• A main collector road composed of a 50 foot right-of-way with a 20 foot improved travel way and natural drainage ditches on each side of the road. The collector road will terminate in a cul-de-sac near designated open space towards the southern property line, • A local road composed of a 50 foot right-of-way with a 20 foot improved travel way and natural drainage ditches on each side of the road. The local road shall be terminated in a cul- de-sac as denoted on the plan towards the southeastern property line, • According to the project engineer, the anticipated traffic volume generated by this development is approximately 249 trips per day at build out, i.e. on average 10 trips per household per day. • The site plan and application narrative denotes a 5 foot easement outside of the proposed DOT right-of-way to accommodate the proposed off-site sewer lines. STAFF COMMENT.� Staff has determined that the proposed roadway construction and layout is consistent with the requirements of the UDO. In reviewing the matter with Mr. Chuck Edwards of NC DOT staff has been informed there are no concerns over accepting the roads for maintenance so long as they are constructed to DOT standards. There will be, however, conditions associated with the project, specifically: 1. An encroachment agreement allowing for the location of proposed utility lines shall be required prior to the commencement of utility work, 2. A utility plan will be required for DOT and County review and approval denoting the location of all utility easement(s) and line locations within, and adjacent to, the proposed rights-of-way (i.e. water, sewer, electrical, phone, cable, gas, etc.). This plan is necessary to ensure adequate spacing between utility lines, proposed stormwater conveyances, and to clearly define who is allowed to operate within these easement areas, 3. DOT shall be involved with the review and approval of the stormwater plan for the project. Orange County Erosion Control shall coordinate the review and approval of the plan with DOT officials. The applicant has been made aware of these conditions and has not indicated any objection. Utilities — Water and Sewer: The project is located within the OWASA Long Term Interest Area as denoted on the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement (WASAMPBA) Map. Water and wastewater services are intended to be provided by individual well and septic systems. The applicant is proposing development of a community well to serve the project. The well is located on a 1.48 acre parcel designated as `open space' on the submitted site plan. The submitted site plan indicates wastewater disposal will be handled by individual septic systems located on lots 1 through 22 while lot(s) 23 through 26 will utilize a common, off-site septic area near the southern boundary of the project. As noted on the submitted site plan, a utility easement is located adjacent to the proposed roadways to accommodate the necessary septic and water lines for the project.
