Hillsborough. By traveling northeastward on Orange Grove Road and then taking Old NC 86 south, one can get on 2-85 about two miles from The Timbers. By traveling southwest on Orange Grove Road and taking two other State roads to the west that doss under 1-85, one can get into west Hillsborough in the area of Hillsborough Textiles with about three miles of travel. The traffic generated from The Timbers will not overload Orange Grove Road. ?Although the current traffic ;oad on Orange Grove Road is not now known to the Developer, The Timbers Development should add only about 100 vehicles per hour to the peak hour traffic. (The average traffic generated by The Timbers would be only about 30 vehicles per hour.) The peak hour capacity of Orange Grove Road, assuming about 40 mile per hour traffic and typical delays for turning onto Orange Grove Road, would be about 1600 cars per hour. UTILITIES Water and sewer service will be provided by connection to the Town of Hillsborough systems. In the case of sewer, Hillsborough has a rather new 2.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant that is currently operating at only 30 percent capacity. There is an existing sewer force main that runs along Orange Grove Road from a pump station at Grady Brown School and that force main has considerable excess capacity to receive the wastewater flow from this development. The Developer proposes to install a sewer pump station at the north edge of the mobile home lots, and pump the wastewater south along the entrance drive to a connection into t'ze existing force main at Orange Grove Road. Between the pump station and the mobile home, all sewer service will be by gravity flow. As for water service, the Town of Hillsborough has a rather new 3.0 MGD water treatment plant facility, which is currently operating at only 37 percent capacity. There is an existing waterline on Orange Grove Road which runs from Hillsborough to the Grady Brown School, and this line also has considerable excess capacity and can be tapped to serve The Timbers. The elevation of this development is high relative to the elevation of the Town of Hillsborough, but the waterline already has a booster pump station located approximately 2000 feet northeast of the site, which increases the pressure in the maximum sur- face elevation in the area of The Timbers and Grade Brown School. The existing waterline is 8 inches in diameter and the demand from The Timbers will not place a significant burden on the line. The streets will be maintained by the Developer, or his successor in ownership, who will retain ownership of all of the land. The streets will be graded and drained generally in accordance with NC DOT Subdivision Roads standards. Base course will be 5 inches of ABC ("crusher run") , and then asphaltic surface treatment will be applied to the surface. EROSION CONTROL PLAN An erosion control plan for development of The Timbers has been submitted to and approved by the Orange County Erosion Control Officer.
