(subdivision with failing septic tanks), then this particular site could access a <br />public water and sewer line and maintain a density of one unit to the acre. <br />Jacobs stated that it would therefore not necessitate a higher density in order <br />to make available water and sewer. Collins agreed that it would not. The assumption <br />is that public water and sewer would be extended by this development for one of those <br />two purposes stated above. <br />Jacobs asked how the limits of this transition area were being defined stating <br />that already the adjacent property owner to the east has made it known that he would <br />like to change to a transition area. Jacobs asked how far the transition area along <br />Old Highway 10 would be extended. <br />Collins stated that the railroad spur that comes off the Southern Railroad and <br />runs down to Chapel Hill might be an appropriate dividing line. To the southeast is <br />existing residential .development. <br />Jacobs indicated that that was at one unit per acre. He asked if conditions <br />change would other properties have an opportunity to change their Land Use designation <br />and Collins stated that they would always have the option of making that request. <br />Jacobs asked when property is sold in this transition area if the new owner could <br />request any zoning density from two units per acre to 13 units per acre. Collins. <br />agreed with that statement. <br />Commissioner Willhoit commented that the R-1 classification has to do with a lack <br />of availability of water and sewer and that water and sewer services are not expected <br />within the 10 to 20 year time frame. Therefore, one unit, per acre becomes the density <br />criterion because that is what is required in the absence of water and sewer. He <br />stated that as water and sewer is extended and therefore becomes available it would <br />seem to be a candidate for change because one of the basic criterion then of R1 no <br />longer applies. It seems that the more basic question of how far you go and at what <br />speed has to do with the ability to provide urban services. The availability of water <br />and sewer should not be the only criteria that is used in making these decisions. One <br />of the things that is of concern here is that the logical growth meet the land use <br />plan as it relates to the availability of urban type services. <br />In answer to a question about the placing of a sewer line so that it will not <br />disturb the wildlife trail, Collins indicated that the creek bisects the property in a <br />southwest-northeast direction. The property falls on both sides toward the creek. <br />One way to install the sewer lines and avoid the wildlife corridor is to have parallel <br />systems which would parallel both sides of the creek, the wildlife corridor and the <br />development on either side flowing into it. Another way is to have the sewer lines <br />further away from the wildlife corridor. This would depend on the layout of the <br />roads. If the roads follow the natural fall of the land, the sewer lines could do <br />likewise. <br />Jacobs asked what the minimum requirement would be and Collins stated that there <br />was none and that it presently could not be required. The inventory just recommends <br />that a minimum requirement be considered but there is no provision in the ordinance to <br />require it. <br />- • v. <br />t <br /> <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Willhoit about water and sewer and the <br />designation of transition areas, Collins stated that one way is to say this looks good <br />
