Peyton Inge, with Inge Brazos II, LLC who represents the ownership of the land leased to AutoZone and abutting the south most property line of the property. "I wish to express our support for the use application with the caveat that I believe it is in the community's best interest and safety that completion of the Common Access drive, in front of the subject, and north to the signalized intersection, be required at the same time that construction is undertaken on the subject. It is my understanding that the developer prefers to delay same until the later of: a) after it has completed construction of the residential project to the west, or b) it has sold the remaining lot(s) that would front same. However, this may create a bottleneck dead-end effect for traffic, encouraging people to exit improperly from the existing entry between the subject and the existing AutoZone site. Completing the access drive now should avoid this. Thank you for your consideration."
