Eight (8) residential lots are proposed on a 16.7 acre tract. <br />The current zoning is Rural Buffer. Flexible Development is not <br />applicable in the Rural Buffer. <br />There are no streams on the property, and a 30 foot type A buffer is <br />provided along New Hope Church Road.

Seven lots are 2.00 acres in size and the other lot is 2.110 <br />acres. <br />The site is almost entirely wooded except for an overhead power line on <br />the front portion of the tract. The trees on site are mixed hardwoods <br />approximately 35 years old. The surrounding property is also wooded. <br />Access to the property is from New Hope Church Road (SR 1723). New <br />Rise Court is proposed to be public and constructed to NCDOT <br />standards. Each lot will access New Rise Court and be served by <br />individual wells and septic tanks.
