PURPOSE: To provide information on five issues raised at the November 6, 2002 BOCC
meeting concerning prior approval of the Tuscany Ridge Preliminary Subdivision.
BACKGROUND: The Tuscany Ridge Subdivision is a 22-lot development on 56 acres of land
in the Joint Planning Area (JPA) `Rural Buffer' along Arthur Minnis Road, west of Rocky Ridge
Road. The subdivision was processed as a major subdivision during the first and second
quarters of this year with the Board of County Commissioners granting approval on June 27,
2002.
Subsequent to BOCC approval in June, a number of issues arose from property owners either
residing or owning property in the general vicinity of the Tuscany Ridge development. A list of
citizen issues -- ranging from administrative approval procedures to adherence to sound
planning principals -- was raised at the Planning Board level. These issues were compiled, by
planning staff, into a document and the staff generated a response to each issue.
After the Planning Board meeting, a Special Presentation was provided at the BOCC August
20, 2002 regular meeting agenda for citizens to publicly address the BOCC with their concerns.
At that August meeting, staff presented the abovementioned list of citizen issues that were
raised at the Planning Board and citizens followed with these and some other concerns. Staff
from Planning, Environmental Health, NCDOT and County Engineer were involved in
generating responses to these issues.
Additional discussion occurred at the November 6, 2002 BOCC meeting to consider the
responses that were generated by Planning, Environmental Health, NCDOT, and the County
Engineer. In that meeting five additional concerns were noted and are in the process of being
addressed by appropriate agencies (see attached report page 3).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with additional discussion to
issues raised regarding the Tuscany Ridge subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive this information
with attachments and to direct the Manager to contact NCDOT to release hold on previously
scheduled improvements to the subject segment of Arthur Minnis Road.

`Greg Wilder- Re: Tuscany Ridge meeting with residents

Subject: Re: Tuscany Ridge meeting with residents
I have spoken with our District Engineer, C.N. Edwards. He has spoken to the residents in August of this
year on Arthur Minnis Road and the concerns that they have. These issues were resolved at that time.
Arthur Minnis Road has been removed from our current secondary road improvement plan. The
developer has requested an encroachment for this road dealing with grade, drainage, base and paving
and this encroachment has been approved. The developer is doing this because the Orange County
Planning Board has
required the road to be paved before the developer could continue with his subdivision.

> Nanette- The Orange County Commissioners met on November 6, 2002 and discussed concerns about
Tuscany Ridge Subdivision. In that meeting one of the concerns expressed was that NCDOT should meet
with the Residents to try to alleviate their problems and questions or concerns that have been expressed.
As we have discussed on the phone, I am writing to ask NCDOT to meet with the residents as requested
by the County Commissioners. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 919 245-2582. Thanks!
