J <br /> E N�T 3 <br /> 226 S. Churton St., Hillsborough, NC <br /> 732-6262 <br /> September 12, 1996 <br /> Emily Cameron <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough,NC <br /> RE: Section Two"New Hope Springs" <br /> Dear Emily: <br /> I hereby request an amendment to the phasing plan for Section Two,"New Hope Springs"as <br /> follows: <br /> Phase A to be completed by September 30, 1997 <br /> Phase B to be completed by September 30, 1999 <br /> Phase C to be completed by September 30,2001 <br /> Phase D to be completed by September 30, 2003 <br /> Consider: <br /> 1. Each lot has been granted preliminary approval by the Health Department for <br /> installation of septic systems and NCDOT approval has been obtained for the <br /> construction plans for the required turn lane. <br /> 2. Steve Kelly,the developer,has completed Eagles Chase Subdivision in Orange County, <br /> and six other subdivisions(totaling in excess of 60 lots)in Person County. <br /> 3. Installation of the turn I=has been delayed by the difficulty in finding competent <br /> paving contractors who are willing to offer competitive bids for construction of the <br /> improvements. <br /> 4. The public policy goals for this area of Orange County have not changed since <br /> the imtal approval of the Preliminary Plan. <br /> 5. The time limit for the completion of Section Two has not yet lapsed. <br /> 6. If the phasing plan amendment is not approved,the developer will be required to submit <br /> new developaimt plans under the flexible development guidelines. This property <br /> is located between the already developed and nearly built out Section One,and the <br /> remaining(Section Three)property which is located in the Rural Buffer,where <br /> flemble devdopment is not applicable.Given the development costs already <br /> acpended in the current plan(septic system approval and road plans),it is unlikely <br /> that the developer would choose an open space option. A conventional <br /> development plan would be identical to the approved Preliminary Plan,thus no <br /> practical purpose exists for requiring submission of a new Preliminary Plan. <br /> 7. While extended in time,the installation of improvements relative to the creation of new <br /> lots would be unchanged. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Steve F.Yuhasz <br /> for the developer,Steven L. Kelly <br />
