LAND USE PLANNING IMPACT Future Land Use Map: The Bulloch County Joint Comprehensive Plan indicates that the property would be appropriate for Residential development. Existing Land Use Pattern: There are primarily commercial, residential and agricultural uses at adjacent and nearby properties.

Neighborhood Character: There is evidence that the proposed change in use will not injure or detract from existing neighborhoods. Property Values: Adjacent properties may be enhanced by the proposed development provided aesthetics restrictions are placed in private deed covenants, and, if enforcement of County land use and property maintenance regulations is applied.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT No impact is expected. FIRE SERVICE Fire service is available within 1 mile (response time 5 minutes) from the Statesboro Fire Department. No additional resources are required. TRAFFIC IMPACT The capacity and general condition of the roads accessing the proposed development is good. Pulaski Highway is a county maintained paved road. PARKING, ROAD AND DRAINAGE IMPACT The proposed variance should not create a significant traffic impact. Currently, all drainage is natural with no known man-made improvements to the existing development other than roadside drainage ditches and culverts. The accessways/driveways to the site should have proper roadside drainage measures. E-911 AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IMPACT Street addresses can be easily assigned. The County Emergency Management Director should be contacted prior to construction. LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPACT Response time from Bulloch County Sheriff’s Department is approximately 4 minutes. However, depending on patrolling patterns and the location of deputies at a given time, this response may be greater or lesser. FINAL STAFF RECOMMENDATION The subject property appears suitable for the proposed development. The staff recommends approval of the variance request. Participants Tom Couch, County Manager; Andy Welch, County Planner; and Kirk Tatum, County Engineer; Randy Newman, Zoning Administrator.
