Water and Sewer: • Individual well and conventional septic system on each lot (20 lots approved for 4- bedroom homes and 2 lots approved for 3- bedroom homes) • Health Department verified that each lot contains provisionally suitable soils to locate a septic system Open Space: • All open space will be privately owned and protected through conservation easements and restrictive covenants • Administration recommends that the wildlife corridor be platted as a separate lot and dedicated to Orange County Agency Comments • Requests for agency review were sent to: NCDOT, Erosion Control, NRCS, Recreation and Parks, Orange County Schools, County Attorney and Fire Marshall. Development Process. Schedule and Action Planning Board: • First Action: Concept Plan approved by the Planning Board (by a unanimous vote) February 3, 1999, with the five following conditions: 1. Remove front and side yard setbacks from inclusion in the total open space area and recalculate open space percentage; 2. Shorten the cul -de -sac by at least fifty (50) feet to minimize disturbance. 3. On the Preliminary Plan, indicate the stream buffers as required by Article 6.23 of the Zoning Ordinance; 4. Access to all lots shall be limited to the new subdivision road; and 5. With the Preliminary Plan, submit draft forms of the homeowner's association documents, road maintenance /access easement agreement, and restrictive covenants or conservation easement which contain use and maintenance provisions for open space and buffers. The restrictive covenants or conservation agreement shall designate a Back -up grantee, in the event the homeowner's association is eliminated. • Preliminary Plan addressed all conditions of approval of the Concept Plan. G:/ robert/ b6ccdocs/bradford.doc/jul29 /rpd 3 • Second Action: Planning Board approved Preliminary Plan • Planning Board approved Preliminary request with staff conditions on a 5 -2 vote. • Developer opposed dedication of wildlife corridor as an individual lot. • Planning Board discussion centered on wildlife corridor dedication acreage, the value of acreage and the ownership of wildlife corridor. • Planning Board asked the staff and developer to discuss the corridor dedication and try to resolve the issue. • Staff offered to reduce the dedication from 5 acres to 2 acres with a 30 foot easement for maintenance purposes. No acceptance of offer by the developer. • Dedication of the 2 acres wildlife corridor will fulfill the fee in- lieu -of for Recreation and Parks. • Third Action: Board of County Commissioners to consider Preliminary Plan Options: 1. Action at this meeting or within such further time consented to in writing by the applicant. 2.

' The Planning Staff comment regarding each is provided in italics. IV- B- 3-d -1. Roads - Public roads are generally required in all subdivisions and will be required where it is found that: 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted by the State for maintenance if: a. They are built in a manner which satisfies the minimum State design and construction criteria for subdivision roads; and (If the road were built according to State construction standards, it would create more disturbances than the proposed private road and would impact a protected watenhed.) b. They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general density standard of at least two occupied residences for each one -tenth of a mile of subdivision road; or (The State's density requirement is I21 occupied residences per tenth of a mile If the road were built to State standards within a dedicated right -of m%V, it would be eligible for -State maintenance when eight [81 residences are constructed and occupier) 2. The subdivision roads emend existing roads which are public or. (Not applicable The proposed private mad will be within an existing private easement) . 3. The subdivision roads are part of a development which is located in, an area designated as Urban or Transition on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan; or (Not applicable) 13 4. A proposed road is designated as an arterial or collector on an approved Thoroughfare Plan for a municipality or in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan; or (The road is not designated as arterials or collectors) 5. ' The subdivision roads are part of a non-residential development consisting of office, retail, industrial, and similar businesses, each located on a separate lot. This provision shall only apply to that portion of a subdivision being developed for non residential purposes: (Not applicable) However, private roads may be allowed in a subdivision where, is the judgment of the Planning Board and with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners, it is found that the nature and location of the subdivision with respect to other development and the Comprehensive Plan are such that a private road is justified. In determining whether to permit private roads in subdivisions, the following design features will be considered: 1. The location and design of the subdivision is such that it clearly preserves the rural character of the County through: a. The provision of lot sizes and building setback lines significantly greater than required by ordinance provisions. Compliance with this standard is assured in University Lake Watershed where a subdivision is required to provide a minimum required lot size of five acres. Where the minimum required lot size is less than five acres, compliance is assured when each lot in the subdivision contains at least twice the minimum required lot size; and/or (The proposed subdivision is located in the Cane Creek Protected Watershed where the mxcimum density is one unit per two acres The density proposed in Bradford Ridge is one unit per three acres Most of the rear building setbacks have been increased from 20 feet to 75 feet with a 50 foot minimum and are included as part of the open space.) b. The retention and/or provision of landscaping and use of clustering of dwelling units to screen the view of the subdivision from public roads and/or maintain a wooded or forested character, maintain scenic views, or preserve wildlife, botanical, historic, archaeological and/or recreation sites. 14 (The subdivision will not be visible from the public road The creeks and wooded areas, including the wildlife corridor, will be protected using deed restrictions or a conservation easement and dedicated open space.) C. The preservation of site features which directly enhance the special or unique cultural, historical, archaeological or biological characteristics of the immediate area. (The open space as shown on the Concept Plan preserves the streams and adjacent wooded areas, as well as buffers ad acent to the power line, the subdivision boundaries, and Borland Road A wildlife corridor designated in the Inventoa of Natural Areas and Etldlife Habitats of Orange County, follows Cane Creek and connects natural areas identified at the Cane Creek Reservoir and the Crabtree Creek Monadnock Ridge located across Borland Road) 2. The number, location and/or size of lots to be located in the subdivision are such that, even if constructed to State standards, the streets would not.be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or other State requirements. (lf constructed to State standards, the proposed road would be eligible for State maintenance when eight [81 residences are constructed and occupied) 3. Recreation and/or open space areas, including lands containing significant botanical, wildlife, historic and/or archaeological sites, are to be dedicated and/or preserved through restrictive covenants in amounts significantly greater than required by standards for recreation/open space dedication. (Recreation /open space dedication is voluntary at this location. The applicant has chosen to reserve a total of 30.99 acres or 44.6% of the subdivision as open space.) 4. Significantly larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, and/or other design features are proposed as part of a subdivision to be located in a Protected Watershed as designated on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of impervious surface and cause infiltration of storm water runoff to prevent the pollution of water supply reservoirs. (This subdivision is located in the Cane Creek Protected Watershed The average lot size is over three acres, over 50% larger than the minimum. Adjacent to the streams on the property, more area has been protected beyond the required stream buff en The proposed private road will protect at least 48,000 square feet or 1.1 acre of wooded area in the right- of-way that would be cleared and seeded if the roads were built to State standards.) 15 5. Topographic and environmental features, such as streams, steep slopes, or watersheds, that would be adversely affected by the use of roads constructed to State standards because of factors such as significant amounts of earthwork (cut and fill) that would contribute to increased run-off of stormwater and siltation. (Building the roads to State standards would require clearing and grading more area than with the proposed private road A proposed public right- of-way must be cleared entirely of all trees and underbrush. Trees and natural understory may remain in a private right -of -way, provided there is adequate clearance for larger vehicles Vegetation within a private road right- of-way sometimes provides an area for immediate infiltration of runoff from the travelway, shoulders and ditches.) 6. The site is already developed to 100% of the capacity which could be achieved after approval of the subdivision and some or all of the non- conforming aspects of existing development on the site will be made more conforming as a result of the proposed subdivision, and all conforming aspects of the development will remain conforming. (Not applicable.) 7. There is only one subdivision road proposed. Its length does not exceed 350 feet. It serves no more than five lots. Its grade does not exceed nine percent. The land being subdivided is not connected to nor is part of another subdivision required to be served by public roads. In addition, the average lot size within the subdivision is at least 40,000 square feet. (Not applicable.) EVALUATION SUNIlvIARY: The proposed private mad is jusuf red through lower density, larger setbacks, and protection of natural features through open space dedication. In addition, the subdivision is located in a protected watershed where disturbance should be minimized finally, a minor subdivision has been approved to the south of this tract that basically prevents the extension of a public road in the future: Planning Staff 'recommends that the proposed road be approved as a Class A private road.

With the Preliminary Plan, submit draft forms of the homeowner's association documents, road maintenance/access easement agreement, and restrictive covenants or conservation easement which. contain use and maintenance provisions for open space and buffers. The restrictive covenants or conservation agreement shall designate a Back -up grantee, in the event the homeowner's association is eliminated. Preliminary Plan addresses all conditions of approval of the Concept Plan. Second Action: Planning Board to consider Preliminary Plan Options: 1. Action within forty-five (45) days of this meeting or within such further time consented to in writing by the applicant. 2. If the Planning Board fails to act within the specified time period, 3. If approved the applicant shall have one (1) year to prepare and file a Final Plat or to request a one -year extension from the Planning Director. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Fiscal Impact Analysis included as an attachment. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Staff Approval, subject to the conditions contained in the attached resolution of Approval. Davis pointed out a typo made on page 3 of the Resolution of Approval - D.3 - "100 meters" should be "100 feet ". He noted that if the wildlife corridor lot were dedicated to Orange County it would consist of 5 acres, but if payment were made in lieu of parkland dedication, the cost would be approximately $9500.00. Woods asked if the County wanted to own the wildlife corridor. Lincoln distributed a report from the Environment & Resource Conservation Department on the joint Recreation & Parks Plan. She noted that in the report there are different types of areas that the ERCD wants to protect and the criteria for choosing the wildlife corridors and woodland trails (copy attached to minutes). Lincoln stated that in this particular area, a small piece of the wildlife corridor is proposed for a woodland trail. Barrows expressed concern with people knowing about the trail. Kevin Huggins, applicant, stated that this is the first time he has heard about a trail. Lincoln stated that the proposed trail would be very narrow, would not be something that is used a lot and would not be a main part of the Recreation and Parks system. It will not be paved, just a possible access area. Huggins stated that dedicating the wildlife corridor to the county has just come up within the last week. He stated that they had talked about taking the conservation easement across the whole thing with the Environment and Resource Conservation Department and OWASA. He expressed concern with the wildlife corridor being a separate lot and giving it to Orange County. He stated that he would rather have the separate lot as a conservation easement where the landowners still owned the land with an easement across it This would give them the rules of what they can and cannot do on their land. He stated that this has not been discussed very much with staff but he is willing to do that to come up with a plan for the area. Lincoln stated that Bob Jones, Recreation & Parks Director, presented this before the Recreation and Parks Advisory Council and they wanted the money to build ballfields and parks instead of this piece of the corridor because they are not predominately interested in preserving floodplains and protected areas. She stated that Dave Stancil, ERCD Director, would be talking to the council about the importance of obtaining these proposed wildlife corridors. She stated that the corridors would be a vital part of the overall greenways system. She noted that the ERCD is working on accepting this type of land rather than the Recreation and Parks Department. She also noted that ERCD is working; 19 that the Planning Department is asking in the resolution of approval that this parcel be platted as a separate lot and not be developed so that is it is possible that this parcel could be deeded to Orange County. Barrows asked if the Planning Board could approve the preliminary plan since the developer is not sure that this will be okay. Lincoln responded that this is a staff recommendation for approval and if this is not acceptable to the applicant, they can appeal to the Board of Commissioners. She stated that the Planning Board could take this out of the resolution of approval. She also stated that this item may be tabled if the Board desires to give staff more time to work this out, as far as comments from other agencies, and working with the applicant. McAdams expressed concern with access to the dedicated property. He stated that Orange County residents would have permission to use the property but there would be no access. He stated that access should be given from one of the adjoining lots from the onset of approval. He pointed out that he would be definitely opposed to eminent domain to gain parkland. Andrews stated that she has a problem with imposing a regulation on the developer about something that may or may not happen. She stated that as far as the county is concerned, everything has not been worked out and its not right to hold up the developer when he can't be told exactly what the ground rules are. Woods stated that this is a one time thing. He noted that he thinks that the county's plan fora wildlife corridor is really good and must be acquired now. Andrews agreed but stated that to give this to the County forever may be a problem. She stated that she has no problem with the county owning it for a certain number of years. Lincoln stated that the requirement could be worded that it would be dedicated to Orange County with stipulation. Huggins stated that if this area is permanent open space, nothing could be done to it. He noted that it would be a wildlife corridor forever because it cannot be developed. He stated that the question is, who owns it Woods stated that historically many jurisdictions have found that open space that is part of an individual lot is open space that is much more frequently abused than open space that is owned by a county or a non- profit organization. He stated that people who own land with a county easement will tend to put things on it such as a shed or fence for a garden. Huggins stated that if there is, for example, a five acre tract there with no access, how will anyone know what is put there. Woods stated that the county's recourse as owners of the property is greater than the recourse of trying to enforce an easement. Barrows mentioned that the Planning Board has 45 days in which to make a decision. She asked the applicant if he would like to discuss this further with staff. Huggins stated that he would not like to wait an 20 McAdams stated that for instance, if there were no quorum for the next meeting, the applicant would have approval on the 46* day with no conditions. Barrows asked about comments regarding restrictive covenants made by a citizen at the neighborhood meeting. Huggins responded that they have been in contact with the citizen's son and information has been sent to him about issues he was concerned about. McAdams asked about the number of residents on the road and whether the road should be private or public. Huggins stated that his attorney has drafted a document regarding the easement. He stated that an easement already exists but he would like to locate the road in a different location to make it easier to access. He further stated that the easement provides access to property that cannot be subdivided into more than 2 lots; so, there will be no more than 24 lots using the road. Woods stated that this is a densely populated area of the county where there would be almost no recreation space. He stated that he thinks that this five -acre tract at the end of the cul -de -sac is a good idea. Barrows stated that McAdams is concerned that if one more resident moves there, then the road would have to be public. She asked who would bear the burden of the expense of the road. McAdams recommended that the county accept the $9500 for payment in lieu and then buy lot 13 from the applicant. Barrows noted that if the property is left like it is, it would be open space for the subdivision but not the citizens. She stated that staff is looking at acquiring a piece of land for a future wildlife corridor that would be available to the citizens of the county. Lincoln stated that greenways were adopted only in the Rural Buffer. The ordinance requires that the county accept any property designated by the Comprehensive Plan as a greenway instead of accepting a payment in lieu of parkland dedication. She stated that a greenways plan has not yet been adopted for the entire county but expects it to be with the Land Use Plan update. Walters stated that when the wildlife corridors were first discussed, it was not for people to use, it was to leave natural areas for the wildlife. Lincoln noted that the report she distributed lists the criteria where trails would be appropriate in these corridors. She stated that some trails can be put in some of the corridors and this happens to be one of those where a trail may be appropriate. Huggins stated that it might be in his best interest to let the land remain in open space and be owned by the residents of the subdivision. MOTION: Woods moved approval per staff recommendation. Seconded by Katz. VOM 5 in favor (Andrews, Barrows, Katz, Selkirk, Woods) 2 opposed (McAdams, Walters) McAdams stated that he was opposed because of his concern with the wildlife corridor and the gray area. Walters stated that her concern is with the way the wildlife corridor regulations were stated at the beginning and now trails have been added. AGENDA ITEM #9: INFORMATIONAL PTEMS a. June Calendar (to be distributed at meeting) b. Monthly Reports Lincoln. noted that the Board is scheduled for the regular meeting on July 7 and a Long -Range Planning Session on July 13. She asked the Board how it felt about having only one meeting in July. MOTION: Selkirk moved to have one meeting in July on the 13th. Seconded by Walters. VOTE: Unanimous. Barrows asked about ordinance amendments that had been before the Board that were not heard at the public hearing. Lincoln responded that the property did not get posted and the letters were not mailed out within the specified time period. Walters stated that she had noticed that wording from staff had been added to agendas going public hearing that the Planning Board did not approve. She asked if the BOCC okayed adding the extra wording that the Planning Board did not see. Lincoln stated that it is denoted what staff and what the Planning Board added. She stated that staff has also been directed to propose fiuther amendments to the subdivision regulations which will be coming before the Board for the August public hearing. Walters expressed concern that a precedent will be set if the Planning Board does not review things going to public hearing. AGENDA ITEM #10: ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned 9:05 p.m. Prepared By Approved By Date 21 FISCAL R PACT ANALYSIS FOR BRADFORD RIDGE RESIDENTIAL SERVICE STANDARD APPROACH Prepared by The Orange County Planning Department May, 1999 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 22 Bradford Ridge Subdivision contains 22 single - family lots and is located in Bingham Township. The lots are accessed by Bradford Ridge Road, a Class A Private Road which will intersect with Borland Road approximately 10M feet east of Chestnut Ridge Church Road. The current zoning is AR and Cane PW (Agricultural Residential and Cane Protected Watershed). The average lot size is 3.15 acres more or less. Lots will be served by individual wells and septic systems. Project build -out is estimated at five years. Housing units will be constructed, beginning in .2000, with completion of the project scheduled for 2005. Units will consist of detached single - family homes, and the applicant estimates the average sales price to be $200,000, including the lot. METHODOLOGY Fiscal impact analysis is a projection of the direct, current, public costs and revenues associated with residential and non - residential growth in the jurisdiction in which the growth is taking place. Fiscal impact analysis considers only direct impact in that it projects only the primary costs that will be incurred and the immediate revenues that will be generated. It calculates the financial effect of a planned development or new subdivision by considering the current costs and revenues such a development would generate if it were completed and occupied today. Fiscal impact analysis does not consider the private costs of public action. It is concerned only with public (governmental) costs and revenues. The method used in preparing the fiscal impact analysis is the Service Standard Approach. While only gross expenditures by service category are derived from the Per Capita Method, the Service Standard method determines the total number of additional employees by service function that will be required as a result of growth. This method employs average county government costs per person, average school costs per pupil, an employee to population ratio, and average operating expenses per employee for each service category and school district. The number of new employees are projected and multiplied times the average operating expenses (includes personnel, operating and capital costs) per employee. These average costs are then weighed against per capita and per pupil revenues to project the total net fiscal impact of the development.

Much, if not all, of the information is supplied by the applicant. Data inputs include: Project Name: Name of the project. Township: Township in which the project is located School District: School district in which the project is located. Beginning Year: The first year of the project in which dwelling units are completed and occupied Ending Year: The last year in which dwelling units are completed and occupied. The template is set to calculate fiscal impacts for a ten-year period Inflation Rate: Unless an inflation rate is entered, the template will calculate fiscal impacts based on constant dollars. Since the inflation rate changes frequently, the Finance Department must be contacted for the most recent figure. Persons/Household: The estimated average number of persons /household (dwelling unit) based on 1990 Census data and studies of the number of students per household for the school district in which the project is located The most recent studies include A Study of Housing Characteristics and Student Generation Rates for Orange County, N.G (1995) and Technical Report: Calculation of Proportionate Share Impact Fees for Financing Public Scbool Capital Needs, Orange County, N.G (1996). Children /Household: The estimated average number of school age children/household (dwelling unit) based on studies of the number of students per household for the school district in which the project is located The most recent study is A Study of Housing Characteristics and Student Generation Rates for Orange County, N.G (1995). % Non - Elderly: N.C. General Statutes permit an $11,000 exemption to the elderly and disabled who meet certain income criteria. In the event that elderly units are part of the project, the percentage of eligible non - elderly units is entered The tax base will automatically be adjusted to reflect the exemption. Number of Homes: The number of dwelling units to be constructed in the project in each year. Average Sales Price: The average sales price of all dwelling units based on the number and sales price of dwelling unit types to be constructed in each year. SECTION 2 - LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL DISTRICT DATA Local government data includes information regarding expenditures required to provide County services and revenues received based on the approved Orange County budget for the fiscal year in which the G:robert /bradfisc.doc /may99 /rpd 25 project is considered for approval. All information derived from the approved budget remains constant throughout a fiscal year Guly June) and is changed only with the approval of a new budget. Local government revenue and expenditure information is compiled on a per capita (per person) basis. Per capita figures are derived by dividing the total expenditures for a particular service function or revenue source by the estimated population of Orange County for the year in which the project is considered for approval. Populations estimates are prepared by the Planning Department. Data inputs include the following: Budget Year: The current fiscal year, i.e., 1996 -97. Per Capita Revenues: The sources of revenue by major category are as follows: Taxes - Other Than Property: Revenues from taxes other than property taxes include those from sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, and animal taxes. Intergovernmental Aid: Revenues from this source, in the form of categorical aid or shared-tax revenues, are provided through State and federal assistance programs. Service Charges: Service (or user) ' charges support numerous functions and are charged to those who voluntarily receive governmental services or use governmental facilities. Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous revenues include interest earnings on investments, proceeds from license and permit fees, and all other revenues. Per Capita Expenditures: Expenditures by major category are as follows: General Government: Services related to the legislative, administrative, financial, and legal functions of government.

Public Works: Efforts related to the maintenance of County -owned property and the provision of sanitation (solid waste disposal) services. Human Services: Departments responsible for the provision of health, social, and recreation- related services. Education: Orange County supports two school units, the Orange County school system and the Chapel Hill- Carrboro school system. This category includes appropriations made to the designated school system for Recurring Capital items. Recurring Capital funds are used for general maintenance, purchase of new equipment/furnishings and vehicle maintenance. Non - Departmental: Contributions to agencies providing cultural and social services outside the formal structure of county government. Other expenditures include equipment replacement and contingency funds. Although there are no employees generated by this category, it has been included as an operating expenditure. It will be included in Section 4, "Total Annual County Expenditure." These expenditures will be calculated on a per capita basis as opposed to a per employee basis. G:robert /bradfisc.doc /may99 /rpd 26 Per Student Expenditures: Information regarding expenditures required to provide educational services and revenues received are based on the approved school system budgets for the fiscal year in which the project is considered for approval. All information derived from the approved budgets remains constant throughout a fiscal year Duly June) and is changed only with the approval of new budgets. Expenditure information is compiled on a per student basis for County Government Current Expense, School District and State appropriations. County Government Current Expense funds are used for general operation purposes including Instruction and Support Services. Federal revenues and expenditures and other local revenues such as Fund Balance have not been included since they are not directly growth related. Per student figures are derived by dividing the total appropriation for educational purposes from a particular source by the estimated number of students to be enrolled in the applicable school system for the year in which the project is considered for approval. Student enrollments are obtained from the approved school system budgets. County Government: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations to the school systems by Orange County for Current Expense. The minimum level of per student appropriation is determined by the State Board of Education. School District: Expenditures in this category are unique to the Chapel Hill- Carrboro school system and are based on the level of expenditures possible through assessment of a supplementary school tax. State: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations from the State Board of Education. School District Per Employee Expenditure: Expenditures per employee based on County, School District and State appropriations, and the total number of school district employees. Employees Per 1000 Population: The number of employees in a particular service category per 1000 population. County Per Employee Expenditure: The average operating and capital expenses per employee in particular service category. Total expenses in each category includes personnel, operating and capital costs. G:robert /bradfisc.doc /may99 /rpd 27 Other Data: County Government Tax Rate: The County tax rate per $100 of assessed valuation. Since the per capita method focuses only on operating expenditures, the tax rate is reduced by an amount equal to the debt service payments from property taxes for capital projects. School District Tax Rate: The supplementary tax assessed on behalf of the Chapel Hill- Carrboro school system. Assessment Ratio: The ratio of market (sales) value to assessed value based on information supplied by the Tax Office. The assessment ratio is used to convert market value to assessed value for the purpose of computing the tax base. Other Model Constants Elderly Exemption: For projects developed partially or exclusively for elderly (65 and older) or disabled individuals whose annual income does not exceed $12,000, an $11,000 tax exemption is used in projecting the tax base. School District Employees Per Student: The number of employees per student in a specific school district. SECTION 3 - DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS BASED ON PROJECT DATA Demographic projections provide information about the number of new residents and school children anticipated in Orange County resulting from project development. Projections also provide the number of additional employees required per service function and school district as a result of the new development. Total Housing Units: The cumulative total of new housing units added each year by project development. Total Population: The total population added each year by a project derived by multiplying the number of homes to be constructed by the number of persons per household (see Section 1). School Population: The total number of school children added each year by a project derived by multiplying the number of ho=nes constructed by the number of children per household (see Section 1). Additional County Employees: The number of additional employees required per service category based on project development. Total: Total of all additional county employees required based on project development. School District Additional Employees: The number of additional employees required per school district based on the project development. SECTION 4 - PROJECTED NET FISCAL IMPACT ON COUNTY Tax Base: The tax base represents the increase in assessed property value expected each year resulting from project development. The values shown are in $1,000's and are derived from a formula which includes the G:robert /bradfisc.doc /may99 /rpd 28 number and sales price of homes, and the assessment ratio. Where applicable, the percentage of non - elderly units and elderly exemption are also used. Revenues: All revenues are derived from a formula which multiplies the per capita revenues (Section 2) times the projected population (Section 3). The exception to this is the property tax which multiplies the tax base times the county government tax rate. Expenditures: All expenditures are derived from a formula which multiplies the per employee expenditure (Section 2) times the number of additional employees (Section 3). Net Fiscal Impact: The net balance is the difference between projected expenditures and projected revenues. A negative net balance indicates that it costs Orange County'more to provide services to a project than it receives in revenues. A positive net balance indicates that more revenues are received than it costs to serve a project. Positive net balances in one project may thus be used to offset negative balances in another. SECTION 5 - PROJECTED NET FISCAL D"ACT ON SCHOOL DISTRICT Revenues: The County contribution is derived by transferring education expenditures by County government (Section 4). Revenues derived from the school district tax are derived by multiplying the school district tax times the tax base. State revenues are derived by multiplying the per student expenditure figure times the total projected number of school children (Section 3). Expenditures: Expenditures are derived from a formula which multiplies each per student expenditure (Section 2) times the total projected number of school children (Section 3) and adding the results. Net Fiscal Impact: The net balance is the difference between projected expenditures and projected revenues. A negative net balance indicates that it costs the school system more to provide educational services for children in a project than it receives in revenues. A positive net balance indicates that more revenues are received than it costs to serve a project. Positive net balances in one project may thus be used to offset negative balances in another.

PAPA trill li ILM U. r 1 1 5XI L�m RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Date of Meeting August 17, 1999 Name of Subdivision Bradford Ridge Owner /Applicant Christopher Road Realty, Inc. (Kevin Huggins - agent) The Board of County Commissioners hereby approves Bradford Ridge Subdivision Preliminary Plat, dated March 30, 1999, and revised on April 8, 1999, and May 18, 1999, and containing 22 lots, subject to the fulfillment of requirements specified herein.

Approval of Bradford Ridge Road as a Class A private road is in consideration for dedication of five (5) acres of wildlife corridor by the developer.

The location of the travelway within the platted private road right -of -way shall also be certified.
