7 Approximately 12 acres of the park site is proposed to be dedicated with the Final Plat.for Phase II. This initial dedication satisfies dedication or payment-in-lieu requirements for both Phase I and Phase II. The remaining 18 acres will be dedicated proportionally with Phases III and IV. The Recreation and Parks Advisory County (RPAC)recommends acceptance of the offer to dedicate 12 acres of the proposed park site with Phase II,anticipating that the remainder of the 30-acre site will be dedicated with Phases III and IV. (See attached memorandum from Bob Jones, Recreation and Parks Director.) COMMENTS FROM COUNTY ATTORNEY Comments from the County Attorney are included in the November 4 agenda packet. The issues mentioned are addressed on the Preliminary Plan(which has been revised) and/or in the attached Resolution of Approval. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION The Planning Board considered the Preliminary Plan on October 2, 1996, and recommended approval by a 7-3 vote. Concerns expressed by some of the Planning Board members included use and design of a community well system, and the cumulative impacts of developing the entire area encompassed by the Concept Plan on traffic, schools and groundwater. (See attached minutes.) A traffic study for the entire Concept Plan area was submitted as part of the subdivision application for Phase H Improvements applicable to Phase II recommended in the Study, as well as those recommended by the Orange County Transportation Planner, are included in the attached Resolution of Approval. The fiscal impact analysis performed for Phase I indicates a positive net fiscal impact of $43,640 in the estimated year of completion (1998). The fiscal impact analysis performed for Phase II indicates a positive net fiscal impact of $68,231 in the estimated year of completion (1998). School impact fees ($750 per residence))for Phases I and II, based on the 108 lots included in the Preliminary Plans, will total $81,000 upon buildout. The Water Resources Committee is developing information regarding groundwater quantity and quality in Orange County. An early step in this process, a pilot project being undertaken with the U.S. Geological Survey, will produce generalized basin-by- basin rates ofgroundwater recharge. Future steps will result in more focused information. However, the ability to ultimately predict groundwater yield on a site- by-site basis is not expected. The two wells drilled for Phase 1(4 7 lots)produced yields of 58 gallons per minute (gpm) and 18 gpm, at a depth of 500 feet and 540 feet respectively. The minimum well yield required by the Division of Environmental Health is.56 gpm, or 25.2 gpm for a 47-lot development.
