<br />PUBLIC HEARINGS- Chaire(e by Alice Gordon
<br />Proposed Principal Amendment to the Land Use Plan requested by Trendsetter
<br />Homes, Inc. (LUP 84 -1)
<br />This agenda item is to receive public comment on the proposed principal
<br />amendment to the Land Use Plan for 20+ acres located north of Eubanks Road and
<br />west of the NC 86 /Eubanks Road (SR 1727) intersection from Rural Buffer to
<br />Twenty -Year Transition.
<br />It was noted by Smith that this was a secondary amendment, not a principal
<br />amendment as specified on the abstract.
<br />Presentation by Smith as follows:
<br />The applicant, Trendsetter Hones, Inc., has requested an amendment to the
<br />Land Use Plan for orange County to redesignate approximately 20 acres of a
<br />tract identified on Tax Yap 18 as Lot 8, located on the north side of Eubanks
<br />Road west of NC 86 in Chapel Hill Township and containing" 43.66 acres from
<br />Rural Buffer to 'Twenty Year Transition. The portion of the lot under
<br />consideration fronts on SR 1727 Eubanks Road.
<br />The redesignation of an area from one plan category to another requires
<br />the application of locational criteria to determine suitability for
<br />redesignation from Rural Buffer to Twenty Year Transition Area. These
<br />locational criteria are given and compared in the agenda. They include an
<br />evaluation of land slope, hydrology, flora and fauna, soil conditions, public
<br />services /utilities, historic and cultural facilities, transportation system,
<br />energy use, existing land use, agriculture and forestry, and population
<br />density. The area meets the criteria for land slope, hydrology, flora and
<br />fauna, soil conditions, historic and cultural facilities, energy. use,
<br />agriculture and forestry, and poses no undesirable impact under these
<br />conditions.
<br />Further consideration, however, should be given to the locational criteria
<br />public services /utilities, transportation system, existing land use and
<br />f. population density.
<br />-" With regard to
<br />g public services and utilities the locational criteria for
<br />the Ten Year Transition Area assumes that the area is or can reasonably and
<br />efficiently be served by centralized public services and utilities. OWASA has
<br />provided some comments on the extension of public water and sewer to serve the
<br />area. Both water and sewer facilities extend as far as Timberlyne Shopping
<br />Center located northeast of the site, south of Weaver Dairy Eoad. Uith the
<br />construction of the Nunn Mountain elevated water tank later this year south of
<br />Timberlyne, water service could be extended to the area and beyond. However,
<br />the area under consideration is located in the NeP: hope Creek sub - basin. The
<br />sub -basin runs approximately through the southernmost portion of Northwoods
<br />subdivision located south of the area under consideration. OWASA has nnr
