Commissioner Willhoit asked about restrictive covenants to maintain _ the character of the area and it was decided and agreed to by the developer ~~' that these guidelines would be submitted with the final plat for approval by the Planning Board. _ Geoffrey Gledhill suggested that the Board direct the Planning Staff/Board to bring back to the Board Subdivision Ordinance amendments which would require restrictive covenants of subdivisions in the Rural Buffer which address the internal concept of the Rural Buffer. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the Preliminary Plan with the attachment of 10 conditions listed below with the understanding that the restrictive covenants will be submitted with the final plat. The approval was amended to allow the Planning Board to correct #lo if it is different on the final plat. (1) Show the new right-of-way line for Mt. Sinai Road as a boundary line on the plat. (2) Show the Type B Buffer line 30' from the new right of- way line of Mt. Sinai Road (SR 1718). (3) In Phase Two, post a sign at the end of Twin Pines Lane cul-de-sac to indicate the intended future extension of that road. (4) Provide a left turn lane off Mt. Sinai Road with the final approval of Phase One. (5) Improved recreation space must meet the requirements of section TV-B 7 of the Subdivision Regulations including off-street parking. (6) Provide a 50-foot right-of-way on Twin Pines Lane along the entire '.-. length to the boundary line. (7) Post signs to prohibit swimming in the existing pond. The Planning Director recommends the following two additional conditions to address concerns expressed by the Duke Forest Advisory Committee: (8) A copy of the July 28, 1987 memorandum from the Duke Forest Advisory Committee should be submitted to the developer and the NC Division of Environmental Management for use in greparation, review, and approval of the low pressure sewage disposal, system permit. (9) In order to clarify the purpose of land being dedicated to Orange county, the Final Plat should label the site "Land dedicated to Orange County for recreation and/or open space purposes." On July 28, after the Planning Board had recommended approval of the preliminary plan, the Planning Staff was advised by the project engineer of an error in the calculated total acreage of the tract. The correct total acreage of Piney Mountain is 128.022, not 128.56 acres. This decrease in calculated land area results in a one-lot reduction in the total number of lots permitted under Section IV-B-10-b of the Subdivision Regulations. Therefore, the Planning Director recommends the addition of the following condition of approval: (l0) The preliminary plan for Piney Mountain .Subdivision should be considered with the deletion of lot number 59 from Phase Two.
