<br />generally located south of Nimtz Parkway and to the east of Olive Road approximately
<br />1/8 mile west of the St. Joseph Valley Parkway. It is anticipated that the annexation area
<br />will be developed as a Parochial School. All public improvements, if any, will be
<br />required to be done at the expense of the developer. Significant light industrial
<br />development and residential uses are anticipated in the future. Resulting, traffic volume
<br />is anticipated to increase and vehicular patterns will be altered. In consideration of
<br />pedestrian safety and proper vehicular movement, it should be required as a condition of
<br />annexation that the Developer give very careful consideration to vehicular access and

<br />spacing, style, massing, height, entry, fenestration, materials, accessory buildings,
<br />landscape buffering and lighting that achieve development and design of the highest
<br />possible quality. Building plans and other information to satisfy these requirements must
<br />be finalized between the Developer and the City before the annexation is effective.
