To: Eddie Kirk- Orange County Planning
From: Phil Post- Philip Post & Associates,. Inc.
Sub,~ect: Sunrise Road Subdivision
Date: March 9, 2000
s 19otBO2.ME,a.oso9oo.x
Enclosed is the complete preliminary Plat application for Sunrise Springs; responding m the
Concept Plan comments we received upon Concept Plan approval on June 2,1999.
Neighbors asked about trees; we have shown the proposed house placement on the lots; which
demonstrate how we will save trees. Also, the Clearing limits for the roadway are ey yr Tninirnal_
Neighbors asked about sttmmwater runoff, Our statement at the Concept Plan meeting was that
we would use the new roadway ("Street A'~ to intercept sheetflow coming towards the
drainageway and redirect that water towards I~0.
We have done this on the fu:al plans.
The design for Street A takes all sheetflow and ditch water from station 2 + 04.76 back towards
I-40. This includes inoercepting some of tlar age off 5umise Road and sending it back to I
40. The 25 year flow through the 1$"RCP pipe under Street A is 9.40 cfs, which is less than the
pre-development 25-~ flow going to the drainageway.
Neighbors asked about the 40 foot septic easement and force main.
We have eliminated the septic easement and force main from the pleas entirely, including the
associated clearing ltas been eliminated.
Neighbors asked about two septic systems on lot 5.
We have eliminated one lot and reducxd the subdivision iiom 91ots to 81ots and in the process
we will only have o~ (1) septic system on each lot, including lot 5.
Neighbors asked about covenants. Covenants will be adopted by this subdivision. Neighbors
asked about access of all lots to Street "A". Tits plan shows all houses oriented with drives off
Street "A". There will be no 'vewa off Sunrise Road.

become null and void.
S~Recommendstion
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Concept Plan for
Sunrise Road Subdivision.
Selkirk stated that the property is in a really well wooded area,. He asked
if, with 2 acre lots, the way the boosts are to be placed, would a goad
part of the property be left with trees,
Phil Post, engineer, responded yes, He stated that the road would be a
very narrow corridor and would use only a small portion of the lot. I-Ie
stated that there would not be much clear cutting and the area would
amain nicety wooded.
- Barrows asked how big is the parcel to the north of the property, Kirk
responded that the subject parcel is 21 acres and according to the tax map
the northern property is approximately 30-35 acres.
Barrows asked if the staff would recommendstub-outs. She stated that
this area looks like slot of cal-de-sacs. Kirk responded that there are
cul-de-sacs already to the west and east. He stated that the propeny to
the north has quite a bit of frontage on Whitfield Road. He noted that
staff did not feel a need for another connector to Whitfield since this
property is near the intersection of Sunrise Road and Whitfield Road.
Woods noted that there does not seem to be any topographical detail
information on the application. Kirk responded that the topographical
information is not required on a Concept Plan. Post described the
topographical areas on the map. He pointed out the good soil areas, the
hilltops, slopes and the drainageways. He also pointed out the wooded
areas that include hardwoods and pines.
j~
yes and no. He pointed out where the top of the hill and road would be
and where the water would be intercepted. Ha noted that some of the
water that will not go down to the drainageway will be intercepted by the
road and sent towards the interstate highway.
Woods asked l?vst about the second drainageway where an easement has
also been placed. He stated that there must be a force main where
sewage will be moved from lot 7 to the area on lot 5. He asked how the
second drainageway would be prevented from being clogged up by the
force main.. Post responded that this is a well defined drainageway with
a very small amount of water flowing through it. He stated that it is very
narrow and shallow and will be buried about 3 feet with a very modest
flow.
Al Dodson stated that he lives at the bottom of the drainage, He
expressed concern with the proposed drainageway. He noted that the
road near his Name was upgraded several years ago and the State went
from a 12-inch drainage to a 36-inch drainage, which will accommodate
a tremendous amount of water. He noted that when the hurricane came
through they lost a lot of timber (hardwoods and pines) in that area. He
stated that ho is not opposed to the subdivision but is concerned that the
drainageways may cause flooding to his property.
Post commented that their plan is to convert some of the water away
from the property.
Betsy Kraus stated that she is concerned with the 40 foot septic
easement She noted that the clearing for this easement would
dramatically affeM the view from her back door. Post responded that
there would be very light coasdvction done which would be on the order
of clearing far a driveway. He painted out her property on the map and
stated that the easement would be near the far western comer of her
property. He stated that they have designated a corridor about 40 feet
with a very nice buffer being maintained within 20•ZS feet of`the
property line. He reiterated that the area is heavily wooded and with a
buffer that size there will be a nice separation. He noted that tliis area
has a drain that is moderately sloping. Kraus asked if it would be a
gravity fed drain. Post responded no, that it would be a pressure
situation. Kraus asked if this was common for developers to design such
systems. Post responded yes because it is common practice that the good
soils are shared,
Dodson asked if lot 7 would accommodate two septic tanks. Post
responded that it would actually be lot 5 that would have two systems
plus the house site.
Kevin Huggins stated that he has had experience with lots where the
waste leaves the house and goes through a strip of land other that where
the-system is and his experience has been that this provides mare leeway
for the developers to go around the trees, ems. He noted that it.would
have very little impact to the land itself. He pointed out that the
developers are very diligent about trying to save large trees.
Kraus asked wham the lotc would h~ cnlrt tn. Pnct r~?ennnrla~ rl,ar r},..
..._~ ,
15
aze planned. Post responded that he would say yes although covenants
have not been discussed.
Barrows asked about the open space and landscape buffers. Kirk
responded that it will be an the recorded plat and there will be
declarations, which will claim that there is a 100-foot buffer next to the
interstate. Also, the parcel directly to the west of this subdivision has a
100-foot buffer with the buffer included in the lot.
Barrows asked if the recommendation made by staff that all Tats access
the subdivision roads be included. Kirk responded that this could be
added as a condition of approval.
MOTION: Katz moved approval, Seconded by Walters.
Woods recommended that when the applicant brings the plan back to
have a more confirmed analysis of the increase of the stormwater runoff
to one drainage ditch and perhaps a portion of the force main could be
designated as clearings above it.
VOTE: Unanimous.

1 Kirk pointed out that the Concept Plan had nine lots and the Preliminary Plan has eight lots. The
2 ninth lot has been combinedwith an existing lot. There aze now no easements for septic
3 Systems.
5 Preston said that she was pleased to see landscaping information about the buffers. She is
s concerned that some of the plants thax are along Sunrise Road aze going to suffer and probably
7 die. She wished it had been a mixed planting and not just the cypresses, She was also surprised
$ that the landscaping was already done when the Planning Board had not yet approved the plan.
9 She is also concerned about the storm drainage easement that goes all the way through the site,
I o under the road, and through lot seven. She asked what it :would actually do to lot seven.
11
12 Ernie Dodson, who works with Phil Post, said that there was only a pipe underneath the right-of
13 way under the mad. The casement across lot seven follows the natural drainage area through the
is Iot. The house on Iot seven is located near the setback line in order to take advantage of suitable
15 soils for agravity-feed septic system.
ib
17 Barrows aslted for clarification oa Preston's concerns about the planting.
I$
i 9 Preston made reference to the agenda abstract and said that maples and water oaks were not
20 suitable to go underneath power lines, She said that. the planting should not be up on a-berm..
2I
Z2 ~ Benedict said that the applicant had no approval to do the planting before the Planning Board and
23 the County Commissioners approved the subdivision. He said that the applicant had no vested
2a rights of continuing the plan until it was approved. He said that the board could suggest mixed
zg planting schemes withAUt berms, and this could be one of the conditions for approval of the
26 project.
27
28 MOTION: Preston moved to accept the staffs recommendation to approve the
29 Preliminary Plan for Sunrise Springs with the change that the type
3o A buffer along Sunrise Road is to be reconstructed to be mixed
3 I pleating of small, deciduous trees and small evergreen trees, not on
32 a berm. Seconded by Katz.
33
3a Strayhom agaves with the composition of the plants, but he thinks that the berals should stay
3S because they pmovide privacy. Preston ~cplained haw berms could cause the trees to die.
36
37 Ernie Dodson sgid that the intent of the berms was for noise control because of haw close the
38 subdivision is to I~40: He asked if the berms could stay and the cypresses could just be
39 interspersed with other trees. .
40
al Katz asked about the responsibility of the developer in maintaining the buffer in the future.
42
a3 Emie Dodson said that the wan~aaty period was generally one year.
44
45 Katz is opposed to the beam because the plants would die.
46
a7 Goodwin said that he thinks it is micromanaging to say that berms can or cannot be in a
a$ development
a9
24
1 The boazd agreed to compromise and ask for mixed planting, with ao mention of the berms.
2
3 Benedict said that in the Resolution of Approval, some additional language could be added that
4 the Homeowner's Association would be permanently responsible for the maintenance of the
s buffer in accordance with the County standards.
6
7 There was a friendly $mendmeat to the motion to take out the mention of the berms.
8
9 Benedict said that berms could be shaped so that irrigation of the plants is not as much of a
to pmblem. -.. ._.
11
12 Barrows has a problem with making the Homeowner's Association responsible for the buffer
13 right away. She said that the landscaping should be well done initially so that the homeowners
1a are just maintaining and not picking up pieces.

AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS HEARD AT JPA PUBLIC HEARING (4/12/00)
a. JOINT PLANNIIYG AREA LAND USE PLAN
AMENDMENTS
(1) JPA 1-OO American Stone Company
(2) CP-1-00 American Stone Company
27 Benedict made the presentation. He showed the area subject to the land use plan amendments on
zs a map. The fast item is an amendment to the joint planning area where Carrboro, Chapel Hill,
29 and Orange County must decide on any changes to the joint land use map. In this case, all
3o authorities would have W agree to change the existing land use to an extractive use that. could
31 allow the expansion of the quarry operation. The second part of the process has to do with an
32 amendment to the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. if the item is approved is the joint
33 planning area,. then Orange County looks at its own comprehensive plea and'changes it to a land
34 use desigcation that would be consistent with the intended use of the properly. In this case,
3s Orange County will be considering a change to a rural industrial node, which allows extractive
36 uses. Ifthe rural industrial node is approved, the applicant will have to come just m Orange
37 County for a Special Use Permit to expand the existing Special Use Permit m allow the
38 expansion of tha quarry and the everrtual reservoir. Chapel Hill has recommended approval to
39 the joint plan and Caxxboro has not yet approved the recommendation. The Board of County
4p Comrr~;eaioners will be malring a decision on June 29`x. However, the joint planning amendment
41 cannot occur without the Town of Caprrboro's approval.
42
43 Benedict said that there were comments from the opponents on the changing conditions
4a requirement that were occurring. Staff did some research as amendm~®t criteria, and one of the
45 bases for the change has to do with either an error in the plan. or changing conditions. Benedict
a6 summarized a' chart of changing conditions is Orange County regarding population change,
a7 increase of water demand and decreasing rock supply. There have been no changes to the
4s original mitigation measures that were discussed during the April ] 2, 2000 meeting. After
