r Dt2/4f9ro PLaA MIA1Ct b4Arty mmlu m 15 (2) Holman Heirs Subdivision (6 Lots-Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in Chapel Hill Township west of the intersection of Old School Road(SR 1941)and Moon Ridge Road(SR 1973)south of Jones Ferry Road(SR 1942)in the University Lake Watershed portion of the Rural Buffer. The tract consists of two lots of record zoned Rural Buffer and University Lake Protected Watershed. Adjacent land uses are residential. There are two existing residential structures,two mobile homes which will be removed,and a shed on the property. A 100-foot Piedmont EMC power line right-of-way crosses the western portion of the site running north-outh. A 50-foot land use buffer is required adjacent to both sides of the power line right-of-way. The total acreage of the tract is 17.18 acres. The land contains a knoll near the center of the site with northwest facing slopes that range from 10-22 percent gradients.The southeast facing slopes do not exceed 16 percent. The proposed subdivision consists of two adjacent lots of record as of October 2, 1989 when the current watershed protection standards were adopted. The Zoning Ordinance allows the tracts to be combined for development,provided the resultant subdivided lots do no exceed the sum of the number of lots which could be created from each lot of record. Out of 17 acres,the maximum number of lots which could be proposed is eight (8). Six lots are proposed which average 2.86 acres in size. Lot 1 and 6 contain existing residences. Each lot will have an individual well and septic system and will have access to Old School Road via a proposed private road. The private road will extend an existing private right-of-way and will follow the existing driveway currently serving the two residences. The applicant's private road justification and the Planning Staff s analysis are attachments to these minutes on pages The private road is justified through the subdivision's location in a protected watershed,the steep slopes on site,and the fact that the subdivision will not be visible from the public road. The Planning Staff recommends that the proposed private road meet Class B standards. The Planning Staff also recommends that the cul de sac be shortened by about 60 feet and shifted southeast to minimize grading. - The Concept Plan for the Holman Heirs Subdivision was approved in 1995 for seven(7)lots on a Class B private road. With the Concept Plan,the Planning Staff recommended a joint driveway for lots 3 and 4 to minimize clearing and grading. After the sewage disposal sites and house sites were identified on the Preliminary Plan,separate driveways as shown appear to be a more efficient design. The driveway on lot 4 follows the existing grade requiring minimal clearing; therefore,the intent of the original condition is met.
