(3) Raineywood Phases 2&3 (Cheeks Township- 19 Lots) Presentation by Eddie Kirk. The property is located on Raineywood Drive off the east side of Daniels Farm Road in Cheeks Township. Daniels Farm Road is a public road off the north side of West Lebanon Road(SR 1306)and was created in 1990 when Buck Run subdivision was approved. The property is zoned R-1 and designated Back Creek Watershed(BACK-PW)in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The area proposed for development is 38.81 acres in size with 19 lots proposed. Lot sizes range from 40,260 sq. ft.to 4.3 acres. All lots are proposed to be served by individual wells and septic tanks. Phase I (seven lots)was approved on August 10, 1994,and is located predominately on the south side of the stream in the southwest corner of the original tract. A portion of lot 5 of Phase 1 extends to the north side of the stream between lots 10, 11,and 12 of Phase 2, in order to accommodate an area for septic disposal. Access into Phases 2&3 is provided by the extension of Raineywood Drive which was approved in Phase 1. Any further development may generate the need for a traffic impact study. A traffic impact study is required when a subdivision contains 80 or more dwelling units or where the estimated traffic generated by the subdivision exceeds 800 trips per day. Buck Run and Raineywood Phase 1 have a total of 52 lots.The 19 additional lots brings the total to 71. The Planning Board unanimously approved the Concept Plan for Raineywood Phases 2&3 on May 20, 1996,prior to the adoption of flexible development standards. The subdivision layout is the same as approved on the Concept Plan. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for Raineywood Phases 2&3 subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval(attachment to these minutes on pages ). Andrews asked about the overall effect on the water table. Collins responded that a study has been done by USGS that indicates that there is no substantial impact on the water table from development as is occurring in Orange County. In response to further questions from Selkirk regarding acquifer,Collins stated that copies of the Ground Water Recharge Report by USGS can be provided for Planning Board members at the next meeting.
