study He outlined the proposed improvements the owner has agreed to put in place,and stated the Department of Transportation feels this would improve the traffic situation in thearea The developer

the other lane The Planning Board recommended approval based onDOTs findingsDeveloper Steve Eastman stated, in his opinion, there is no other economically feasibleway to develop this property other than R -10 He noted that since Ms Jones has addressed thetraffic problem, and since the area is obviously going to continue to grow, this would seem to bea responsible way to growIn response to a

however, at this time, the County has no zoning designation between R -10and R -30 She pointed out they plan to build a responsible development, which she feels mighthelp bring Natural Gas into the
