63 AGENDA ITEM 7: LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS TO EXPAND HILLSBOROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA - 64
Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan Amendment & Orange County 65
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment - To review and make a recommendation to the BOCC on 66
land use map amendments to expand the Hillsborough Economic Development area south of Interstate 40 in the 67
vicinity of Old Highway 86. 68 PRESENTER: Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor. 69
70
Tom Altieri explained that the Planning Board was only being asked to review and not make a recommendation to the 71
BOCC this evening because the Town of Hillsborough’s public hearing on this matter was postponed from January 72
due to snow and would be taking place February 15. Generally, the county likes to hear from the town first. He noted 73
the discussion involves the town’s water and sewer services and the county wants to hear the town’s thoughts, some 74
of which the county has heard previously due to the adjacent Settler’s Point property. Tom Altieri also said the county 75
wants to be careful that this process isn’t confusing to the public. He noted that paper copies of the revised 76
recommendation from the planning director were in front of the Planning Board members. The discussion this 77
evening would be purely informational. He reviewed that he would give a brief PowerPoint presentation and share a 78
timeline of events. 79
80
Tom Altieri reviewed that there is the Central Orange Coordinated Area and Orange County Comprehensive Plan. 81
The county has plans to extend infrastructure south of I-40 along Old N.C. 86 and there is interest in preserving those 82
resources for nonresidential uses. The town has expressed interest in that as well. Businesses look for sites already 83
correctly zoned. Land receives a zoning designation for economic development opportunities and for consistency. 84
85
Lydia Wegman asked if the town supports nonresidential uses. Do we know that? Tom Altieri answered I think in 86
general we know that. Most particularly in this area, this would be the southern most extent of water and sewer 87
services and I think if possible the town would like to not have any residential at all. 88
89
Planning Director Craig Benedict added that sewer systems flow downhill by gravity adjacent to streams. This 90
extension would go to the ridgeline. The ridgeline is the limit to sewer service in that area. The other side of the 91
ridgeline involves joint planning with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Regarding the question Lydia Wegman posed about 92
what type of use, the county has an inter-local agreement with the Town of Hillsborough for extension to the south. 93
That agreement does not include this area. Hillsborough has some input regarding what goes in this area. The 94
agreement we have now says the land in this area is for light industrial, so it’s not for residential. It’s more 95
complicated than usual in that Hillsborough has the water and sewer services and the county has the economic 96
development area. 97
98
Tom Altieri shared a timeline in his presentation from June 2017, when the county put forth water and sewer 99
boundary map amendments, to February 2018, when county staff met with Hillsborough Planning Director Margaret 100
Hauth to coordinate a restart of the Economic Development area expansion and agreement on future land uses. 101
102
Tom Altieri shared a map of the Hillsborough primary service area. Craig Benedict indicated I-40, Davis Road, the 80 103
acres and 14 acres on opposite sides of the road, and the ridgeline. 104
105
Paul Guthrie asked if the Town of Hillsborough is prepared to serve everything up to that ridgeline. Tom Altieri 106
answered everywhere in the map. This area is outside the map. 107
108
Craig Benedict said if we want it to be used for economic development, then we will expand the agreement. He 109
reviewed that the county also has inter-local agreements with Mebane and the City of Durham. 110
7
111
Paul Guthrie said so the short answer is no. Craig Benedict affirmed that. 112
113
Tom Altieri reviewed that the Joint Land Use Plan is about the future, long-term vision, with coordination around the 114
fringe, using a variety of urban-style land use categories and some rural. The text and map form the “plan.” The 115
Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is also about the future, long-term vision. It is county-116
wide, consistent with joint plans, has broad categories of land uses, including many rural uses. Text and map form 117
the “plan.” 118
119
Tom Altieri said there is no rezoning proposed today but the staff proposal would be to apply Suburban Office 120
Complex zoning to the expanded area. Office and employment enterprises that don’t rely on walk-in customers are 121
allowed in that zoning designation. He knows the town had expressed some concern about too much retail. That’s 122
one reason this land use category is being proposed. 123
124
Tom Altieri said the proposed amendment would be to expand the county’s economic development area to include 125
these approximately 89 acres which involve 20 parcels. 126
127
Craig Benedict reviewed that Rural Buffer is also a zoning category, allowing one residential unit per 2 acres. There 128
are some non-residential uses that can go in the rural areas like kennels (approved through a quasi-judicial process). 129
130
Lydia Wegman asked if there are residences along Davis Road. Tom Altieri said there are some. He thinks there are 131
four residences on Davis Road and some along Scarlett Mountain Road. 132
133
Lydia Wegman asked for confirmation that there is no one living on the rectangular parcel along Davis Road. Tom 134
Altieri answered no and it is 12 acres. Craig Benedict noted the owners of that parcel were attending this evening’s 135
meeting. 136
137
Kim Piracci asked about green blobs on the map, which seemed random. Tom Altieri explained they are not random. 138
They indicate historic sites, preservation of a species, flood plains, etc. Craig Benedict added those are flags to look 139
at in the zoning area or on a future site plan as possible protected areas. 140
141
Tom Altieri reviewed the map, indicating areas where no rezoning is proposed. He reviewed areas in purple are 142
already zoned EDH4, EDH5. Craig Benedict said the purples to the north are now part of the Settler’s Point 143
conditional zoning district. 144
145
Lydia Wegman asked that before any future non-residential activity took place on the parcels up for discussion this 146
evening, the zoning would have to precede it. Tom Altieri confirmed that is right. 147
148
Craig Benedict said let me restate that. Orange County can suggest a zoning and land use change. The county isn’t 149
doing that here because it is in the interest of the residents and local governments involved to know what would be 150
put there. That’s a zoning process. See the zoning category and the uses that are in there. If someone was to do a 151
master plan development conditional zoning, there would be a rudimentary site plan. For a typical conventional 152
zoning from R1 to EDH5, they don’t have to say it’s an X, Y, Z store. With conditional zoning, they have to show 153
where roads are, environmental areas and follow an abridged list of uses. 154
155
Lydia Wegman asked again that landowners of those 20 parcels now can build low-density residential. 156
157
Craig Benedict said correct. If people want to do low-density residential, they can. 158
159
Hunter Spitzer asked if any other uses were considered other than Suburban Office Complex. 160
161
Tom Altieri answered yes, Employment was considered but that would allow walk-in customers so we determined 162
Suburban Office Complex was preferred. Another option could be a 10- or 20-year transition area with high-density 163
residential and we know the town is opposed to high-density residential in this area. 164
165
8
Craig Benedict added the Employment zoning designation would also have more traffic than the Suburban Office 166
Complex designation. 167
168
Paul Guthrie asked where the high-transition line is located. Craig Benedict indicated it on the map, at the top of the 169
straight yellow section. Paul Guthrie asked about its future. Craig Benedict said we don’t know and it’s not in our 170
control. Paul Guthrie said he asks that because the tower by the road has become a transition line tower with a great 171
many feeds. Craig Benedict said 20 years ago, people didn’t think you could put cell phone towers on those transition 172
line towers and now you see those antennae. 173
174
Tom Altieri reviewed that next steps include additional coordination with town staff to schedule and hold a joint public 175
information meeting. The Planning Board recommendation and BOCC decisions would be rescheduled. The 176
Hillsborough Planning Board will discuss the zoning of this land on February 15. The town and county boards of 177
commissioners have a joint meeting February 22. 178
179
Tom Altieri said these amendments are based on the premise that the county wants to expand the economic 180
development district. If something different comes from those two boards, then staff will change direction. 181
182
Buddy Hartley asked why the town does not want residential usage for its water and sewer. 183
184
Tom Altieri answered the town does not want residential in this area because of traffic concerns in Hillsborough and 185
an interest in focusing on in-fill development with the approved Collins Ridge development and the potential 186
redevelopment of Daniel Boone. The town is sensitive to additional residential for this area. 187
188
Craig Benedict said the counter argument is that Hillsborough’s strategic planning process regarding that growth ring 189
around town, before Waterstone existed, was that the town didn’t want any residential north of town because people 190
would be trying to get to interstates 85 and 40, so there was interest in putting residential south of town. Now, 191
Hillsborough’s argument is they have interest in walkability. If residential were allowed on this land being discussed 192
tonight, you’d have this satellite community south of I-40 that didn’t have continuity with this compact urban form. If 193
the county could provide water and sewer, we would suggest residential that is senior housing to fulfill a need. It 194
would have to be higher density residential -- perhaps people who live there and get on the interstate to go to work 195
and maybe go to a restaurant in Hillsborough. 196
197
Lydia Wegman asked if anyone has questions or comments. 198
199
Nathan Robinson addressed the board. He says he owns a 14-acre parcel in this area in discussion. He said we 200
originally bought it to build single-family houses there. He said we don’t want to get stuck with property that we can’t 201
build houses on and isn’t zoned for economic development. He said he has talked with Craig Benedict. 202
203
Kim Piracci asked Nathan Robinson why he didn’t sell it to Settler’s Point. Nathan Robinson answered that the 204
Settler’s Point developers wanted to look at it for two years and only pay us $5,000 for that time. 205
206
Adam Beeman asked Nathan Robinson if he would have to perk the land out now to build houses. Nathan Robinson 207
answered yes. Adam Beeman asked for confirmation that the Settler’s Point developers don’t want to give Nathan 208
Robinson residential access to his property. Nathan Robinson said that’s his understanding. 209
210
Craig Benedict showed on a map where Hillsborough water comes to now. 211
212
Nathan Robinson said he was thinking high-density residential to transition from Settler’s Point but there isn’t sewer. 213
There is a water line close by but he doesn’t know if he can tap on to it. 214
215
Paul Guthrie asked Craig Benedict to expand about the transition water line. He’s not so sure it’s a retail water line. 216
It’s an emergency water line to get water to Cary and Durham. 217
218
Craig Benedict answered they got close when OWASA needed water. Hillsborough had to flush the line. People in 219
that area cannot connect to that emergency line. There’s a similar one between Hillsborough and Durham. 220
9
221
Craig Benedict said a part of the overview in a public information meeting will be the perspective that the municipal 222
areas and economic development areas add up to only 16 percent of the county. We’re trying to balance that to 223
preserve the rural lifestyle of the other areas and to prevent sprawl, he said. He mentioned transit plans. 224
225
Kevin Nicholson addressed the board. He asked about exits in the county. At the Efland interstate exit, signs have 226
been out for years saying land for sale. You’d catch 85 and 40 traffic. Why wouldn’t you want to develop that? 227
228
Craig Benedict answered he would be meeting with a prospective buyer the following day. There is sewer under 229
construction that did create a problem for awhile in that area. 230
231
Kevin Nicholson said he lives a littler farther down Davis Road and wonders how the ridgeline affects him. What is 232
the future to the west? He doesn’t want water or sewer services. Craig Benedict answered in the short term and mid 233
term, there would be no public water and sewer there. It’s agricultural and low-density residential. 234
235
Tom Altieri said it’s outside the Town of Hillsborough’s service area. He would be happy to follow up with Kevin 236
Nicholson. 237
238
Kevin Nicholson asked what are the plans for Davis Road with this expansion. He has heard about the future 239
stoplight at the end of Davis Road and he wonders if the road will be widened. 240
241
Craig Benedict answered the county will work with DOT for any development. He foresees a traffic light and right and 242
left turn lane right at the end of Davis Road. There would be no expansion of Davis Road and no acquiring additional 243
right of way. 244
245
Lydia Wegman asked if there are any other questions. 246
247
Craig Benedict said there will be another public information meeting in the area. 248
249
Lydia Wegman encouraged those in the audience to go to the neighborhood information meeting if possible. 250
251
252 AGENDA ITEM 8: BOCC RETREAT UPDATE 253
Craig Benedict reported that the retreat was held a couple of weeks ago at Mapleview Farm. The morning discussion 254
was about financial sustainability for counties. There have been some changes in funding at the state level. 255
256
The second item was about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to developments in Orange County. 257
Those attending the retreat looked at the county’s existing zones. Orange County is fortunate to still have interstate-258
positioned properties. 259
260
When people look at properties, they want to know that the environmental issues are identified, the zoning is in place. 261
If you can get down the list, that’s how you can compete with other counties, he said. We’re going to talk about pre-262
zoning. When Orange County changed the Economic Development zones in the 1990s, they created Buckhorn 263
Economic Development area. 264
265
There are legislative, quasi-judicial, which does have standards. The third is administrative. Staff looks at the Unified 266
Development Ordinance and goes through prescription. 267
268
Craig Benedict reviewed that in the retreat discussion, there were other suggestions about process streamlining, pre-269
zoning and taking a look at our standards. He doesn’t think our standards are overburdening. 270
271
Randy Marshall asked if that portion of the meeting will be written up so that the Planning Board can read it. 272
273
Craig Benedict said he can gather the thoughts of the BOCC and share that. 274
275
10
Craig Benedict said we have underdeveloped economic development zones that have been on the maps since the 276
1980s. He said the railroad company won’t let anyone cross the economic development area at Buckhorn so it can 277
only be accessed at the ends. There is also interest in exploring creating mobile home parks in these areas. 278
279
Lydia Wegman asked Craig Benedict do you think you’ll be coming with ideas we might be able to consider. Craig 280
Benedict said yes and he can explain to the new Planning Board members why the county does things a certain way. 281
Sometimes the county makes some changes. We have probably the heaviest reliance on residential property tax and 282
lowest reliance of retail sales of anywhere around. Some of the sales taxes gained by the county goes back to 283
municipalities. The state formula for sharing sales tax revenue changed around 2008, to the county’s detriment. 284
285
Adam Beeman asked what the big hang-up is with drive-thru windows. Craig Benedict answered at one point it was 286
the idling of the cars causing pollution. Staff suggested standards of drive-thrus with location and noise. They are 287
allowed in some areas of the county and not in others. He thinks that needs to be addressed again. 288
289
Buddy Hartley asked if it was time to reevaluate the Efland area. Craig Benedict said that was mentioned in the 290
SWAT analysis. We’re seeing more interest with water and sewer in the Efland area. There’s a lot of work that’s been 291
done. 292

5. NIM Materials
PURPOSE: To review and make a recommendation on a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat
application proposing a residential development called Morgan Ridge. The proposal involves 0.65
acres adjacent to a 52-acre 16-lot single-family development located in Chatham County.
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting approval of a public road extension and right-of-way
dedication to connect to a planned public road (tentatively called Morgan Ridge Way). This area lies
within Orange County and contains the only frontage and feasible access onto a public road (Jones
Ferry Road SR 1942). The Orange County portion of this project would extend a 20 foot wide paved
road within a 50 foot wide right-of-way from the county line approximately 89 linear feet to connect to
Jones Ferry Road. Per Section 7.2 of the UDO, any dedication or improvement of a new public
street other than widening is classified as a Major Subdivision, and therefore must follow the Major
Subdivision process as outlined in Section 2.15 of the UDO. The basic facts concerning the
application are as follows:
Note: This request only involves the 0.65 acre portion of property within Orange County’s
jurisdiction. The remainder of the project lies within Chatham County’s Planning jurisdiction.
Subdivision elements involving this area are for contextual purposes only.

Staff Comment – DONE. This meeting was held on February 13, 2018. No
residents attended meeting.
• Second Action – The Planning Board reviews and takes action on the Preliminary
Plan application recommending approval or denial of the road extension.
13
Staff Comment. This review and recommendation will begin at the March 7,
2018 Planning Board meeting.
• Third Action – The BOCC reviews and takes action on the Preliminary Plat
application and proposed revisions.
Staff Comment. The review and decision to approve or deny the proposed road
extension and Preliminary Plan is scheduled for the April 3, 2018 BOCC regular
meeting.
• Fourth Action – Once all construction activities have been completed, or
appropriate bonds have been approved, staff will sign off and allow the recordation
of a Final Plat allowing for the individual lots to be recorded.
Proposal: The petitioner has submitted a request to the approve a Major Subdivision Preliminary
Plat application package (called Morgan Ridge). All the proposed single-family lots and most of the
common open space for this development is located within Chatham County.
The development proposes to:
1. Dedicate public right-of-way and build a NCDOT maintained public street (tentatively called
Morgan Ridge Way) across the Chatham-Orange County line to connect to Jones Ferry Road
(SR 1942);
2. Designate 0.45 acres of common open space within Orange County’s jurisdiction that would
be included with 0.11 acres within Chatham County, which would be held by a subdivision
HOA; and
3. Construct a mail kiosk and subdivision signs within the common open space area.

STAFF COMMENT – SUBDIVISION TYPES: The proposal does not conflict with Orange
County UDO requirements for subdivisions and is consistent with Orange County
Comprehensive Plan.
14
Roads: The applicant is proposing the creation of public road (20 foot wide asphalt pavement within
a 50 foot right-of-way) that would serve the proposed 16 single-family lots and common open space.
Because the project is split between two NCDOT Districts, the proposed road has been reviewed by
the NCDOT District Engineer Offices in Pittsboro and Graham. The location for the connection was
reviewed and deemed acceptable by both offices. Permitting and road construction oversight has
been assigned to the Pittsboro District Engineer’s Office. The road also requires a stream crossing
and Section 401/404 permits by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the NC Department
of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).
STAFF COMMENT - ROADS: Staff has determined that the proposed new roadway layout
is consistent with the requirements of the UDO, and given the surrounding topography and
existing roads, is likely the most desirable and safest location for a public street intersection.
Staff will continue to work with NCDOT and Chatham County during the review, approval
and permitting for this project. Both County offices will sign-off on the Final Plat prior to
recordation.
Utilities – Water and Sewer: The applicant is proposing to serve the project with individual wells
and septic systems developed on each lot. All are located in Chatham County.
STAFF COMMENT - UTILITIES: Orange County and Chatham County Environmental
Health Departments will coordinate and document the final locations for well and septic
areas along the county line.
Stormwater Drainage: Orange and Chatham County Storwater and Erosion Control have
coordinated regarding reviews and permits for temporary and permanent site drainage.
STAFF COMMENT - STORMWATER: Orange County Stornwater and Erosion Control Staff
have reviewed and issued Erosion Control and Stormwater Permits.
Open Space: The development calls for +/-.56 acres of common open space. These areas will be
maintained by a Homeowners Association.
STAFF COMMENT – OPEN SPACE: Staff has determined the proposed open space and
land use buffers meet the applicable requirements of the UDO.
Land Use Buffer: The development will require a 30-foot Type B land use buffer along Jones Ferry
Road.
STAFF COMMENT – LAND USE BUFFER: Section 6.8.6 (D) of the UDO requires that this
project maintain a thirty (30) foot land use buffer separating the project from adjacent
roadways. Staff has determined the proposed open space and land use buffers meet the
requirements of the UDO. This buffer will be shown on the final plat and inspected for
zoning compliance prior to recordation.
Staff Generated Correspondence: Attachment 3 contains the various comments for this project
as of the date of abstract preparation.
Joint Review: The property is not located within a defined Joint Planning Area (JPA). Staff has
however coordinated with Chatham County Planning regarding their review of the subdivision.
15
Chatham County Staff anticipates a determination by the Chatham County Commissioners in
April.
Analysis: As required under Section 2.15.2 (E) of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to:
‘prepare and submit a recommendation’ on the concept plan to the Planning Board for
consideration. In analyzing this request, the Planning Director offers the following:
1. The Preliminary Plat application has been deemed complete in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.2 and 2.15.2 of the UDO.
2. Staff has determined that the property is of sufficient size to support the proposed road
extension.
3. The proposal appears consistent with the various goals outlined within the
Comprehensive Plan concerning development, including:
a. Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern, and
designation of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities
sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County’s population and economy
consistent with other Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives.
b. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental
conditions and features and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, and
community character.
c. Land Use Goal 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program
and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimizes
land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system.
4. Staff has determined that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the provisions and
goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board:
1. Receive the Preliminary Plat application and proposed road extension,
2. Deliberate on the proposal, and
3. Recommend approval of the proposal.

Development Process, Schedule, and Action: The typical cadence for the review of a major
subdivision is as follows:
• First Action – Planning staff schedules a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM).
Staff Comment – DONE. This meeting was held on February 15, 2018.
• Second Action – The Planning Board reviews and takes action on the Preliminary
Plan application recommending approval of the changes to the approved ‘flexible
development’ layout.
Staff Comment. This review and recommendation will begin at the March 7,
2018 Planning Board meeting.
• Third Action – The BOCC reviews and takes action on the Preliminary Plat
application and proposed revisions.
Staff Comment. The review and decision to approve or deny the proposed
amendments to the approved Preliminary Plan is currently scheduled for the April 3,
2018 BOCC regular meeting.
• Fourth Action – Once all construction activities have been completed, or
appropriate bonds have been approved, staff will sign off and allow the recordation
of a Final Plat allowing for the individual lots to be recorded.
Proposal: The petitioner has submitted an amendment to the approved Major Subdivision
Preliminary Plat application package (called Triple Crown Farms), which was reviewed and approved
by the BOCC on June 17, 2014.
The amendment proposes to change:
1. The requirement to build the roads serving the single-family residential lots from a public road
to a private road standard.
2. The proposed asphalt pavement widths of the roads 20’ to 18’ wide.
3. The total area and number of single-family lots from 20 to 19 (Lots 9 and 10 from the original
plan were combined and recorded via an Exempt Subdivision via Plat Book 118 Page 21 with
the Orange County Register of Deeds and assigned PIN 9860-01-0141).
4. The provision for the potential Fire Pond to a provision to provide fire protection via a nearby
OWASA owned fire protection water line and hydrant.
Other than the above changes the amended plan keeps the same lot, road and, open space design
indicated in the original subdivision plan.
The applicant has decided to submit a Flexible Development layout with proposed lots adhering to
the 1 acre minimum lot size, and approximately 36.25 acres of Common Open Space. A summary
of the revised proposal is as follows:

proposed
(33%

the UDO)
STAFF COMMENT – SUBDIVISION TYPES: The proposal is in accordance with the anticipated
densities for properties located within the Rural Buffer land use category as defined within the
adopted Comprehensive Plan, Rural Designated area as denoted on the Growth Management
Systems Map, and the requirements of the Joint Planning Land Use Plan.
Roads: The applicant is proposing the creation of two private roads serving the proposed 19 single-
family residential lots and Open Space. Per Section 7.8.5 of the UDO the roads will have to be
constructed to appropriate private road standards. Specifically, the plan calls for:
• Two cul-de-sac roadways. The first roadway (tentatively named Secretariat Court) will
provide access to lots 12 through 19. The second roadway (tentatively named Gallant Fox
Crossing) will provide access to lots 2 through 11.
• Both roads require stream crossings and Section 401/404 permits by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and NC department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). These permits
have been obtained.
STAFF COMMENT - ROADS: Staff has determined that the proposed new roadway layout
is consistent with the requirements of the UDO. However, staff does recognize the
differences in construction and maintenance between public and private roads. Staff
recommends that the roads as proposed be reflected in a revised Private Road Maintenance
Agreement (RMA), and that the developer record a disclosure statement with the recordation
of the Final Plat. Both documents would acknowledge that the roads do not meet the
NCDOT design standards and would require significant improvements to meet those
standards if converted to public roads meeting the NCDOT design standards.
Staff also recommends that the developer finalize all temporary and final driveway permits
for the intersection of these private roads with Triple Crown Drive right-of-way and traffic
circle.
Utilities – Water and Sewer: The applicant is proposing to serve the project with individual wells
and septic systems developed on each lot.
STAFF COMMENT - UTILITIES: Orange County Environmental Health approved the
previous Preliminary Plat layout identifying septic and well locations for each proposed lot.
No significant changes are proposed.
129
Stormwater Drainage: Site drainage will be engineered according to Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) as provided with the subdivision’s approved Erosion Control and
Stormwater Permits.
STAFF COMMENT - STORMWATER: Orange County Stornwater and Erosion Control has
reviewed and issued Erosion Control and Stormwater Permits. They also conducted a Pre-
development meeting on-site prior to commencement of land disturbing activity.
Open Space: The flexible development plan denotes the maintenance of a 30-foot natural buffer
along Dairyland Road and a 100-foot building setback along the perimeter of the project. Open
space is identified open space in and around the existing streams. The total area reserved as open
space is approximately 1,678,305 square feet of land area or 38.53 acres. The proposed open
space is composed of existing, mature, vegetation and trees with an approximate height of between
50 to 70 feet.
STAFF COMMENT – OPEN SPACE: Staff has determined the proposed open space and
land use buffers meet the requirements of the UDO.
Land Use Buffer: The site plan indicates there will be a 30-foot buffer along Dairyland Road
comprised of existing, dense, vegetation composed of existing, mature, shrubs and trees with an
approximate height of between 50 to 70 feet.
STAFF COMMENT – LAND USE BUFFER: Section 6.8.6 (D) of the UDO requires that this
project maintain a thirty (30) foot land use buffer separating the project from adjacent
roadways. Staff has determined the proposed open space and land use buffers meet the
requirements of the UDO.
Staff Generated Correspondence: Attachment 3 contains the various comments for this project
as of the date of abstract preparation.
Analysis: As required under Section 2.15.2 (E) of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to:
‘prepare and submit a recommendation’ on the concept plan to the Planning Board for
consideration. In analyzing this request, the Planning Director offers the following:
1. The Preliminary Plat application has been deemed complete in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.2 and 2.15.2 of the UDO.
2. Staff has determined that the property is of sufficient size to support the proposed
subdivision.
3. The proposal appears consistent with the various goals outlined within the
Comprehensive Plan concerning development, including:
a. Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern, and
designation of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities
sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County’s population and economy
consistent with other Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives.
b. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental
conditions and features and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, and
community character.
130
c. Land Use Goal 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program
and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimizes
land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system.
4. Staff has determined that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the provisions and
goals of the Joint Planning Land Use Plan and Joint Planning Agreement.
5. Staff recommends that if the Planning Board recommends approval of the revised
Preliminary Plan that it consider also recommending conditions of approval that address
the Road Maintenance Agreement (RMA); Design Standards; and Disclosure Statements
regarding the private roads as outlined in this abstract.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board:
1. Receive the Preliminary Plat application,
2. Deliberate on the proposal, and
3. Recommend approval of the proposal, with the following suggested conditions:
a. The developer shall submit and record a Road Maintenance Agreement (RMA)
and a Disclosure Statement with the final plat. These documents shall
acknowledge and assign perpetual maintenance responsibility for the private
roads to the Homeowners Association. It shall also acknowledge that any future
effort to convert these roads from private to public would require significant
design changes, construction costs and additional permitting with Orange
County, NCDOT, USACE and NCDEQ.
b. The developer shall evidence that sufficient access to off-site water and fire
suppression devices have been obtained to the satisfaction of the Orange
County Fire Marshall.
