-- Planning: The closure could inhibit future access to the northern property (5919 Meadowland Dr, Foster Chapel Baptist Church) which currently has access via George Bounds Road. A concept plan for a single-family subdivision was approved for the church property in 2004 (Planning file # 7-SD-04-C), but it has remained undeveloped. The Previously Approved Planned District (C) designation on the zoning map indicates that this property can be developed under the former RP-1 (Planned Residential) with up to 4 du/ac district standards. At maximum intensity, this could yield up to 32 dwelling units which may require secondary access for fire apparatus.

-- Engineering Department: The Department of City Engineering objects to this closure due to receiving information from Foster Chapel Baptist Church citing disagreement and that closure would negatively impact future development plans that the church has for their property.

The property is located at 5919 Meadow Drive, Tax Map 071, Parcel 002.07, is currently undeveloped and is approximately 8 acres in area. Future development of this property could generate the need for Loice Ln to be improved for access to support higher traffic that would be traveling through the neighborhood.

-- Addressing: The proposed ROW closure is not expected to impact any existing addresses.

-- Fire Department: Approved for fire department.
