The <br />applicant, Tri-Star, Inc., proposes to subdivide the property (30.7 acres) into <br />25 new residential lots with an average lot size of 1.03 acres (smallest lot <br />size of 0.92 acre). The proposal includes 11.04 acres or 36% open space. <br />The property is located in Cheeks Township at the southern intersection of <br />Moorefields Road (SR 1135) and Dimmocks Mill Road (SR 1134) on the <br />east side of Rocky Run creek as shown on the attached vicinity map. The <br />current zoning is Agricultural Residential (AR) and Upper Eno Protected <br />Watershed. (The maximum amount of impervious surface in new <br />residential development, outside of Transition Areas, within the Upper Eno <br />Protected Watershed is limited to twelve percent.) Adjacent land uses are <br />residential. <br />Site description: The total acreage of the tract is 30.7 acres. Most of the <br />property is wooded except for a 4 -acre open field in the central portion of <br />the site, which is also a ridge top at the highest part of the site. In addition, <br />
