A 15.52 acre tract will be remaining for <br /> future development. <br /> Access to the property is from Phase H of Grand Oak Estates. When this phase was <br /> approved there was a stubout constructed to the eastern property line. Access will be <br /> through this stubout. The streets will be public and constructed to NCDOT <br /> standards. Access to the 15.52 acre tract,when developed,will be through a right- <br /> of-way that was established when Phase I was developed.This access will be <br /> required to be constructed to State standards with development of the 15.52 acre <br /> tract. <br /> Each lot will be served by individual wells and septic tanks except lot 61 which was <br /> found to be unsuitable for a septic system. <br /> The Planning Board approved the Concept Plan for Grand Oak Estates Phase IV on <br /> April 15, 1996. The road layout is the same as approved on the Concept Plan.The <br /> southern cul-de-sac has been moved closer to the eastern property line for septic <br /> purposes. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for Grand Oak <br /> Estates Phase IV subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval <br /> (an attachment to these minutes on pages ). <br /> Barrows asked about lot 61 from the concept plan.
