© W U 25 Price asked about development on the other side of the walkway. Cameron responded that there is agriculture to the north,and other surrounding tracts are large. Price asked if it was active agriculture and Mr.Pagano responded that agriculture is dwindling in the area. Price continued expressing concern regarding residential development next to agricultural use and potential problems. Mr. Pagano responded that he felt it would be more of a benefit because of the open fields and woodlands nearby. He continued that the farming activity in the area is decreasing he felt that the area would soon be mostly residential. The pedestrian easement around the subdivision provides an additional buffer. The lots are very deep,so the property owners will be able to build their homes near the center of the lots,if they wish to,which allows them to buffer themselves. Brooks asked about lot 9 which is a flag lot. Cameron responded that it is on a cul- de-sac and the minimum required lot width is twenty feet. There is an exception when the entire frontage of the lot is on the bulb of the cul-de-sac. MOTION: Rosemond moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Hoecke. VOTE: Unanimous. (3) North Hill (19 Lots-Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in Chapel Hill Township between Whitfield Road(SR 1731/1730)and Interstate 40 in the Rural Buffer. Adjacent land uses include Stoneridge and Sedgefield subdivisions and undeveloped tracts to the east. The tract is zoned Rural Buffer and Major Transportation Corridor. It is not located in a protected watershed.In 1994 the average daily traffic count for Whitfield Road was 3800 and 3900 at the eastern end near Erwin Road.Whitfield Road is designated as a collector. The applicant proposes to subdivide a total of 75 acres into 19 new residential lots that average 3.78 acres in size. The lots will have access to Whitfield Road from one entrance leading to two new public roads each ending in a cul de sac. Each lot will have an individual well and septic system.Lots 2,3, 18 and 19 will have easements on other lots for sewage disposal.The easements shown for lots 2 and 3 will be reversed so that they will not cross each other. A 100-foot land use buffer is required adjacent to the interstate right-of-way.Five feet of additional right-of-way and a 30-foot land use buffer are indicated adjacent to Whitfield Road.No buildings or structures are allowed in the buffers;however, driveways,utilities,wells,and septic systems are permitted. Installing the septic line connecting lot 2 to its drainfield will not require significant clearing in the buffer along Whitfield Road. The Concept Plan for North Hill was approved on October 16, 1995 for 21 lots with public roads.
