Attachment 2, which is a vicinity map created by staff is on page 150. Attachment 3 contains staff inemorandum from Orange County Solid Waste and Orange County Health Department. Attachment 4 is a fiscal analysis that we produced outlining the anticipated costs to service the proposed neighborhood and what monies the County could expect to receive from this project and if it is developed. Attachment 5 is notes of the neighborhood information meeting, which we are going to discuss in the general abstract. Attachment 6 is the Finding of No Significant Environmental Impact statement completed after County staff determined the project would not have any significant impacts on this and surrounding property. Finally we have the notification certification that we typically provide for these types of projects outlining our compliance with established notification requirements. As detailed on pages 4 and 5 of your abstract, the applicant is proposing a conventional subdivision on a parcel of property located in the Rural Buffer Zoning District. As we articulate in our abstract, this particular parcel of property is located in the rural portion of the County that is defined on our Growth Management System Map, and it is located within the Rural Buffer Rural Residential area as defined and noted within the Joint Land Use Plan that we have with the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The next slide is a vicinity map with the location of the property as well as a brief overview of surrounding development. As you will note, on the map that we have provided we have a mobile home park to the south, the J&J Mobile Home Park. To the east of this property, we have Triangle Land Conservancy property. This area denoted in green is a conservation easement. You also have to the north a major subdivision with lots ranging from 2-3 acres in area. You have to the southwest of this property the Green Valley subdivision with lots ranging from 40,000 square feet to two acres in size. To the west you have lots essentially one acre in area. Across the road is the Blackwood Forest subdivision with lots approximately two acres in area. The project as we identified in the abstract, the applicant is proposing lots with a minimum of two acres in area. The overall density for this project is one dwelling unit for every two acres. The proposed roads for this project will be built to DOT standards, and it's the applicant's desire to turn the roads over to NCDOT for maintenance at the appropriate time. According to the site plan lots 1-22 are going to be served by on-site septic systems. The applicant is proposing that lots 23-26 be served by an off-site septic area. The site plan denotes that there will be a utility easement transferring the affluent just outside of the NCDOT right-of- way to the proposed off-site septic area. There will be individual septic sites for each of these lots and there will not be one giant septic system. The rationale for that is to ensure that all four lots don't expect problems if the septic system fails. There will be a 30-foot land use buffer around the perimeter of this project and there will also be a 75-foot land use buffer along Mt Sinai Road as required by the code. The applicant is proposing at this point in time to service the project with a community well. This is going to be located on a proposed open space lot. There is also proposed to be picnic, recreational center, for use by all of the residents.
