Harvey, AICP, CFM, CZO <br /> Current Planning Supervisor— Orange County Planning <br /> FROM: Abigaile Pittman, AICP <br /> Transportation & Land Use Planner— Orange County Planning <br /> DATE: August 7, 2012 <br /> SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW — Submission of a Class A Special Use <br /> Permit request for a 26-lot single-family residential subdivision <br /> (`Dunhill Subdivision') <br /> Weekly Homes proposes to develop Dunhill Subdivision, a 26-lot single-family <br /> subdivision with public collector street access off Mt. Sinai Road (SR 1718), and a <br /> second interior public local street within the subdivision. The proposed subdivision is <br /> located on property currently identified as PIN 9881-15-7138, totals approximately 68 <br /> acres, and would have a development density of 2.64 lots per acre. The proposed <br /> subdivision is zoned Rural Buffer (RB) and is designated as a Rural Buffer area on the <br /> Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map, with a portion of the site in the southwest corner of <br /> the site designated as a Resource Protection Area. The proposed development is <br /> subject to the development criteria specified in the 2011 UDO, the 2008 Orange County <br /> 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and the 1986 Orange County Joint Planning Area (JPA) <br /> Land Use Plan with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. <br /> Comments regarding the proposed Dunhill Subdivision follow: <br /> 1. Per the Orange County UDO, Section 2.5.3(H) a traffic study is not required <br /> because the proposed development is less than 40 lots, and the 26 lots proposed <br /> will only generate an estimated 249 vehicle trips per day (per the Institute of <br /> Transportation Engineers ITE Trip Generation manual, 8th Edition). <br /> 2. The proposed public streets comply with the minimum construction standards <br /> adopted by the N.C. DOT for acceptance of streets as additions to the State <br /> Highway System. <br />
