Collins addressed some of the concerns expressed at the November 25th public hearing. One concern was the amount and location of the open space/recreation area of the proposed development. Collins referenced the memo from the Recreation Director, Mary Ann Black, noting that in her opinion, after walking over the area, and that of the Orange County Recreation and Parks Advisory Council-, a more appropriate area for active recreation facilities would encompass proposed lots #116-119 and this area should be designated an the Site Plan as "open space/recreation area". Collins reviewed the shift in location of the recreation area on the revised site plan. Collins then referenced a letter from John R. McAdams Company which attempted to address some other concerns expressed at the public hearing. Collins addressed the items where the applicant had requested' , changes in the conditions outlined by Planning Staff. Staff had; recommended a 41 foot pavement cross-section on Graham Drive and Hamilton Road and the applicant is requesting that this be changed to a 37 foot cross-section. Collins indicated the location of these roads an the site plan. Staff had also recommended curb and gutter for all streets in the single family development and the applicant is suggesting that curb and gutter would be appropriate an Scotswood Boulevard, -Graham Drive and Hamilton Way, but that the elimination of this requirement on the remaining roads would be consistent with the road standards of NCDOT and lend to the intent of environmental sensitivity concerning reduction of runoff. The applicant is also requesting that sidewalks not be required on the cul-de~sacs or on streets where curb and gutter are not required. In reference to the proposed traffic light at the intersection of St. Mary's Road and US Highway 70 Bypass, the applicant is requesting that the traffic light be installed by the. Department of Transportation based on their criteria. Collins referenced the memo from Warren Faircloth, Erosion Control Officer, outlining his concerns. Faircloth recommended that a condition be added that would require the construction of appropriate stormwater detention devices or other methods to control the rate of runoff due to development on properties downstream of the commercial and multifamily tracts. He also noted that to accommodate the stormwater runoff, the multifamily area would probably have to be constructed first. Commissioner Marshall inquired how the County could control the development of the commercial tract after the multifamily tract to give the Erosion Control Officer the information he needs to put in place for the erosion control plan.
