remain consistent, therefore remaining consistent with the TIA that has been submitted. In addition to that, there are bus drop-off locations identified inside the project, and we welcome input from committees or groups that are working with mass transit plans within the area to try and coordinate with those strategic plans. This is the main entrance here, this is a full access entrance — lefts in and out and rights in and out— it is signalized, and it will be the main artery into the development. From that point, we would anticipate that there will be a left or right movement into District I I or District III. Certainly, the size of this main road in is more than likely as depicted in the sections that are in your report, a four-lane section with a median, bike lanes, and crossovers. At some point that will probably be narrowed down to a two-lane facility as it reaches the back. We've shown a proposed stub-out and connectivity to the next parcel there at the easternmost point of the project. The drive just to the north of the main entrance at Buckhorn is a right in/right out. We envision that there would be a divided median on Buckhorn Road for some distance from the interchange. That right in/right out driveway will obviously only allow the outward movement to the north or an inward to the site coming from the south. We anticipate connectivity or alignment in some fashion with the Petro driveways, which we will investigate as we go forward. The southernmost entrance is, like Tyson indicated earlier, left out/right out and potentially just a right in, no left in. That also is probably a three-lane section, which is in your report. As far as further circulation, we're just showing driveways and streets that somewhat traverse throughout each district to provide access. Those are things that I alluded to earlier that may or may not be exactly in the same location as the site plan. UTILITY PLAN Mr. Hutchins introduced the letter from the City of Mebane earlier. We met with the City of Mebane as well as County staff and the County Engineer. As I alluded to earlier, the master plan for water and sewer infrastructure in this area, we are complying with the future buildout of that infrastructure. We have a phased utility plan in respect to the potentially phased development, which means that we will step into the full buildout of the water and sewer. We will initially probably work off a temporary pump station for up to about 165-185,000 square feet. That temporary pump station would pump to an outfall just west of Buckhorn Road. At some point in time after that, upon development of the next stages, we would install the ten-inch gravity main that crosses from the Buckhorn property cross-country to the Gravelly School pump station. That is in compliance with the master plan that is referred to in the design manual. That ten-inch line will be a gravity line that will serve the entire buildout of Buckhorn Village. The Gravelly pump station will have moderate upgrades to allow that station to facilitate what we anticipate being 180,000 to 200,000 gallons per day of wastewater. That full capacity will be pumped up an existing six-inch force main that is along West Ten Road at this point in time, and will be further extended from West TenlBuckhorn to a regional pump station that is just west of the site on Bowman Road. The City of Mebane is, I believe, finishing that project within the next month or so. It is a large regional pump station that would handle this and much more capacity. Water line service for predominantly fire flow is the problem with the site. We need to have probably around 2,500 gallons per minute for fire flow service. In discussion with Daryl Russell and the City of Mebane, we will extend an approximately 16-inch water line from the northern side of 1-85 coming from the Washington Street area, and it will be taken down Buckhorn Road, crossing over 1-85, and connecting in to an existing 12-inch line just adjacent to the site. That should provide sufficient fire flow and water capacity. Mr. Hutchins called Roger Perry to provide testimony on sustainability, site selection, etc.
