Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the Commission. She stated
the Development Review Committee is concerned due to the fact
that there is only one entry access street to the Subdivision,
as well as the lack of visibility near the proposed Stanford
Drive and Bethel School Road intersection. Ms. Bowman stated
that fire protection for this subdivision would be provided by

Bowman then stated that the City will have to resolve a road
widening issue. She then stated that the Development Review

should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of
this preliminary plat to the City Council, that Bethel School
Road be built at this time.
