4 <br /> along Buckhorn Road from 50 feet to 100 feet, and would require that service <br /> stations receive Special Use Permit approval from the Board of Commissioners. <br /> There were also questions from the Board of Commissioners concerning the cost <br /> of providing sewer service to the district. A cost estimate prepared by the <br /> County Engineer is attached. <br /> The Planning Board considered the proposed expansion of the EDD on June 17, <br /> 1996, and recommended approval of the following by a 6-1 vote (minutes <br /> attached). <br /> 1) Designate the 587-acre area shown on the attached map as EDD Primary <br /> Development Area, subject to the same set of permitted uses as the <br /> portion of the EDD on the north side of I-85. The area of the <br /> recommended expansion is bounded by Buckhorn Road to the west, West <br /> Ten Road to the south, I-85 to the north, and the boundary of the Upper <br /> Eno Critical Area to the east, excluding Clearview Subdivision and the <br /> adjacent mobile home park, and the 2.6-acre parcel containing the existing <br /> service station at the southeast corner of Buckhorn Road and I-85. <br /> 2) Provide a 150' buffer around the perimeter of the Clearview subdivision <br /> and adjacent mobile home park. (A 100' buffer is required on the <br /> remainder of the perimeter by the standard provisions of the EDD Design <br /> Manual.) <br /> 3) Update the EDD Design Manual to include reference to and general <br /> discussion of the expanded area. The only proposed change to the <br /> existing design standards is the inclusion of a 150-foot buffer around <br /> Clearview Subdivision and the adjacent mobile home park. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the expansion of the <br /> Buckhorn Road Economic Development District per the Planning <br /> Board's recommendation described in 1), 2) and 3) above, with the <br /> exception of the 2.6-acre parcel containing the existing service station at <br /> the southeast corner of Buckhorn Road and I-85. The Administration <br /> recommends that the decision with regard to that parcel be tabled in order <br /> to further consider the impact of the EDD on the existing service station <br /> and its proposed expansion. <br />
