6 system up T4ilson Cree}: as the preferred alternative. R. less preferable alter native would be to e::tend a gravity sewer up Fan Branch from the line proposed to serve Dogwood Place subdivision c•rith a public lift station to pump-a wastecaater from the tract into the Fan sranch outfall. T.~j~n gravity sewer is e::tendea to T•7ilson Creek, both the lift station and force main up Fan Branch crculd be abandonec. xhe developer croula have to bear all the costs of financing for the line installation. Q•,TASA has indicated that it prefers to extend ureter and sewer at the same time, rather than allow for disjointed service provision. Iiocrever, Of4ASA, as indicated earlier, is not interested in financing such service extension, 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 Q•TASA criteria. L*^7ASA submitted a letter core~enting on the proposal to be included in the record which reflects the above :mentioned policy. T~~ith regard to transportation, the area under consideration fronts on US 15-501 and Old Lystra Road. US 15-501 is a paved. secoru3ary road designated as a minor road in the Land Use Plan. Old Lystra Road is an unpaved secondary road designated as a minor rota in the Ixnd Use Plan. Traffic capacity of U5 15-501 and any improvements to Old Lystra Road would need to be addressed during further subdivision or rezoning approval processes if the amendrnurt to the Plan is approved. ~:isting land uses in the area include the follairing: To the north: undeveloped land and residential property with scattered Tedium density residential subdivision in the genera? area including Heritage I?ills, Dogwood Aeres and proposed Dogwood Place. T~iest and south of the tract at Starpoint are comr:~rcial uses which includes a tract in the County's jurisdiction zoned CC 3. South of the Orange/Chatham line considerable development pressures are apparent and evidenced by the Carolina t•leadovrs retirement cor.,arnrnity. One other consideration needs to be Trade in evaluating the amanrimant request: As part of their final activities the Joint Planning Commission recommYnd- ed that given the trend it cievelot*m~nt patterns around the Towns of Chapel Hill ana Carrboro that the Ten Xear Transition Area south of Chapel Hill be extended north to the edge of the Rural Buffer and the Twenty Year Transition Area b2 shifted south of Chapel Hill. 1n addition, the Commission recommended the Twenty Xear Transition Area south of Chapel Hill follow the drainage basin referenced as t~.organ Creek (ne~:t to Lower Piorgan Creek) which runs with Old Lystra F:oad ~o the east and then crosses and goes north of the extra-territorial line. No action has been ta}:en on the recommerxiation at this time. A map of the proposal is to be introduced as part of the record. (see permanent agenda file for this cop) The Tocan of Chapel Hill would like to comment on the proposal; the Toccoa Piarming Board has reviewer: the proposal; the 'Ian Council requested review of the proposal and are considering it this evening.
