PURPOSE: To consider the Preliminary Plan for Charles' Woods Subdivision Phases 3 and 4.
BACKGROUND: The property is located off the east side of Dumont Drive (SR 1595) in Eno
Township. It is zoned AR and L- ENO -PW and designated Agricultural
Residential and Lower Eno Protected Watershed in the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The approved Concept Plan involved 52 lots with a total area of 81.2 acres
proposed to be subdivided. Phase 3 includes 31.33 acres with 5.49 acres in open
space. Eleven (11) lots are proposed which average 2.62 acres. Phase 4 includes
18.56 acres with 5.01 acres in open space. Nine (9) lots are proposed which
average 1.38 acres. All lots will have individual wells and septic tanks and all
roads are proposed to be public. Alex Drive will be the main road extending
northeast from Phase 1 and 2. Parker's Path will extend off Alex Drive in Phase 3
and Crabtree Creek Road extends off Alex Drive in Phase 4. Alex Drive
intersected with Dumont Drive which is off the south side of Saint Mary's Road.
A
The Planning Board approved the Concept Plan for Charles' Woods Subdivision
on May 15, 1995 before flexible development requirements. Phase 1 contained 15
lots and was approved March 14, 1996. Phase 2 contained 12 lots and was
approved April 17, 1997. These are the last two phases of the approved Concept
Plan. The subdivision layout is the same as approved on the Concept Plan. Lot
lines have been adjusted to obtain Health Department approval.
On June 3, 1998 the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the
Preliminary Plan for Charles' Woods Phases 3 and 4 subject to the conditions
contained in the attached Resolution of Approval.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for Charles'
Woods Phases 3 and 4 per the Planning Board recommendation.

FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR CHARLES' WOODS PHASES 3 8z 4
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE STANDARD APPROACH
Prepared by
The Orange County Planning Department
May, 1998
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Charles' Woods Subdivision Phases 3 & 4 contains 20 buildable lots and is located in
Eno Township. The lots are accessed by new public roads which will intersect with Dumont
Drive south of Saint Marys Road. The current zoning is AR Agricultural Residential. The
average lot size is approximately 2.62 acres in Phase 3 and 1.38 acres in Phase 4. Lots will
be served by individual wells and septic systems.
Project build -out is estimated at four years. Housing units will be constructed,
beginning in 1998, with completion of the project scheduled for 2001. Units will consist of
detached single - family homes, and the applicant estimates the average sales price to be
$180,000, 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.

evaluation are attachments to these minutes on pages . The
private roads are justified through open space protection, lower density than
the maximum allowed, and the subdivision's location in a protected
watershed.
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for MTK
Development with public and private roads according to the conservation
option of flexible development and the conditions contained in the
Resolution of Approval (an attachment to these minutes on pages ).
Barrows asked about access for the new lots 24 and 25. Cameron
responded that lot 24 will access Ritz Way and lot 25 will access Yates
Road. Cameron continued that only lots 20 and 25 will access Yates Road.
Barrows continued, asking about item #5 in the Resolution of Approval
which states that further subdivision may require upgrade of roads. She
noted that part of the justification for private roads was larger lots and the
applicant had indicated that there would be no further subdivision.
Cameron stated that with this on record, it would make anyone looking at
the recorded plat would know that further subdivision would require road
upgrades.
Price stated that she felt including the statement help to ensure or a double
check to assure it remains as a private road. She felt without this statement
in the resolution, the opportunity may be there for further subdivision.
Brooks asked if the statement of no further subdivision would be
included in the covenants and Cameron agreed that it would.
Allison asked if there are any issues related to siting a building because of
the ATT 100 -foot right -of -way which may be reduced by ATT later this
year to 33 feet. Cameron responded that ATT had indicated that later this
summer the right -of -way will be reduced to 33 -feet. She continued that
building and septic setbacks can be met with the 100 -foot right -of -way;
building on this lot is not contingent upon the reduction of the right -of -way.
Brooks asked the open space. Cameron responded that it is being called
conservation area and there will be stream buffers and setbacks.
Selkirk asked if there was a flowing stream or a wet weather stream. The
response was that it is flowing.
MOTION: Searles moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded
by Selkirk.
VOTE: Unanimous.

Residential and Lower Eno Protected Watershed in the Land Use Element
of the Comprehensive Plan.
The approved Concept Plan involved 52 lots with a total area of 81.2 acres
proposed to be subdivided. Phase 3 includes 31.33 acres with 5.49 acres in
open space. Eleven (11) lots are proposed which average 2.62 acres. Phase
4 includes 18.56 acres with 5.01 acres in open space. Nine lots are
proposed which average 1.38 acres. All lots will have individual wells and
septic tanks and all roads are proposed to be public. Alex Drive will be the
main road extending northeast from Phase 1 and 2. Parker's Path will
extend off Alex Drive in Phase 3 and Crabtree Creek Road extends off Alex
Drive in Phase 4. Alex Drive intersected with Dumont Drive which is off
the south side of St. Mary's Road.
The Planning board approved the Concept Plan for Charles' Woods
Subdivision on May 15, 1995 before flexible development requirements.
Phase 1 contained 15 lots and was approved March 14, 1996. Phase 2
contained 12 lots and was approved April 17, 1997. These are the last two
phases of the approved Concept Plan. The subdivision layout is the same as
approved on the Concept Plan. Lot lines have been adjusted to obtain
Health Department approval. Kirk noted that the Concept Plan had
contained 52 lots but Health Department approval required combination of
some lots so there was a loss of 5 lots. The entire subdivision plan now
contains 47 lots.
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for
Charles Woods Phases 3 and 4 per the Resolution of Approval (an
attachment to these minutes on pages ).
Discussion followed regarding open space requirements. It was pointed out
that there is 10.5 acres of open space in these two phases. However, the
Concept Plan for Charles Woods was approved prior to Flexible
Development.
MOTION: Hoecke moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded
by Walters.
VOTE: Unanimous.
