Proposed lots 11 <br />& 12 lie partially in Orange County. The 19 other '1ots have already received approval <br />from Chatham County. Access to the proposed subdivision is exclusively through <br />Orange County via Booth Road (SR 153 1) and newly named Amber Wood Run <br />(changed from Price Creek Drive in the Concept Plan because of duplication), a <br />proposed public residential street which intersects with Booth Road. The Orange <br />County portions of Lots 11 & 12 (totaling five acres) are to be created from an existing <br />parcel of record (Tax Map No. 7. 120.39). <br />A major subdivision application is required in Orange County because a new public <br />road —Amber Wood Run —is being dedicated. <br />At one time the property was located entirely within Chatham County. Orange and <br />Chatham Counties agreed on a new location of the county line in 1990 -91. The <br />boundary was moved south approximately 240 feet. <br />
