Update on Development Adjoining Twin Creeks Park 26 27 Carrboro Planning Director Trish McGuire reviewed the background information from the 28 abstract. She said the site is under construction, though there were some extensions and 29 delays associated with economic conditions. 30 She said the phasing plan was modified, and one of the plans was modified to increase 31 residential density and include a small commercial component. She said a conditional use 32 permit modification is needed to approve a site plan that conforms to the permitted zoning. 33 She said there is a permit condition that requires the property owner to provide a bond 34 in conjunction with one of the street extensions on the eastern boundary line on Jones Creek. 35 She said this condition requires the developer to put up a bond for their share of the 36 transportation improvement and bridge. She said the stream crossing needs a permit from the 37 Army Corp of Engineers, and the town is the most appropriate body to pursue that permit. She 38 said steps have been taken to prepare for this application. 39 She said the permit kicks in when the final plat is signed, and the developer would be 40 obligated for 10 years to hold that bond. 41 Commissioner Gordon referred to the map on the last page of the package.
