16 1 small wetland right in the corner of the property. Likewise, on the southeastern portion of the 2 property is the beginnings of a stream and a small wetlands as well in that location. The 3 typography of the property, the highest point of the property is just off the end of Schoolhouse 4 Road where the property then falls toward the stream and the northwestern corner of the 5 property. To the east, the property falls toward the previously mentioned to the southeastern 6 corner of the property. The property is largely wooded. There are some abandoned structures. 7 There-are a couple of abandoned mobile homes in this area and throughout the wooded area 8 there are acouple-of abandoned framed dwellings. There are some associated or accumulated 9 debris piles. 10 I1 Pursuant to County ordinance requirements, we did notify the property's surrounding the subject 12 property within 500 feet of the proposal. There are 45 individual property owners they-e-that are 13 within the required notification area. 14 15 This is our proposed site plan. Mr. Harvey has previously shown that to you and it is in your 16 packet. We are proposing 28 lots in conjunction with the rezoning from R-1 to R-8 as 17 demonstrated there on the screen. We do propose a connection to existing sanitary sewer 18 systems in that area. Orange County operates a sanitary sewer system that basically runs 19 along the corner here, across the property to Schoolhouse Road, around Schoolhouse Road, 20 and the property to the east here. Our proposal is to build internal gravity sewer mains along 21 the proposed streets to connect in to the existing manhole at this location and then again over 22 on Tinnin Road to serve all 28 lots. 23- 24 We are proposing public water, as has been mentioned, as an existing 3" water main operated 25 by Orange-Alamance Water System. It provides domestic service in the community, but it will 26 not supply domestic fire suppression volume pressures. We are proposing to build a new public 27 water main off Tinnin Road to serve the site as well as build public water mains within the site 28 and along the proposed streets. The public streets basically feature two access points for the 29 development. The first being off Schoolhouse Road with the access point entering into the site 30 and then oriented toward the north of the property boundary for future extensions, if necessary. 31 We do have an intersecting cul-de-sac street that extends from that street to the west to a cul- 32 de-sac where we serve approximately 10-12 lots in that section. There is also a plan to improve 33 and extend Tinnin Road at the current end of the intersection of Schoolhouse Road, extend it to 34 the north, dedicate a public right-of-way, which currently doesn't exist there and build a new 35 street north of the property line there with the water and sewer facility included. That will kind of 36 formalize that access to the north to a previously existing 60-foot public access easement. 37 38 The public water main extension we are anticipating tapping, the existing water main out on US 39 70 and extending the public water main along Tinnin Road back to the intersection of 40 Schoolhouse Road. From that point, we will extend it further into the site along the road 41 construction. As you have seen in our package, we had anticipated an 8" water main for this 42 extension to be sufficient for both domestic and fire protection services and we understand that, 43 through this process, that there will be continued discussion with the County as far as the size of 44 that water main for future growth as well as connection to the recent built property to the west of 45 our site. 46 47 This just gives you a general layout of that water line. We don't know exactly which side of 48 Tinnin Road it may be on. ,There will have to be a formal survey of that area done to confirm 49 where the road lies within the public right-of-way to determine the best location for the water 50 main. This is the site plan that we've rendered with some color to help your review of it. A 51 couple of things that I'd like to point out from this slide -the first are the open spaces that we
