o~~ a Area which can reasonably be anne::ed by a riunicipality in the ensuing 10-20 years. (2) t'~ater and set•:er lines should e~:ist at the site or be assured of installation as pant of the deveiopraent process. (3) Vehicular access must consist of direct access to a street classified as either arterial or collector as r:esign2ted by the adopted Land Use Plan. (n) The full range of urban services e:;ist or are proposed at the tine of the development including fire, police, recreation, education, corcmercial ar,d cultural activities. As indicated previously, the property in cuestior. has been designated as 10-Year Transition in the Land Use Plan by action of the Board of Commissioners in I•iarch 19E3. ~'he property noes not have "direct access" to the North Carolina Highway 86, a route which has peen designated as an "arterial" in the Land Use x'lan. Access to the site is by way of existing or proposed residential streets W:11Ch traverse Y:ildwood Subdivision. A requirement that the portion. of the proposes Oakdale Drive Extension adjacent to the development be reserved, and subsecyuent construction, of the same, trould provide access <long--term) to a "collector" street approved as part of the Central Crange Land Use Plan. j•~ater and setaer lines have been or are being extended to serve the property. Initial service t:ould be provided by way of an e~:tension of a six inch tuater line from baildvrood Subdivision Phase I. Staff proposes that a 12 inch line to be extended to ;}ildwood Subdivision-Phase TI be etended to serve latter phaSe5 of tiarapton Dovrns and provide a complete loop system with better water pressure. Sewer lines are available to serve the site, and they e~:tenci along the entire eastern boundary of the project. These lines connect to a pump station located near F7ilmore Electronics. Police and fire protection t•:ould be provided by the Orange Courtin Sheriff's Department and the Orange Rural Fire Distzict respectively. No problems in providing service to the development are anticipated, provided fire hydrants are installed. In terms cf the impact on schools, development of the property at P,-8 densities could result. in as many as 190 new students. All schools serving the proposed development would be impacated, including Grady-Brown Elementary, Stanford Jr. Hich, Stanback diddle School, and Orange High School. The LUT. or Land Use Intensity System comes into play on this rec,+u est. Specifically, it applies to all projects located in R-5, R-8 or R-13 zoning districts. It a~}plies because of the high-density nature of sucri ~:rojects and sets standards for open space, recreation, liveability, and building spacing. These .standards lave been met with one e:;ception. The applicant is required to provide 1.25 acres of recreational space for the use of the residents. I~iore than tY-,at amount has been designated on the plan, but it includes an access easement specifically required as part of the Glildtvood Subdivision development. Since it was required for that site and is not a part of the Hampton Dotens development, it cannot be counted in the acreage figure. Another problem faith the recreation space provided is the applicant has included pedestrian paths and t•:alkways in the area calculation. Specific designations as to which tralkways are included for recreational purposes must be shovan on the site plan and revised area cor,~putatiors provided. As shown it is unclear as to whether t•~alks between parking areas anc, buildings have been included. Such walks trould not be counted as meetinn rcr-raai-inr~, ; grace reci:iremen.ts.
