PURPOSE: To consider appointing interested individuals to the NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Small
Area Plan Task Force..
BACKGROUND: On .June 27, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Planning and
Economic Development staff to begin a process to develop a Small Area Plan far an area in and around
the Orange County Speedway, including a ga-cart track, an asphalt plant, and a bedrock quarry. Since
that time staff has sent letters of invitation to property owners in the study area and to representatives of
Person and Durham County to review the intent and process for this project.
Two neighborhood meetings have been held on July 13 and August 3 to solicit interest in the task force
and to begin to identify issues, opportunities and constraints, and a vision for the study,
The purpose of this taskforce is to discuss the issues surrounding the passible establishment of a new
zoning and land use district/designation for the area along NC Hwy 57. The taskforce will address local
nonresidential and owners' concerns pertaining to existing non-conforming and future land uses as well
as expand rural economic development opportunities within the area.

Issues Comments
Development More information on what is going on at the Speedway, but
would like to keep things as they are.
• Enough development.
• Residents are not interested in getting used to something
new.
Major safety hazards Noise and traffic are of great concern.
• Traffic is a problem.
• Large trucks and R.V,s cannot access the existing
commercial properties and have to park along the highway
and create more problems.
• The Speedway, during race days, generates excessive
traffic from the site, many drunk drivers who often speed
and litter the roadside
• The noise during the races is unbelievable and a real
nuisance to the point that people cannot sleep during night
racin times.
Soils Study Area soils do not percolate well,
• There are no new acce table ercolation sites.
Speedway/Go-Carts What do the racetrack owners want?
• Go-Cart owners would like to see other opportunities.
• They would like to find out what would be acceptable and
work with Orange County to accomplish those
0 ortunities.
Ground Water Water quality is a problem in the area,
• The well water is very bad and many of the area wells
have a red color roblem.
Opportunities and
Constraints Comments
Traffic Improvements • Does change to commercial zoning create a district that
might require a widening of NC 57?
• Widening NC 57 would cause great problems because
many well and septic systems are located very close to the
road,
• Development might not require widening, but it could
facilitate other improvements such as left turn and de-
celeration lanes.
• Any road improvements will be on the developer's
property, Orange County will not condemn property for
road improvements to widen NC 57, It will not be a County
initiative.
New Businesses Businesses with low water usage could be welcomed.
• Businesses, which are complimentary to the Speedway,
could be acceptable.
• The stora e facilit would be oka if nothin than es.
