BACKGROUND: The property is located in Chapel Hill Township on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129) one-half mile west of Ode Turner Road (SR 113 0) as shown on the attached vicinity map. The proposed division is considered a major subdivision because it proposes the sixth lot created from one parcel within four months. According to the definition of "minor subdivision" in the Subdivision Regulations, a maximum of five (5) lots, including the residual acreage, may be created from one tract within any 24-month period. The size of the parcel is 2.86 acres. The current zoning is Rural Residential (R-1). The subdivision is not located in a protected watershed. The site slopes very gradually toward a low drainage area located approximately 200 feet from the southwest corner of the property. This drainage pattern begins at a culvert under Davis Road, extends into a small manmade ditch for about 100 feet,then spreads out over a 30 to 50-foot area and may involve a spring. The flow at this point is southeast; however, it eventually turns northeast to form a tributary of Cates Creek located south of Hillsborough.
