of the tract. The main access is from NC 10. There will be individual wells and septic systems. <br />The north side includes a 300-foot buffer, which will be undeveloped and open space. This was <br />approved according to SAPFO requirements and will generate approximately four students. <br />The administration, Planning Board, and staff all recommend approval, in accordance with the <br />attached resolution of approval. <br />Commissioner Brown asked if this falls in the area of EDD for water and sewer. Robert <br />Davis said that this is less than a mile from the EDD. John Link said that at this paint it is not <br />included for water and sewer, based on the maps. <br />Commissioner Brown asked about the soils and Steve Yuhasz said that the Health <br />Department has approved all of the sites. The property to the north is being reserved far repair <br />area for the mobile home park. As those repairs become necessary, they may decide that <br />some of the area to the north is not necessary, and it is possible that a small subdivision could <br />be put there. <br />Commissioner Brown asked some clarifying questions about the average cost of the <br />homes. <br />Steve Yuhasz explained that it is likely that the subdivision would be marketed to an <br />individual builder that is not yet in the picture. He is not sure of the architectural style at this <br />point. <br />Commissioner Brown asked about the long-term implications for developing one piece of <br />property as part of a larger piece of property. <br />Planning Director Craig Benedict said that the Crabtree Family Trust has hundreds of <br />acres of property throughout this general area. These larger tracts have been split into lots and <br />each one can be developed in 10-lot subdivisions. They are trying to monitor in this piece-by- <br />piece basis to make a good overall program. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked haw wide the railroad right-of-way was in this area and it <br />was answered 100 feet. He is asking because he does not want to assume that the railroad <br />would give up some right-of-way for a repair field. He said that this entire property is <br />surrounded by utilities and he does not know if the railroad will allow it. <br />Steve Yuhasz said that there is an agreement between Mrs. Bane and the railroad to <br />allow a boring. Commissioner Halkiotis asked for a copy of this agreement. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked about the origin of the name. Dorothy Bane said that her <br />father's name was David and her mother's name was Nettie. Her father was called Davi, and <br />her mother was called Net. <br />Chair Jacobs asked if the right-of-way was adequate to accommodate bike lanes without <br />adversely affecting the buffer if they were put in later by another entity. Robert Davis said yes. <br />Robert Davis answered several clarifying questions about the right-of-way and future <br />turn lanes. <br />Chair Jacobs asked if there was any way to assure that the repair area will not be placed <br />at the access point of the road on the north side and the road on the south side. Craig Benedict <br />said that there could be some flexibility and that repair areas could be moved away from this <br />access point. He said that it could be a condition of approval. <br />Steve Yuhasz said that they do not know where a road access would be at this point. <br />The access point on the south side is there because it provides the safest access. If there were <br />any way to provide access to the north side, they would want to do it there. He said that <br />committing to a certain access point would prevent them from doing anything significant with <br />this property. <br />Chair Jacobs suggested limiting the access for any number of lots greater than two on <br />the north side of the road. <br />Geof Gledhill said to leave the non-vehicular access off, directly across from Egg Road, <br />and then as part of the condition, allow it to be varied for up to two lots. <br />
