3. To maintain 250 foot and 150 foot setbacks for all. buildings

4. To maintain a 75 foot buffer on the south and west side in
which no physical improvements will be made with the exception of
fencing and pedestrian paths.
5. Dedicate a perpetual S foot access easement to the residents
o'f Baylake Pines from the end of Sandy Bay ])rive to Chesapeake Bay.
5a. To dedicate a 30 foot easement as a public right of way across
that portion of the property which fronts Chesapeake Bay, 30 feet from
the low water mark.
6. To submit all. plans to the Planning Department according to
Planned Unit Development administrative controls.
In addition, the Planning Commission recommends that this request be
approved subject to necessary breakaway gates to be situated at locations
to be determined by City Departments. I£' Sandy Bay Drive is to be used,
it is recommended for a breakaway gate only, rather than a thru street·
City water an.d sewer is required by the l. Ieatth I)epartment. The motion
for approval[ further suggests participation in school site acquisition.
Engineering DJ. vision states that a ]eft turn lane for east bound
traffic on Shore Drive shall be x-equired a.t the intersection of West
Grayson Road. In view of the high densi, ty of dwellers and the extreme
concentration of ingress-egress ~nduced by this deve]opment, the proposed
intersection of Shore Drive and West Grayson Road shall require an
electronic signaling device for safe traffic control. The installation
of a traffic control signal and cost of turning lane is therefore
established as a requi, rement of the developer. The Soil Conservation
Off_ice states that every effort sh.a]l be made to protect natural
land features and prose'rye existing stabi]ized dunes..
