3 <br />had an average daily traffic count of 1,700 in 1991. Old Chapel Hill- <br />Hillsborough Road is considered an arterial and had a 1991 traffic count <br />of 11,000 trips per day. Under R-4 zoning, discounting 12~ for roads <br />and recreation area, the maximum number of residential units allowed <br />would be approximately 149, resulting in 1,490 trips per day.

Old Chapel Hill-Hillsborough Road is <br />considered an arterial road. There are presently two streets that dead <br />end into this property that are in Cornwallis Hills. Traffic from both <br />of those streets would have to use the Cornwallis Subdivision to get to <br />an arterial or collector street. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR COMMENTS/QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS. <br />MELVIN RASHKIS, General Partner, Old 86 Limited Partnership, <br />indicated that this project has been under development for the last 10 <br />to 12 years. When the original approval was given certain conditions <br />were tied to the approval of the plat. Only one-half of the property <br />was included in the original plat. He indicated that R-4 is being <br />requested, rather than R-3, because the topography is different and <br />flexibility will be needed in order to work around that topography. The <br />density will not be increased as a result of the R-4 designation. <br />1.
