20 <br />Parker - Addendum 1). The area to be dedicated is located in the <br />southernmost portion of the property west and south of Mars Hill Baptist <br />Church. It would be located on the south side of the proposed alignment of <br />the western bypass. (see Goal 12.1). <br />The land to be dedicated is "high and dry", with exception of a small <br />stream on the southernmost portion that is potentially subject to a 50' <br />buffer by the Neuse River Basin Rules. <br />Goal 12.1 Improve and promote the use of existing highway and transportation <br />facilities as opposed to developing extensive new conventional <br />transportation systems. <br />The current Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan calls for the Western Bypass <br />to extend from US 70 west of Hillsborough to NC 57. This Thoroughfare <br />Plan and the proposed alignment of the access road, for the school and <br />subject development, coincide. NCDOT has reviewed the proposed <br />alignment and stated that it is acceptable for future construction of the <br />bypass (See Addendum 2). NCDOT will continue to be a part of the <br />planning and design component throughout the life of this project. <br />Construction for the school and proposed development would include <br />construction of a left turn lane on NC 57 and approximately 1500 feet of <br />the Western Bypass from NC 57 to the school entrance and future PUD . <br />Construction of the remaining segment of the bypass between NC 57 and <br />NC 86 North would be constructed by NCDOT. Although NCDOT has <br />not indicated when the road will be constructed, it is likely that the <br />construction schedule would be accelerated due to the dedication of the <br />right -of -way and the construction of a portion of the road to serve the <br />school. <br />Goal 9 The provision of water and sewer lines in those areas that can be <br />practically and efficiently served by these facilities. <br />Public water and sewer will be provided by the Town of Hillsborough. It <br />is within the area designated as Hillsborough Primary Service Area in the <br />proposed Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary <br />Agreement. <br />A 12 -inch water main would be extended from the new water tower near <br />Frank Perry Road to provide water for fire protection for the school site <br />and for the future needs of the development. Potable water for the school <br />would be provided by a 2000' extension of the 6 -inch line that currently <br />serves the Mars Hill Baptist Church. <br />
