NCDOT REVIEW NOTES FOR DHR
Bricewood Subdivision on SR 13S1 (Governor Scott Road))
16 September 1999
COMN ENTS & REQUIREMENTS:
1. Prior to construction of any new access or alteration of any existing access within the right of way, the
developer /owner is required to secure a permit with this office. It is the responsibility of the
owner /developer to obtain a permit. , .
2. The owner /developer should dedicate 10' x 70' Sight Triangles at each proposed intersection. Please
refer to the attached figure regarding the minimum design. Please note that the subject site has a
limited 400' to 420' of sight distance. Normally, the minimal sight distance for 55 -mph speed zone is
550'; therefore, we recommend the developer provide additional safety improvements and/or the
posted speed limit is lowered to 45 -mph.
3. We are concerned with the existing lake and how the owner is proposing to develop the roadway and
the lot. No part of the lake or dam is permitted within the right of way.
4. The proposed 50' right of way is an acceptable design; however, it has been our experience that the
owner /developer will have trouble maintaining the typical ditch section in the small right of ways. In
addition, we have received complaints from the local utility companies about the limited workspace.
Therefore, we recommend the owner /developer provide a 60' right of way or some type of an
additional easement along the roadway.
5. Prior to any construction, the owner.'developer will need to submit their final plans for review. The.
final plans should include the horizontal and vertical alignment information, a typical section, drainage
facilities, vicinity map, and the number of lots with the proposed driveway location.
6. The owner /developer should be aware of General Statute 136 - 102.2, in which new roads are not
eligible for the State Maintenance system unless certain requirements are met. An explanation of these
requirements can be found on pages 13,14 and 15 of the current (January 1999) NCDOT
Subdivision Roads Manual Particular attention should be placed on items 2 (petition for addition), 5
and 7 (occupied housing requirement), 11, 12, and 13.

FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR WINDFALL
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE STANDARD APPROACH
Prepared by
The Orange County Planning Department
February, 2000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bricewood Acres subdivision contains 15 buildable lots and is located in Cedar
Grove Township. The lots are accessed by new public roads which will intersect with
Gov. Scott Road. The current zoning is AR - Agricultural Residential. The average lot
size is approximately 1.63 acres. Lots will be served by wells and individual septic
systems.
Project build -out is estimated at two years. Housing units will be constructed,
beginning in 2000, 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 $120,000, 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.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND DATA SOURCES
SECTION 1 - PROJECT DATA
Project data includes information about the specific development project. Much,
if not all, of the information is supplied by the applicant. Data inputs include:
Project Name: Name of the project.
Township: Township in which the project is located.
School District: School district in which the project is located.
Beginning Year: The first year of the project in which dwelling units are completed and
occupied.
Ending Year: The last year in which dwelling units are completed and occupied. The
template is set to calculate fiscal impacts for a ten -year period.
Inflation Rate: Unless an inflation rate is entered, the template will calculate fiscal
impacts based on constant dollars. Since the inflation rate changes frequently, the
Finance Department must be contacted for the most recent figure.
Persons/Household: The estimated average number of personsthousehold (dwelling
unit) . based on 1990 Census data and studies of the number of students per
household for the school district in which the project is located. The most recent
studies include A Study of Housing Characteristics and Student Generation Rates for Orange
County, N.C. (1995) and Technical Report: Calculation of Propordonate Share Impact Fees
for Financing Public School Capital Needs, Orange County, N.C. (1996).
Children/Household: The estimated average number of school age
children/household (dwelling unit) based on studies of the number of students per
household for the school district in which the project is located. The most recent study
is A Study of Housing Characteristics and Student Generation Rates for Orange County, N. C.
(1995).
% Non - Elderly: N.C. General Statutes permit an $11,000 exemption to the elderly and
disabled who meet certain income criteria. In the event that elderly units are part of
the project, the percentage of eligible non -elderly units is entered. The tax base will
automatically be adjusted to reflect the exemption.
Number of Homes: The number of dwelling units to be constructed in the project in
each year.
21
Average Sales Price: The average sales price of all dwelling units based on the
number and sales price of dwelling unit types to be constructed in each year.
SECTION 2 - LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL DISTRICT DATA
Local government data includes information regarding expenditures required to
provide County services and revenues received based on the approved Orange County
budget for the fiscal year in which the project is considered for approval. All
information derived from the approved budget remains constant throughout a fiscal
year (July -June) and is changed only with the approval of a new budget.
Local government revenue and expenditure information is compiled on a per
capita (per person) basis. Per capita figures are derived by dividing the total
expenditures for a particular service function or revenue source by the estimated
population of Orange County for the year in which the project is considered for
approval. Populations estimates are prepared by the Planning Department.

Taxes - Other Than Property: Revenues from taxes other than property taxes include
those from sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, and animal taxes.
Intergovernmental Aid: Revenues from this source, in the form of categorical aid or
shared -tax revenues, are provided through State and federal assistance programs.

Education: Orange County supports two school units, the Orange County school
system and the Chapel Hill - Carrboro school system. This category includes
appropriations made to the designated school system for Recurring Capital items.
Recurring Capital funds are used for general maintenance, purchase of new
equipment/furnishings and vehicle maintenance.
Non - Departmental: Contributions to agencies providing cultural and social services
outside the formal structure of county government. Other expenditures include
equipment replacement and contingency funds. Although there are no employees
generated by this category, it has been included as an operating expenditure. It will be
included in Section 4, 'Total Annual County Expenditure." These expenditures will be
calculated on a per capita basis as opposed to a per employee basis.
Per.Student Expenditures: Information regarding expenditures required to provide
educational services and revenues received are based on the approved school system
budgets for the fiscal year in which the project is considered for approval. AII:
information derived from the approved budgets remains constant throughout a fiscal
year (July -June) and is changed only with the approval of new budgets.
Expenditure information is compiled on a per student basis for County Government
Current Expense, School District and State appropriations. County Government
Current Expense funds are used for general operation purposes including Instruction
and Support Services. Federal revenues and expenditures and other local revenues
such as Fund Balance have not been included since they are not directly growth
related. Per student figures are derived by dividing the total appropriation for
educational purposes from a particular source by the estimated number of students to
be enrolled in the applicable school system for the year in which the project is
considered for approval. Student enrollments are obtained from the approved school
system budgets.
County Government: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations to the
school systems by Orange County for Current Expense. The minimum level of per
student appropriation is determined by the State Board of Education.
School District: Expenditures in this category are unique to the Chapel Hill - Carrboro
school system and are based on the level of expenditures possible through assessment
of a supplementary school tax.
State: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations from the State Board
of Education.
School District Per Employee Expenditure: Expenditures per employee based on
County, School- District and State appropriations, and the total number of school
district employees.
Employees Per 1000 Population: The number of employees in a particular service
category per 1000 population.
County Per Employee Expenditure: The average operating and capital expenses per
employee in a particular service category. Total expenses in each category includes
personnel, operating and capital costs.
2,
Other Data:
County Government Tax Rate: The County tax rate per $100 of assessed valuation.
Since the per capita method focuses only on operating expenditures, the tax rate is
reduced by an amount equal to the debt service payments from property taxes for
capital projects.
School District Tax Rate: The supplementary tax assessed on behalf of the Chapel
Hill- Carrboro school system.
Assessment Ratio: The ratio of market (sales) value to assessed value based on
information supplied by the Tax Office. The assessment ratio is used to convert market
value to assessed value for the purpose of computing the tax base.
Other Model Constants
Elderly Exemption: For projects developed partially or exclusively for elderly (65 and
older) or disabled individuals whose annual income does not exceed $12,000, afv
$11,000 tax exemption is used in projecting the tax base.
School District Employees Per Student: The number of employees per student in a
specific school district.
SECTION 3 - DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS BASED ON PROJECT DATA
Demographic projections provide information about the number of new residents and
school children anticipated in Orange County resulting from project development.
Projections also provide the number of additional employees required per service
function and school district as a result of the new development.
Total Housing Units: The cumulative total of new housing units added each year by
project development.
Total Population: The total population added each year by a project derived by
multiplying the: number of homes to be constructed by the dumber of persons per
household (see._Section .1).
School Population: The total number of school children added each year by a project
derived by multiplying the number of homes constructed by the number of children
per household (see Section 1).
Additional County Employees: The number of additional employees required per
service category based on project. development.
Total: Total of all additional county employees required based on project development.
4,"
School District Additional Employees: The number of additional employees required
per school district based on the project development.
SECTION 4 - PROJECTED NET FISCAL IMPACT ON COUNTY
Tax Base: The tax base represents the increase in assessed property value expected
each year resulting from project development. The values shown are in $1,000's and
are derived from a formula which includes the number and sales price of homes, and
the assessment ratio. Where applicable, the percentage of non - elderly units and elderly
exemption are also used.
Revenues: All revenues are derived from a formula which multiplies the per capita
revenues (Section 2) times the projected population (Section 3). The exception to this
is the property tax which multiplies the tax base times the county government tax rate.
Expenditures: All expenditures are derived from a formula which multiplies the per
employee expenditure (Section 2) times the number of additional employees (Section
3). ..
Net Fiscal Impact: The net balance is the difference between projected expenditures
and projected revenues. A negative net balance indicates that it costs Orange County
more to provide services to a project than it receives in revenues. A positive net
balance indicates that more revenues are received than it costs to serve a project.
Positive net balances in one project may thus be used to offset negative balances in
another.
SECTION 5 - PROJECTED NET FISCAL IMPACT ON SCHOOL DISTRICT
Revenues: The County contribution is derived by transferring education expenditures
by County government (Section 4). Revenues derived from the school district tax are
derived by multiplying the school district tax times the tax base. State revenues are
derived by multiplying the per student expenditure figure times the total projected
number of school children (Section 3).
Expenditures: Expenditures are derived from a formula which multiplies each per
student expenditure (Section 2) times the total projected number of school children
(Section 3) and adding the results.
Net Fiscal Impact: The net balance is the difference between projected expenditures
and projected revenues. A negative net balance indicates that it costs the school
system more to provide educational services for children in a project than it receives in
revenues. A positive net balance indicates that more revenues are received than it
costs to serve a project. Positive net balances in one project may thus be used to offset
negative balances in another.

Strayhorn said that the people in the subdivision would prefer it to be a private subdivision with as few
access points as possible. He said that the one house in the open space would have a significant bearing
on whether the field would stay farmed.

31 Benedict gave an update on the Greene Tract. The Commissioners met last night to discuss the Greene
32 Tract, and the original proposal that came forward was a zoning for 169 acres. In the interlocal
33 agreement, it said that only 60 acres had to be assigned. The decision last night was to determine the
34 most appropriate 60 acres. The County Commissioners did not have enough information last night to
35 make a decision on what was the most appropriate 60 acres. The County Commissioners made a motion
36 to not have the rezoning a part of the interlocal agreement before the County takes over solid waste
