From: Phil Post Philip Post & Associates, Inc.
Subject: Sunrise Road 5ubdivision_
Date: March 9, 2000
51901 S02.ME~03o9o0.K
Enclosed is the complete preliminary plat application for Sunrise Springs, responding to the
Concept Plan comments we recxived upon Concxpt Play 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 vet~+ minirn$1_
Neighbors asked about stormwater 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-40.
We have done this on the final plans.
The design fac Street A takes all sheetflow and ditch water from station 2 +04.76 back towards
I-40. This includes intercepting some of the cha~inage off Sunrise Road and sending it back to I
40. The 2S year flow through the 18"RCP pipe under 5trect A is 9.40 cfs, which is less than the
pre-development 25-year 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 plans entirely, including the
associated clearing has been eliminated.
Neighbors asked about two septic systems on lot 5.
We have eliminated one lot and reduced the subdivision fi~om 91ots to 81ots and in the process
we will only have one (1) septic system on each lot, including lot S.
Neighbors asked about covenants. Covenants will be adopted by this subdivision. Neighbors
asked about access of all lots to Street "A". The plan shows all houses oriented with drives off
Street "A". Thew will be rho 'v w off Sunrise Road.

A.. If approved the applicant shall have one (1) year to prepare and file a
Preliminary Plat application. if a Preliminary Plat has not been
submitted within the specified time limit, the Concept Plan shall
become null and void.
_ a~Recommendstioa
The Planning Sta$ 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 houses are to be placed, would a good
part of the property be left with trees.
Phil Post, engineer, responded yes. He stated that the road would be a
very c-arfow corridor and would use only a small portion of the lot. He
stated that there would not be much clear cutting and the area would
remain nicely wooded.
Barrows asked haw big is the parcel to the north of the property, Kirk
_ responded that the subject parcel is 21 acrd and accordmg to the tax map
the northern property is approximately 30-35 acres.
Barrows asked if the sraf#'would recommend stub-outs. She stated that
_ this area looks like slot of cul-de-sacs. Kirk responded that there are
cul-de-sacs already to the west and east, Ha stated that the property to
the north has quite a bit of frontage on Whitfield Road He noted that
staff did not feel a need for another connector ty Whitfield since this
property is near the intersection of Sunrise Road and Whitfield Road.
Woods noted that there does nat seem to be any typographical detail
information on the application. Kirk responded that the topographical
inforirtarion is sat required on a Concept Plan. Post described the
topographical areas an the map. He pointed out the goad soil areas, the
hilltops, slopes and the drainageways. He also painted out the wooded
areas that include hardwoods and pines.
1 Lei
yes and no. He pointed out where the top of the hill and road would be
and where the water would be intercepted. He 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 Post 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 cuncem with the proposed drainageway. He noted that the
road near his home was upgraded several years ago and the State went
from a 12-inch drainage so a 3b-inch drainage, which will accommodate
a tremendous amount of water. He noted that when the hurricane cams
through they lost a lot of timber (hardwoods and pines) in that area. He
stated that ho is not opposed rQ 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
i~ the properly.
Betsy Kraus stated that she is concerned with the 40 foot septic
easement. She noted that the clearing for this easement would
dramatically affect the view from her beak door. Fost responded that
there would be very light construction done which would be on the order
of clearing for a driveway. He pointed out her property on the map and
stated that the easement would be Haar the far western corner of her
property. He stated that they have designated a corridor about 40 feet
with a very nice buffer being maintained within 20-25 feet of the
property line. He reiterated that the area is heavily wooded and with a
buyer that size there will be. a nice separation. He noted that this 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
systiems. Post responded yes because it is common practice that the good
soils are shared.
Dodson asked if tot 7 would accommodate two septic tanks. Post
responded that it would actually be Iot 5 that would have two systems
plus the house site.
Kevin Huggins stated that he has had experience with lets 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 more leeway
for the developers to go around the trees, etc. He noted that it~would
have very little impact W the land itself. Ha pointed out that the
developers are very diligent about trying to save large trees.
~.~e..e .,nl.e.7 ...L..~ ~L.. 1.........~__1J'.L_ __11 ._ n_~ ..~__ _ _ _~ _ ~ ~._ __ ..
are 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 oa 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
l OQ-foot buffer with the buffer included in the lot.
Barraws asked if the recommendation made by staff that all lots access
the subdivision roads be included,. Kirk responded that this could be
added as a condition of approval,
~MOT~OIV: 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.

20 some of them were upset bcfom.
21
22 Kim Henry, the developer for The ,Woodlands, said that the primary resident that was affected by
23 the turn lane was Mr. Delos O'Daniel. His pasture would have beta encroached upon by
24 NCDOTs original specifications. Ms. Henry met with IVlike Venable, who was District
2s Engineer of NCDOT at the lima, and he agreed to a narrower shoulder and ditch width. Mr.
26 O'Daraiel was satisfied with the adjustment. All of the other neighbors are also satisfied with
27 this.

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 are now no easements for septic
3 systems,

5 Prestan said that she was pleased to see landscaping information about the bu$ers. She is
s concerned that some of the plants that 'are along Sunrise Road are going to suffer and probably
7 die. She wished it had been a mixed planting and not just the cypresses. She was also surprised
s that the landscaping was already done when the Planning Board had not yet approved the plan.
9 She is also concerned about the storm draiixa~ge easement that goes all the way through the site,
to under the road, and through lot seven. She asked what it:would actually do to lot seven.
~1
12 Ernie Dodson, who works with Phil Post, said that there was only a pipe underneath the right-of-
13 way under the road. The easement across lot seven follows the natural drainage area through the
14 lot. The house on lot seven is located near the setback line in order to take advantage of suitable
15 soils for agravity-feed septic system.
lb
17 Barrows asked for clarification on Preston's concerns about the planting.
is
19 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 bean.
21
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
24 rights of continuing the plan until it was approved. He said that the board could suggest mixed
2s planting schemes without berms, and this could be one of the conditions for approval of the
26 project.
27
2s 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
31 planting of small, deciduous trees and small ev en
ergre trees, not on
32 a berm, seconded by Katz.
33
34 Strayhorn agrees with the composition of the plants, but he thinks that the berals should stay
3S because they provide privacy, Preston explained how berms could cause the trees to die.
36
37 Ernie Dodson said that the inert of the berms was for noise control because of how close the
3s subdivision is m Y~}4: He asked if the berms could stay and the cypresses could just be
39 interspersed with other arses,
40
41 Katz asked about the responsibility of the developer in maintaining the buffer in the futiue.
42
a3 Ernie Dodson said that the warranty period was generally one year.
44
45 Katz is opposed to the berm because the plants would die.
46
47 Goodwin said that he thinks it is micromanagin$ to say that berms can or cannot be in a
4s development.

24
1 The boazd agreed to compromise and. ask for mixed planting, with no mention of the berms.

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.

7 There was a friendly amendment to the motion to take out the mention of the berme
9 Benedict said that berms could be shaped so that irrigation of the plants is not as much of a
1 o problem. ~ .. _ .
11
12 Barrows has a problem with making the Homeowners Association responsible for the buffer
13 right away. She said that the landscaping should be well done initially so that the homeowners
14 are just maintaining and not picking up pietas.

z7 Benedict made the presentation. He showed the area. subject to the land use plan amendments on
28 a map. The first item is as amendment to the joint planning area where Carrboro, Chapel Hill,
29 and Orange County must deride on any changes to the joint lead use map. In this case, all
3o authorities would have to 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. Lf the item is approved is the joint
33 planning eras, then Orange County looks at its own comprehensive plea sad changes it to a land
34 use designation thax would be consistent with the intended use of the pmperiy. In this case,
3s Orange County will be considering a change to a rural industrial node, which allows e~ctxactive
36 uses. If the rural industrial node is approved, the applicant will Nava to come just tp Orange
37 County far a Special Use Permit to expand tb~e existing Special Use Permit to allow the
38 expansion of the quarry and the eventual reservoir. Chapel Hill has recommended approval w
39 the joint plan sad Carrboro has not yet approved the recommendation. Tha Board of County
4o Comr~,;~.Qioners will be ~g a decision on June 29m. However, the joint planning amendment
al cannot occur without the Town of Carrbaro's approval.

43 Benedict said that there were comments from the opponents on the changing conditions
44 requirement that were occumng. Staff did soma reseazch on amendment criteria, and one of the
43 bases for the change lass to do with either an error in the plan or changing conditions. Benedict
46 summarized a' chart of changing conditions in Orange County regaxdiag population change,
47 increase of water demand and decreasing rock supply. There have been no changes to the
48 original mitigation measures that were discussed during the April 12, 2000 meeting. After
