The applicant has submitted this application to provide for the subdivision of the subject property into six parcels, four of which will not have street frontage. Planned unit development approval is necessary to allow the subdivision of lots without street frontage. The applicant requested a B-3 Special Use for a P.U.D. and for preliminary plan approval for this property in 1986. The special use was granted and preliminary plan approval was given. However, the applicant chose to abandon the P.U.D. and all approvals associated with the property in July, 1986.

Upon completion, the development will feature one 1 , 200 square foot tenant space and five two-story 8, 700 square foot office buildings. At this time, the 1 ,200 square foot tenant space and two of the office buildings are constructed. All of the buildings will be located on individual lots with common areas proposed for the roadways and parking areas. III. FINDINGS After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public hearing on the proposed special use and preliminary plan and final plat approval on September 21 , 1987. The petitioner appeared at the public hearing and -Page 1- Exhibit A presented documentary evidence. No objectors appeared and no written objection has been filed. The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with respect to Petition 58-87: A. Site Characteristics: The subject property contains approximately 3.95 acres (172,000 square feet) .
