[Marshall raised the question of the problem of reconciling what the Board has heard over the evening faith the ordinance requirements., asking why there is a different approach to emptying out traffic onto Bohn Breckenridge Drive in Hampton Downs and Homestead ttaad with the [McCoy project. Collins responded that the Orange County Zoning Ordinance requires direct access to arterials or collectors as designated in the Land Use Plan. He continued that tdG 86 is an arterial and that Article 7 requires that traffic from a planned development cannot cause traffic aver minor roads. He reviewed the definition of a minor road. He continued that the number of dwelling units served by John Breckenridge Drive doesn't meet the definition.of a collector or arterial road, not a minor road. The road could be used to gain access to IdC 85. E?e applied the same definition to NC 86 and Homestead Road. tarshall cited the evidence given regarding conflicting policies caith Chapel Ftill.
