Requiremnts
No buffer requirement.
Attitude of Property Owners: Fifty-seven (57) property owners within 300 feet were
notified of the rezoning request. The Planning Division received one comment
concerning the rezoning.
Additional Information: Due to problems with the topography of the land, the applicant has
submitted an alternate plan that runs with the topography. The major benefit
of this new design is the fact that one of the internal streets is stubbed out
to the property of Mac Stinson. This public ROW access will require the future
development of the Stinson property to have road frontage access back into the
proposed subdivision. Therefore, no access will be granted to Whitesville Road
from any future development of the Stinson property.
