2� a 2 -acre open area is located at the southeast corner at the intersection of Dimmocks Mill Road and Moorefields Road. Hardwoods dominate the western two- thirds of the forest on the west side of the ridge. Pines are predominate on lots 1 through 6 east of the ridge line. The majority of the site slopes gently at a gradient less than 7.5 %. Approximately two- thirds of the site drains directly into Rocky Run which flows north along the western boundary. The eastern third of the site drains to the north and eventually to Rocky Run downstream of Woodgreen. A small area of moderate slopes (7.5% to 15 %) is found in the required stream buffer near the southwest corner of the site. The open space will be privately owned as part of the lots and will be reserved through a conservation easement or restrictive covenants. Open space will protect wooded land on gentle slopes, Rocky Run, the 100 -year floodplain, the adjacent stream buffer, buffers along Dimmocks Mill Road and the eastern subdivision boundary, as well as the natural drainage swale across lots 1 through 7. The open space will also minimize visual impacts of the subdivision by preserving the open area adjacent to Dimmocks Mill Road. The lots will have individual wells and septic systems. -The. Health Department has authorized that each lot contains:: provisionally suitable soils sufficient to locate a septic system to accommodate a three bedroom house. Information regarding the recommended type of system proposed for eachaot is attached. A PPBPS system is recommended for lots 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, and 15. A prefabricated, permeable block panel system ( PPBPS) is a specially constructed type of trench, that is state approved, that allows a 50% reduction in nitrification trench over a conventional system. Remaining lots have been approved for an innovative type system which is the type of system requested by the developer. An innovative system is one of five types of space reducing systems approved by the state. The design flow, type of system, and pump requirement are subject to change based upon the application for the construction authorization for each lot. Access from the lots to Moorefields Road is to be provided by two proposed public roads, Pine Ridge Road and Cedar Ridge Road, built and paved to N.C. Department of Transportation standards. A publicly dedicated stubout with a 40' X 50' (temporary) turn around is provided at the end of Pine Ridge Road to the adjacent northern property for future access.
