2
• Fourth Action — The BOCC reviews and takes action on the Preliminary Plat
application.
• Fifth Action — Per UDO Section 2.15.4, once all construction activities are completed,
or appropriate performance guarantees are approved, the Planning Director shall take
action on an application solely to affirm conformity with all applicable regulations and
any established conditions, and approve the recordation of a Final Plat, allowing for
the individual lots to be created.
The Preliminary Plat application was provided to the State Clearinghouse for courtesy review on
February 8, 2024. Planning staff reviewed the State Clearinghouse comments, as they pertain to the
Major Subdivision project area, and did not identify areas of significant concern.
Proposal: The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Plat (Attachment 1) to develop 15 single-family
residential lots with approximately 35% (+/-9.95 acres) of dedicated open space, consistent with the
open space requirements for a flexible development subdivision. The plat is compliant with all
Orange County UDO's subdivision standards, and no objection or comment was identified by the
DAC to the Preliminary Plat's approval (Attachment 4). Additional information and staff analysis
regarding the proposal is contained in Attachment 2.
Planning Board Recommendation:
The Planning Board received and reviewed the Preliminary Plat application at its April 3, 2024,
meeting and voted 8-1 to recommend approval of the preliminary plat (Attachment 1). Excerpts
of the minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment 5. Agenda materials from the
meeting can be viewed at:
https://www.orangecountVnc.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/ 04032024-1983
Planning Director's Recommendation:
The Planning Director recommends that the Board of County Commissioners:
1) Consider the matter for action;
2) Review the staff report (Attachment 2), featuring analyses of UDO compliance and

INTRODUCTION & SITE DESCRIPTION
A detailed soil and site evaluation was performed on 15 lots proposed for the Lawrence Road
Subdivision, Lawrence Road, Hillsborough, NC (Orange County PIN: 9883194355). Wood Soil
Consultants, PLLC (WSC) was retained to perform a detailed soil and site evaluations of the 15
lots to determine if there is sufficient Provisionally Suitable soil for Conventional Type or Low-
Profile Chamber systems for at minimum, a 4-bedroom home, ideally a 5-bedroom home. The
study area had been partially evaluated in a November 21, 2021 Reconnaissance Soil & Site
Evaluation performed by WSC. The property was evaluated in accordance with the "Laws and
Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems", amended December 6, 2018.
The area is mostly open field with some woods on the eastern fringes of the study area and along
southern boundary.
INVESITGATION METHODOLOGY
The field survey was conducted on December 4 and 6, 2023 by Michael G. Wood, LSS and
Ethan T. Wood. Soil borings were advanced with hand-augers and soil color determined using a
Munsell Soil Color Chart. Observations of the landscape as well as soil properties (depth,
texture, structure, soil wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) were recorded. Soil borings were
described per the USDA-NRCS, Field Bookfor Describing and Sampling Soils, Version 3.0. Soil
borings and site features are noted in Figure 1.
FINDINGS
Thirty (30) soil borings, two each on the 15 lots, were advanced, and their locations noted on
Figure 1. The minimum bedroom capacity is provided in Table 1.

Lawrence Road Septic Suitability Report December 11, 2023
10
It may be possible to increase each 4-bedroom lot to a 5-bedroom, but this will require a
drainfield layout. A drainfield layout will also be required on every lot in order to determine the
drainfield specifications; trench width,trench depth, LTAR, drainfield type (Accepted, Low-
Profile Chamber, Panel block, etc.), etc.
In order to perform the drainfield layout, the following items will be required:
• The property lines and corners will be flagged in the field by a surveyor.
• The house box will be clearly staked on each lot.
• Any additional site improvements, such as a pool, should be staked.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings presented herein represent our professional opinion based on our Septic Suitability
Evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and rules governing on-site wastewater systems in
Orange County and North Carolina. There is ample soil to accommodate at minimum a 4- or 5-
bedroom house on each of the 15 lots.
Soils naturally change across a landscape and contain many inclusions. As such, attempts to
quantify them are not always precise and exact. Due to this inherent variability of soils and the
subjectivity when determining limiting factors, there is no guarantee that a regulating authority
will agree with the findings of this report. Any concurrence with the findings of this report will
be made by regulating authority at the time of Improvement Permit issuance.

CASE: SUB23-0098
PIN: 9883-19-4355
WATERSHED: Lower Eno Protected and Lower Eno Unprotected (Neuse River Basin)
PROJECT: Williams Glen (formerly Lawrence Road)
SUBJECT: Summary of Findings Regarding Conformance with Orange County
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for Erosion & Sedimentation
Control and Stormwater Management
This memo summarizes the Development Services Erosion Control and Stormwater
Management Division's (hereafter, the "Division's) assessment of the submitted
application for a Major Subdivision Concept Plan (SUB), submitted as the "Williams Glen"
project (hereafter, the "project"). The project is located within 28.17 acres of property
located along Lawrence Road and US HWY 70A.
The request proposes development consisting of:
■ New 15-lot flexible subdivision (residential)
■ New public entrance road (50-ft right-of-way)
The Staff comments contained herein are based upon a Subdivision Plan dated October
30, 2023. These findings should not be interpreted as the Division's final
analysis/approval of the proposed development. Upon zoning approval, the proposed
development would then be required to submit a Land Disturbing Permit (LDP) which
would formally review and approve development activity consistent with the Site Plan.
Erosion & Sedimentation Control (E&SC):
Based on the submitted materials for the proposed development, the project could meet
the Erosion and Sedimentation Control requirements as required by Orange County UDO
Section 6.15 and could be developed as generally proposed. The proposal will also
Page 1 of 2
Orange County Government I www.orangecountync.gov 1 919.732.8181
31
require an Army Corps PCN 404/401 application for stream buffer impact and issuance
of Orange County buffer impact authorization certificate for the planned stream crossing.
Stormwater Management:
The submitted materials indicate a level of development that could meet current UDO
requirements specific to stormwater management. Five (5) permanent Stormwater
Control Measures (SCMs) are proposed; specifically, "SCM #11", "SCM #2", "SCM #3",
"SCM #4" and "SCM #5". Only the general locations and preliminary calculations for the
proposed SCMs have been provided, with no supporting calculations. The project will
need to meet applicable stormwater management requirements as outlined in Section
6.14 of the Orange County UDO and must be in general conformance with the North
Carolina Stormwater Design Manual (i.e., Minimum Design Criteria).
Conclusion:
The Division has No Objections to the approval of the SUB application so long as a
complete LDP application and supporting plans and calculations are submitted for review,
processing, and approval prior to commencement of on-site Land-Disturbing Activity. As
the project progresses, additional field observations, additional permitting by others (e.g.,
US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Environmental Quality, NC Department
of Transportation, etc.), additional buffers, setbacks, and/or additional Orange County
review and permitting may apply beyond the proposed development as shown with this
SUB application.

23 AGENDA ITEM 8: MAJOR SUBDIVISION CONCEPT PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT—To review and take action on
24 a Concept Plan and Preliminary Plat application for a Major Subdivision named Williams Glen. The proposal is
25 for a 15-lot subdivision on approximately 28.17 acres with 35% (9.95 acres) of dedicated open space. The
26 parcel is located on Lawrence Road in the Eno Township, PIN 9883-09-8108.
27
28 Ashley Moncado: The next item is for you to review is a Major Subdivision Concept Plan and Preliminary
29 Plat application for the Williams Glenn Subdivision on approximately 28 acres. The site is undeveloped and
30 located within the Rural Residential zoning district and Lower Eno Unprotected Watershed. Surrounding
31 parcels are zoned as R1, R2 and R4. Parcels to the north and to the east are undeveloped. Parcels to the
32 south and to the west contain single-family homes and there is church directly west of the existing site. The
33 parcels is classified as 20-Year Transition Area in the Orange County Future Land Use Map, and it is classified
34 as Mixed Residential Neighborhood in the Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan. The applicant is
35 proposing a Flexible Major Subdivision, including 15 single-family homes. The average lot size is 1.12 acres.
36 Based on the Conservation Cluster of Flexible Development Option, they are required to provide, at least, 33
37 percent open space. The applicant is proposing 35 percent open space or 9.95 acres. The subdivision is
38 planning to meet the setback standards of the R1 zoning district. A 20-foot Type A landscape buffer is being
39 provided along the southern parcel line and a 30 foot Type B landscape buffer is provided on the western
40 property line along Lawrence Road. Access is being provided by a 50-foot public right of way, and the site will
41 also be served by individual wells and septics. For existing conditions on this site, and we do have the larger
42 Lawrence Road site, here, for review tonight. So please be mindful the actual subdivision, being located down
43 here in this quadrant. There's an existing tree line. There is also a stream located on the existing site that
44 would require a 65-foot buffer. I was going to move on to the site analysis, zoomed in to the actual site, the
45 actual parcel related to the subdivision. You can see the stream here, as well as a 65-foot stream buffer. The
46 lighter yellow includes areas with a slope of 7.5 to 15 percent, and this pink-reddish color here includes a slope
47 of greater than 25 percent. The Primary Open Space totals 1.09 acres, and includes the stream. The stream
48 buffer area and the little pocket of slope, there. The Secondary Open Space totals 8.86 acres and includes the
49 areas around the proposed lots along the northern end, the western side, and the southern side of the site and
50 includes the remaining areas. It's been identified by yellow for slope. And then, here, we have the Concept
35
APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS 5.1.24
51 Plan. We can see the 15 lots, the lot lines, possible building location footprints. Wells are identified by the
52 blue dots. Potential septic areas are identified by the green polka dots at the rear of the lots. We can also see
53 the 50-foot public right of way that is being proposed to provide access to all the proposed single-family
54 homes, and that does include an 18-foot travel way that will be in that public right of way. Finally, there is also
55 20-foot wide pedestrian access corridor, which will be connected to the cul-de-sac, running north to connect to
56 the northern parcel, which would be the future home of the recreational facilities that were affiliated with SUP
57 that was approved by the Board of Adjustment. We have the Preliminary Plat, which you'll notice is very
58 similar to the Concept Plan on the last slide. Again, we can see the lot lines. We can see the setbacks that
59 are being proposed based on the R1 zoning district. Landscape buffer is being identified on the western side,
60 as well as the southern side of the parcel. Stream and stream buffer and stormwater control measures are
61 being identified here with circles, on the Preliminary Plat. The Preliminary Plat also identifies 20-foot-wide
62 drainage and access easements along the northern part of the parcel here. It kind of cuts between these two
63 lots along the southern side of the proposed lots. The Concept Plan for this application was presented at the
64 January 18th DAC. The Preliminary Plat was presented at the February 15th DAC. Comments are provided
65 in your agenda packets. The Neighborhood Information Meeting was coordinated by the applicant and held on
66 February 13th. The NIM report is in your packets as well. This is where we kind of get a little different from
67 the last application and what Taylor hinted at earlier this evening. Tonight, you will receive and review the
68 Concept Plan; approve the Flexible Development Option; and then you'll be looking at reviewing the
69 Preliminary Plat and providing a recommendation on the Preliminary Plat to the BOCC. The Planning Director
7o recommendation in front of you tonight, is to receive and discuss the Concept Plan application; approve the
71 Flexible Development Option contained in Attachment 1; and then receive the Preliminary Plat application and
72 recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, as submitted.
73
74 Statler Gilfillen: I am the Eno Village representative to the Planning Board. Lawrence Road is a street.
75 It's one of the only bypasses of Hillsborough, and we're all aware of the traffic congestion and the problems
76 that we have. Each time that you add a new access to Lawrence Road, you begin to control or potentially
77 even make it more dangerous going up and down Lawrence Road. I have some serious qualms, not with the
78 development itself, with providing two immediate accesses to Lawrence Road. When I look at this, as a
79 licensed architect, with over 40 years of experience in planning and design, why it is really necessary to design
80 this to have two accesses that close together, with individual cars coming out of each one of those streets will
81 slow and congest the traffic along Lawrence Road? I have serious problems with the design as it's presented,
82 not the concept of what he's trying to do. Thank you.
83
84 Phil Koch: So I'm very familiar with layout from the SUP, as well as from this, and the two things are
85 actually separate items, and the DOT has required turn lanes for the access that's above, that's going into the
86 ball field area, play area, all of that that is involved in the athletic association and a separate entrance here.
87 And they have reviewed this entrance. They are in agreement that this is the best spot for the entrance. I have
88 looked at it with them out on the site. They have actually stated this, I believe, even when the SUP was going
89 through that this was an acceptable entrance, and now they've come back, and they've met with us in the field
90 and said this is where they want the entrance to be. It is near where the church entrance is, and they did not
91 want these lots coming out on to the roadway north. They did not want it to tie to the one for the ball field.
92
93 Statler Gilfillen: What's their logic for that?
94
95 Phil Koch: They wanted to go ahead and bring out to Lawrence Road.
96
97 Adam Beeman: Do you know if the road for the athletic fields, is that a private road or public? I believe it's
98 private, but I'm not positive.
99
36
APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS 5.1.24
100 Cy Stober: It's a Type A private road. The subdivision road will be publicly dedicated and maintained
101 by North Carolina DOT.
102
103 Adam Beeman: So you can't have a public tied to a private.
104
1o5 Phil Koch: And I will add that for the number of lots that are here, this must be a public road.
106
107 Marilyn Carter: I have a question about the DAC comments. One of the comments refers to the lot sizes
108 and concept wastewater disposal areas prohibit the department's siting private wells on each lot, according to
109 the setback requirements of Orange County, and then a community well may be a solution, otherwise
110 permitting is subject to denial. Where's the impact of that item in the DAC report on the plan?
111
112 Phil Koch: That comment was made at the original DAC. These locations, as they're currently
113 shown, actually address that comment and were sent back and have been reviewed, and they do meet the
114 standards now.
115
116 Delores Bailey: What size will the houses be?
117
118 Phil Koch: I don't know the exact size of the house. The way that we set this up, I believe, I think it's
119 a 7,500 square foot block. That's not the house size. That's just the pad. So it was a proportion of that pad. 1
120 can't tell you the exact size of the house. And, again, part of that will be defined also by the septic field.
121
122 MOTION BY Lamar Proctor to approve the Concept Plan Flexible Development Option as included in
123 Attachment 1. Seconded by Marilyn Carter. Adam Beeman, Lamar Proctor, Delores Bailey, Beth Bronson,
124 Marilyn Carter, Chris Johnston, Steve Kaufmann, and Whitney Watson in favor. Statler Gilfillen against.
125
126 MOTION PASSED EIGHT TO ONE.
127
128 Ashley Moncado: The Preliminary Plat is in Attachment 2 of your materials.
129
13o Beth Bronson: The proposed stormwater control measures are just five different areas of where that
131 would be added to? Can you elaborate on what management plan you have —
132
133 Phil Koch: Those are, again, those are State mandated. Location is based on the actual contours on
134 the site. We've placed these in the low area so that we can direct water to them. The actual sizing will be
135 done based on State requirements. The County has its own requirements. They generally match the State's
136 for the most part, but we work with them pretty heavily on these things. So, they do have to meet that before
137 they'll get approval.
138
139 Beth Bronson: I see that the Primary Open Space on the Concept Plan versus the Preliminary, is the
140 1.09 acres for Primary and then 8.86 for the Secondary Open Space?
141
142 Ashley Moncado: Yes.
143
144 Beth Bronson: Is there any reason why you would not have done a conservation easement, like, working
145 with the neighboring or adjacent properties on maintaining open space, rather than choosing to have the HOA
146 do it themselves?
147
148 Phil Koch: This is typical of any subdivision, is that the HOA actually is involved in doing the
149 maintenance of the open space, including all the SCMs that are involved here. In this case, because this is all
37
APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS 5.1.24
150 within an integrated area, it's basically, because of that. The HOA would have to maintain the SCMs. In that
151 case, they're just going to go ahead and handle the rest of the open space.
