rv � Commissioner Lloyd asked if this or a similar system was presently working anywhere in the State. Mr. McCall said there were several. There were no further comments either for or against the proposed Land Use Plan Amendment. D-2 Rezoning Request--James Rae Freeland Mr. Marvin Collins, Planning Director, made the presentation for the rezoning request to the Boards. He said the request is for the ten southernmost acres of ' this 149.3 acre tract to be rezoned from Rural Residential (R-1) to Residential-4 (R-4). To obtain this rezoning the Land Use Plan would have to be changed to Ten Year Transition (simply extending the present Ten Year Transition from 1-85 south to emcompass this area). Mr. Collins listed the criteria to change the,.n, ' designation (see abstract page attached to and part of these minutes on page of this Book). Mr. Collins said the ten acre rezoning request by itself would have little impact; however, with the entire development there could be significant ' impact. Mr. Collins listed some concerns of the Planning Staff: 1) ability of the ' existing school system to handle the influx of students; 2) site accessibility ' (turn lanes); and, 3) provision of water and sewer services for the site. ' Ms. Pilkey asked that the letter from the Town of Hillsborough be read into the record (previously cited); Mr. Irvin complied. Mr. Freeland asked to respond to the contents of the letter. Mr. Freeland said he felt that the package treatment plant would be a reasonable alternative to tapping ' onto Hillsborough's sewer lines until the development was large enough to justify the expense of tap-ons. For the turn lanes, Mr. Freeland said the NC Department of ' Transportation would be making recommendations to facilitate access to the site and was unable to "make any commitment" without knowing Mr. Mills' (NCOOT) recommendations. • Mr. Freeland continued saying that he planned to pave the interior streets and provide ' open space for recreation; he had not given any thought, however, to placing utilities ' underground. • Planning Board Member Lunsford: Asked if the entire area south of the railroad • track was to be zoned residential . Mr. Freeland replied that a portion of it was requested for industrial with the • area north of the rdiiroad rack to be zoned commercial. However, he added that • he would be willing to have the entire southern portion residential with the area • north of the railroad track industrial. Ms. Lunsford expressed concerns regarding traffic safety in the area.
