} D t ru u i Z/4196 FLAMAJI bo4ev NIuUT 5 15 b. Preliminary Plans (1) Clarence Loftin (9 Lots-Cheeks Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in Cheeks Township on the west side of Frazier Road(SR 13 10)two-thirds mile south of West Lebanon Road(SR 1306). It is situated on the ridge line between the Upper Eno and the Back Creek protected watersheds,which is also the boundary between the Neuse and Cape Fear River basins. The zoning is Rural Residential(R-1),Upper-Eno- PW,and Back-PW. Adjacent land uses are residential. The total acreage of the tract is 17.1 acres.Nine(9)new residential lots are proposed that range in size from I to 6 acres. All lots will be served by individual wells and septic systems. A private Class B road is proposed to provide access to all nine lots from Frazier Road. The applicant's private road justification and Staff evaluation are attachments to these minutes on pages .The applicant has also submitted restrictive covenants to ensure tree protection,larger setbacks/building envelopes,and to prohibit further subdivision. The private road is justified through the property's location in protected watersheds,lower density than the maximum allowed,larger setbacks than the minimum required,landscaping to screen the view of the eastern lots from the public road,and covenants to protect open space and limit clearing of trees. In addition,the subdivision design proposed is consistent with other subdivisions in the Frazier Road area which include short private cul de sacs and 2-acre average lot sizes. On July 9, 1996,the Planning Board approved the Concept Plan for the Clarence Loftin Property. The subdivision design shown on the Preliminary Plan is identical to the Concept Plan. Cameron noted a change in the Resolution of Approval to Item#F 3- sentence 4 should read: These setback requirements and building envelopes,with dimensions, shall be shown on the Final Plat,and referenced in a document describing development restrictions and requirements to be prepared by Planning Staff and recorded concurrently with the Final Plat. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for the Clarence Loftin subdivision with a Class B private road subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval(an attachment to these minutes on pages ). Barrows asked about lot 31 on the tax map west of the proposed subdivision. Her concern was that the adjacent lot was so narrow that getting road access into the property could be difficult. Cameron
