6 <br />.DRAFT <br />1 If the County Commissioners and the Planning Board make any recommendation, and <br />2 could see that the deviations were reasonable, we could recommend for the site plan with a <br />3 couple of conditions that we felt would be an addition for safety purposes. <br />4 <br />5 We're staying with the same ones that were on the previous plan. <br />6 <br />7 The access that DOT is saying needs to be eliminated, we're staying with that. We agree <br />8 with the DOT, and it's their road, so we didn't have much a choice on that. <br />9 <br /> <br />10 Also, for the northern driveway, Staff is recommending that it be converted to a right-in- <br />1 l right-out at this time, whereas, DOT's recommendation was to do it at some later date <br />12 when the cross-section for Old NC 86 was improved. They're calling for that to be a 100- <br />13 foot right of way, 16- and 14-foot travel lanes with sidewalks, and a 25-foot median, which <br />14 takes you. to a 100-foot cross-section. And they're saying, at that time, when that happens, <br />15 and where they're thinking roughly 2010, maybe, then that would become aright-in-right- <br />16 out. So, we're actually saying maybe it might be best to get used. to that now. That's one of <br />17 the Staff conditions. <br />18 _ <br />19 There's also [referring to map], for interconnectivity along the. front there, with the <br />20 undeveloped -with the house to the south should that property develop -- a request to <br />21 allow access between these two tracts, and, that, potentially, if that next tract develops, you <br />22 could have Millstone line up with this side of the road, which would allow properties up here <br />23 to come out at a potentially lighted intersection for safety purposes. In no event, would we <br />24 recommend the southern driveway as they propose. _. <br />. 25._ _. _ _ _ _ _ <br />26 We have a traffic~study that was updated - not a lot of updating was done to it. They, <br />27 believe, have a presentation for you on the traffic patterns there. And then there was a <br />28 one-page update that shows the amount of traffic--how much drive-thru traffic -that they <br />29 have at certain times. <br />30 <br />-':` ~3~ _ ~ The site plan itse{f that has been looked at ---they~are :proposing some _u.ndergrQUnd storage:. <br />" -32. " Qf their stormwater. As you all know now there is an over ground storage area next to_` ~ ; <br />33 Oakdale, that has a fence around it, a chain link fence with brown tarp, plastic or something <br />34 around it. That would stay in place to handle the existing drainage on the existing site. <br />35 <br />36 For the new addition, they're proposing an underground drainage storage tank that would <br />37 discharge at a rate---i'm not an engineer---that would not provide any storm water <br />38 problems. That would be located roughly underneath of, [Mr. Davis refers to map], <br />39 underneath of the parking there, next to teller station. And they can probably give you a few <br />40 more details on that. <br />41 <br />42 They had looked into doing underground storage a few years back on this other one <br />43 [existing one] and nothing ever came to that. But there were a couple of folks that did <br />44 inquire about the potential of doing that. !t would have required that some of those trees be <br />45 removed up in the front portion to get in there right, because you would have to use this <br />46 area. You would have to build it [the new one} at another location. You couldn't tear this <br />47 one up until you got the other one in place. So, you would end up~with some trees gone. <br />48 So they dropped that. I don't know if How's the opportunity to do that, but you can check <br />49 with their engineer on that. I don't know that they're even interested in doing that anymore. <br />
