U~~ z extended public sewer service into the New Hope Creel: sub-basin at this time. Ertensian of seraer service Trill require decision as to the appropriateness, desareability Gnd feGsibality of extending services into a new sub-basin on a pump system basis. Given the presence of Nozthwoods subdivision, an industrially zoned tract, two corsiercially zoned tract and considerable development interest in the Eubanks/NC 86 area, the issue of servicancl a neer sub-basic. neecs to be considered seriously. Mince water service could easily -- be provided, oI9ASA has indicated that at is preferable to e~:tend water and sewer services at the same tare, rather tY~an allow for disjointed service provision. However, Oi•7ASA at this time is not interested in financing sucY, service- ~::~~nsion, but would look favorably on the extension of lines by a developer to serve a given area so long as the line site and location meet OWASA criteria. The area under consideration fronts on Eubanks Road which is a paved state maintained secondary road. The remainder of the tract fronts on NC 86. The portion under consideration 'ras access to NC 86, which is an arterial road, from Eubanks Road. The proposed construction of 2-~0 will require the acquisition of the eastern portion of the original tract for the right-of-tvay for T-40 and also the realignment of Eubanks P.oad at the I-~0/IIC 86 interchange. E~cistang land uses in the area include the following: to the nori.h, undeveloped land and 2-nQ, to the east, single family residential units and 1-90; to the 50uth, Northvroods subdivision, a subdivision of single zanily units, a chuck and undeveloped land; to the west undeveloped land, a warehouse facility, an undeveloped andustri~lly zoned tract and the County landfill. Considerable residential and commercial development has and as continuing to take place to the south cf the area along NC 86 and teTeaver Dairy Road. The area south of the proposes alignment of I-~40 is facinc, considerable development pressures and is clearly in transition from rural or low-density uses to urban and higher density uses, particularly as a result of the proposed presence of the interstai:e interchange immediately to the south. At present the population density of the area north and west of Eubanks Road remains very low density; however, the density of the urea in the ti•~eaver Dairy Road area to the south east is moderate to high and will continue to increase in density. The absence of population Brest of the tract is most likely due to the presence of the county landfill and the Southern Railroad line. The density of Northwoods to the south as one unit the acre on a cor:~r:unity water system and indavic:ual septic tanks and is already established. Two other consaderGtions need to be made in evaluating the araendment recuest. The first consideration is that at the time the Land Use 1?lan was develaed and adopted the County was still in litigation with .the State over the proposed alignment of X-n0 through Orange County. The Land Use Plan categories for the area under consideration reflect planning criteria e.hich cad not fully recognize the presence of the 5-40 corridor immediately east and north of tY:e tract. The second consideration is that as part of their final, activati.es the .joint Planning Corunission recorunended that given the trencr in development patterns around the Torrns of Chapel Bill and Carrboro that the Ten Year Transition F~rea be extended north to the edge of the Rural >;ufzer and the Tv,=enty Year Transition Area b2 shifted sau~h of the Towr. of Chpel I3i11. iJo action was taken on the recommendation.
