162 - 1. Section 5.15.6(A)(1)(� of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that on off-road, pedestrian plan be submitted. To satisfy this requirements, a 25-foot access easement is noted at the terminus of Moinear Lane to access a rec/open space area.. The applicant is providing a rec area on-site (picnic shelter) and are planning to provide a payment to the County for park development as part of the payment-in-lieu program. The area in the protection area is being left in protected, dedicated, open space. 3. Possible connectivity to the adjacent Freeland Hills residential subdivision to the west was reviewed. The transportation staff concurs with the applicant that the only potential stub out location for connection to a current roadway would be at the western edge of the property where it appears to meet George Circle. However, what appears on the map to be an unimproved extension of George Circle is in fact two very small 30-foot wide residual lots at the terminus of George Circle. Additionally, as noted by the applicant, any potential road connection would involve a jurisdictional stream crossing and disturbance to the required 65-foot riparian buffer than separates these two properties. 4. The southwest corner of the subdivision site is designated as a Resource Protection Area on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map, which is also addressed by the Orange County Joint Planning Area (JPA) Land Use Plan with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Section VI of the JPA states that: "Resource Protection Areas in Transition Areas have been designated on the land Use Plan to include flood plains, and wetlands along drainage tributaries and steep slope areas (15%) or greater). These areas form the basis for a comprehensive parks and open space system which provides the framework within which other land use categories are to function. Parks have been generally located throughout the Joint Planning Area using a neighborhood park one-half mile service radius. The parks are linked together by a system of greenways extending along drainageways, and pedestrians routes (sidewalks) along thoroughfares." This issue will be addressed by the Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks & Recreation (DEAPR). �� Nr ,��.� . 4 � Subject Property � .� , • ' . � +_ L�,. � i ,.�.
