16 <br /> • Some of the group did not want to see any change to the residential character of the area, <br /> and indicated that they would support changing the Land Use Plan designation to allow <br /> only residential use. <br /> • Others were not opposed to non-residential development, but wanted some assurance of <br /> when development would occur before rezoning the property. They did not want to lose <br /> the potential for residential development if it would be a long time before non-residential <br /> development would happen, <br /> • There was considerable discussion about water and sewer extension. Several believed <br /> that the County should extend water and sewer to the area in order to attract business. <br /> Water and Sewer <br /> Buckhom Road is the approximate boundary between Haw Creek and Upper Eno Watersheds. <br /> The east side of Buckhom Road is in the Upper Eno Watershed, and could best be served by the <br /> Efland sewer system from the standpoint of maximizing the use of gravity flow. The area on <br /> the west side of Buckhom Road would best be served by the Mebane sewer system for the same <br /> reason. Only the area on the east side of Buckhom Road is proposed to be included in the EDD at <br /> this time. The possible inclusion of area on the west side of Buckhom Road will be considered <br /> at a later public hearing, after coordination with the City of Mebane on cooperative planning <br /> issues. <br /> Inclusion of the area between the I-85 and West Ten in the EDD could result in more efficient <br /> and cost-effective sewer service. Four intermittent streams in the EDD on the north side of I-85 <br /> converge on the south side of I-85 near West Ten Road. If sewer service is provided only on the <br /> north side of 1-85,then as many as four pump stations could be required to convey wastewater to <br /> a discharge point in a gravity section of the Efland sewer system. If sewer service is planned <br /> for both the north and south side, then gravity lines could carry wastewater from throughout the <br /> district to a single pump station in the vicinity of West Ten. A system which relies on gravity <br /> flow to the greatest possible extent, minimizing the number of pump stations needed, would be <br /> more cost effective, even considering that the gravity lines would need to be extended underneath <br /> 1-85. <br /> A major concern raised at the public information meeting held for area residents on March 12, <br /> 1996 concerned the lack of existing infrastructure as an incentive for development. Although all <br /> of the Economic Development Districts are expected to develop over a number of years, rather <br /> than in the near future, there were concerns with value in the more near future, since residential <br /> development would no longer be an option. <br /> Impacts on Neighborhood <br /> Staff has identified 17 single-family residences and mobile homes within the boundaries of the <br /> proposed expansion. Clear view Subdivision, approved in 1994, is the only subdivision <br /> located on the north side of West Ten, and is not proposed to be included in the EDD. Five of <br /> the subdivision's 30 lots have been developed. A resident of the subdivision was concerned with <br /> impacts of the EDD on the neighborhood, as was the owner of the adjoining mobile home park. <br /> Several property owners in the portion of the Study Area near Mt. Willing Road and West Ten, <br /> indicated that they wished for the existing residential character of the area to remain. Most of <br />
