Preliminary Plans (1) High Point Woods Phase III Presentation by Jim Hinkley. The current Phase III Preliminary Plan presented herein is a modification of the Concept Plan approved by the Planning Board on August 5, 1998. The developer has opted to remove from the Phase III plat the 10 -acre lot lying immediately to the west of proposed lot 3 and not to create three lots from the two existing lots along the southeastern side of Sparrow Hawk Crest. The proposed four -lot High Point Woods, Phase III major subdivision is located in the northwest comer of Chapel Hill Township. It will be accessed from the south side of Ode Turner Road (SR 1130) via Sparrow Hawk Crest Road, a Class A private road. All four lots will be served by Wood Thrush Lane (Class B) which extends from Sparrow Hawk Crest Road. One lot (IA) is also accessed by Red Tail Hawk Road (Class C) which also extends from Sparrow Hawk Crest Road. Ode Turner Road intersects 5,700 feet to the north with Orange Grove Road and 2, 250 feet to the south with Davis Road. The proposed subdivision includes 20.04 acres. Four lots are proposed to be created from two existing 10 -acre parcels of record. One 10.01 acre parcel (Tax Map No. 7.1..21) will be divided into a 7.01 acre and a 3 acre lot, and the other 10.03 acre parcel (Tax Map No. 7.1..21G) will be divided into a 7.01 acre lot and a 3.02 acre lot. The southern two- thirds of the subdivision is located in the U- ENO-PW Upper Eno Protected Watershed. The upper one -third is undesignated. Impervious surface limitations in the U- ENO -PW are 12 percent for existing and new lots outside Transition Areas as designated in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. BMP's (Best Management Practices) cannot be used to satisfy watershed requirements. A 150' Duke Power transmission line easement crosses the extreme northerly end of Lot 3. A type D 50' land use buffer runs along the southern edge of the power easement. A Type D Buffer is composed of 50- 75% evergreen vegetation distributed so as to create a semi - opaque screen to a height of at least 30'.
