r ~o~ concern the need for curb and softer in the access road and some off-site construction the planning staff feels is necessary for this project. T have already discussed the Swale vs. curb and cutter. The offsite improvements include extension of a 12" water line across the northern boundary of this project and the dedication of a 70' wide right'of-way for t,ie proposed Oakdale Drive extension, and the construction cf that portion of the roar: that .would run along the project boundary. P7e will dedicate the right-of-way for the road if it is necessary. The construction of this collector road is not a burden which should be borne solely by the developers of this property. Tf and when the road connects new ant old S6 it will be used by far greater numbers of vehicles that is projected for Hampton Downs and 47ildwood Development. It should serve as a service road for 2-85 and reduce the number of vehicles which y use the interstate to go from one road to .the other. Staff indicated concern about Hampton Downs connecting to minor streets as referenced in section 7.14.3. feast of the streets in Udildwood 4•roLld fit into the local; sub callector or even possibly tk:e collector category. T1:ese streets should be able to carry the increase in vehicle trips associated <<*ith Hampton Downs. For these reasons we do not feel it should be the responsibility or the developers of I3ampton 17owns to construct the proposed Oakdale Drive extension. Gordon inquired of Collins what kind of road John Breckenridge Drive erould be. Collins replied residential street and if Han-~pton Dawns was approved it could become a sub-co ].lector or collector street. Gorton inquired further if it would meet the reuuirements. The answer was that it was designated as a collector street. Gordon also raised the question of Oa!:dale Drive Extension Collins answered it was designated as collector in the Land Use Plan, but that there were problems obtaining the necessary easements. Gordon inquired about the relationship between the required 10G' setback and the proposed 50' setback. Collins responded that the PD-I•i district requires a 100' setback arpund the perimeter of the property, but that due to steep slopes in the eastern portion of the tract the developer was proposing to shift development to the west, encroaching on the setback but ],caving a much larger area to the cast in its natural state. 2•ir. Olive inquired how much crater ~+ould be used by the proposed development. 2~_r. Cannity coulc not answer the question Barbara Page from the audience asked if the ilOllSeS would be stick-built or modular as this would impact on the schools and tax base. The answer by Cannity was stick built. t•ir. Horace Johnson, Town of Hillsborough Commissioner, was sworn in. He _ addressed the public water/server cuestion indicating that there are problems regarding water service provision. -. He continued that the lines must be dedicated to the Totan before takeover. The tov;n will require that all plans must be prepared by a certified engineer'" and be submitted to the Town and State fcr revievr and approval. The lines will be constructed privately and the State must certify the person(s) doing the tap-ans. t~_r. ,7ohnson further noted that at the present time water pressure is low in the Hampton Downs area.
