The developers of Woodgreen submitted a single Concept Plan under the conservation option of flexible development. The proposal included 10.59 acres or 34.5% open space. The open space will be privately owned as part of the lots and will be preserved through a conservation easement or restrictive covenants. It will protect wooded land on gentle slopes, Rocky Run, and adjacent floodplain and stream buffers. A portion of the protected open space will minimize visual impacts by preserving the open area adjacent to Dimmocks Mill Road. The Carl and Theresa Chambers subdivision is located in Cedar Grove Township north of Carr Store Road (SR 1126) between NC Highway 86 and Compton Road (SR 1353) and adjacent to the East Fork of the Eno River. The site lies within the Upper Eno Critical Area and Protected Watershed. The 19 -acre site is predominately wooded with mature hardwoods, pines and small hardwoods, with a small area in early succession. Large specimens of red oak, and a twin poplar, both exceeding 30 inches in diameter, were denoted on the Concept Plan and included in the protected open space. The plan was modified after the site visit to protect the significant trees. The Concept Plan follows the conservation option of flexible development, with 9.35 acres or 49% open space. The open space protects wooded land on gentle slopes, streams, floodplain, the adjacent stream buffers, as well as buffers along the subdivision boundaries. Twin poplar MTK Development is located in Eno Township on both sides of Yates Road (SR 1563) east of Palmers Grove Church Road (SR 1562). The 38.34 acre tract lies within the Lower Eno Protected Watershed. The site centers around a stream valley created by an unnamed intermittent stream that flows north approximately one mile to the Eno River. Primary conservation areas include the stream and scattered slopes estimated to be over 25 percent. The remainder of the site is considered Secondary Conservation Area, composed of woodland and/or slopes greater than 15 percent. The subdivision retains nearly 50% of its total area in open space. The plan for MTK Development follows the conservation option of flexible development. The 18 acres of protected open space includes wooded land on moderate to steep slopes, the creek and adjacent stream buffer, as well as buffers along the roads and the subdivision boundaries. Field View subdivision is located in Cheeks Township on the north side of West Lebanon Road (SR 1306) on both sides of Frazier Road (SR 1342). It is also situated on the ridge line separating the Neuse and Cape Fear River Basins. The 81.57 -acre tract falls within both the Back Creek Protected Watershed and Upper Eno Protected Watershed. The site is characterized by mostly open fields that are gently rolling away from the ridgeline running northeast - southwest. The northern 20 percent of the former farm is wooded. The Concept Plan follows the conservation option of flexible development. The protected open space will be privately owned Flexible Development Annual Report #2 July 1998 Page 3
