Ten(10)residential <br /> lots are proposed on a 10.4 acre tract. The current zoning is Rural Residential and <br /> Lower Eno Protected Watershed. <br /> The land drains to the northeast corner where a small intermittent stream from a <br /> nearby pond flows under the railroad. A stream buffer is provided along the <br /> stream; a 50-foot land use buffer is required adjacent to the railroad right-of-way. <br /> The site is almost entirely wooded except for a small garden area and an overhead <br /> power line on the western portion of the tract. The trees on site are mixed pines <br /> and hardwoods approximately 25 years old, which indicates that the land was <br /> farmed in the recent past. <br />
