Concept Plans (1) Property of Carl dt Teresa Chambers (8 Lots - Cedar Grove) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in Cedar Grove Township north of Carr Store Road (SR 1126) between NC Highway 86 and Compton Road (SR 1353) and adjacent to the East Fork of the Eno River as shown on the vicinity map. The current zoning is Agricultural Residential (AR), Upper Eno Critical Area and Protected Watershed. The total acreage of the tract is 19 acres. Most of the northern half of the site is a broad, flat ridge top. The rest of the site slopes gently toward the river to the west and to the south where drainage ways join to form an . Intermittent stream flowing to the river. The stream is not indicated on the USGS topographic map and does not require a stream buffer. Except for the soils along the drainage ways, the remainder of the site is generally well drained and suable for septic systems. The property is entirely wooded. The majority of tree cover consists of mature hardwoods. Approximately twenty percent of the site is in early succession as a former field returns to forest. Two large specimen twin trees are indicated on the Concept Plan site analysis. Following the site visit, the proposed road location was adjusted to preserve what are probably the largest uves on the property.
