views, or preserve wildlife, botanical, historic, archaeological 16 <br /> and/or recreation sites. <br /> (The proposed subdivision will not be visible from public roads. <br /> The first lot is over 300 feet from Pleasant Green Road with woods <br /> between the road and the building site.) <br /> 2. The number, location and/or size of lots to be located in the subdivision <br /> are such that, even if constructed to State standards,the streets would not <br /> be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or other State <br /> requirements; „ <br /> (Upon buildout, the subdivision will meet NCDOT density requirements.) <br /> 3. Recreation and/or open space areas, including lands containing significant <br /> botanical,wildlife,historic and/or archaeological sites, are to be dedicated <br /> and/or preserved through restrictive covenants in amounts significantly <br /> greater than required by standards for recreation/open space dedication. <br /> (Not applicable) <br /> 4. Significantly larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes,and/or other <br /> design features are proposed as part of a subdivision to be located in a <br /> Protected Watershed as designated on the Orange County Comprehensive <br /> Plan to reduce the amount of impervious surface and cause infiltration of <br /> storm water runoff to prevent the pollution of water supply reservoirs. <br /> (This subdivision is located in the Lower Eno protected watershed. A <br /> private road would create less disturbance and less impervious surface <br /> than a public road The lots are also significantly larger than required.) <br /> 5. Topographic and environmental features, such as streams, steep slopes, or <br /> watersheds, that would be adversely affected by the use of roads <br /> constructed to State standards because of factors such as significant <br /> amounts of earthwork(cut and fill)that would contribute to increased <br /> run-off of stormwater and siltation. <br /> (Building the road to State standards would require grading significantly <br /> more area than with the proposed private road. <br /> 6. The site is already developed to 100%of the capacity which could be <br /> achieved after approval of the subdivision and some or all of the non- <br /> conforming aspects of existing development on the site will be made more <br /> conforming as a result of the proposed subdivision, and all conforming <br /> aspects of the development will remain conforming. <br /> (Not applicable.) <br /> 3 <br />
