00093 <br /> indicated they will require three additional personnel and two additional <br /> vehicles to provide adequate protection. The Orange County Rescue Squad can <br /> presently provide service for this development. <br /> The Town of Hillsborough, in a letter dated November 12, 1985 to <br /> the Board of Commissioners, expressed a concern about the traffic safety and <br /> congestion along Highway 70 especially in the Cameron Park School area and in <br /> downtown Hillsborough and recommended as a requirement for approval of the <br /> project substantial improvements to Highway 70 and St. Mary's Road. Other <br /> conditions of approval include: (1) provide curb and gutter along all streets, <br /> (2) provide sidewalks along both sides of the streets within the residential <br /> areas, (3) construct the lift station at the southeast section of the project <br /> of sufficient size to accommodate any future connections by property owners <br /> along St. Mary's Road, (4) install sewer lines more than 100 feet from Nancy <br /> Hill creek. The preliminary utilities plan indicates that sewer lines are to <br /> be installed at least 50-80 feet from the creek. Members also asked that the <br /> lines be placed on a 6" sand base with additional protective measures to help <br /> prevent any leakage, (5) install mercury lights throughout the project area as <br /> the project develops for additional security, (6) provide more recreation <br /> space than the proposed 6.0 acres at the north end of the single family <br /> development, and spread out the open space/recreation areas in order to more <br /> adequately serve the single-family lots. Provide a "greenway area" along <br /> Nancy Hill Creek with a jogging trail and other recreational activities, (7) <br /> install a traffic light immediately at the intersection of St. Mary's Road and <br /> Highway 70 Bypass, (8) provide a minimum side and rear setback area of 20 feet <br /> rather than 15 feet for each single-family lot, (9) submit data concerning the <br /> amount of impervious surface to be added by the project, and (10) require the <br /> developer to place on file with the Town of Hillsborough a petition for <br /> voluntary annexation for the proposed project area. <br /> Collins presented the staff's recommendation. He explained that <br /> the applicant must comply with specific standards for a planned development <br /> and that given the three different types of development the applicant must <br /> comply with the specific standards for each of the three types. In addition to <br /> the standards for a planned development, all the other development standards <br /> contained in the Orange County Zoning Ordinance must be met. The planning <br /> staff has found that the applicant does comply with all the requirements for <br /> approval and, therefore, recommends approval of the planned development <br /> rezoning request and issuance of a Class A Special Use Permit with conditions <br /> as listed below: <br /> 1. The grantee of this Special Use Permit shall post with Orange <br /> County, in a form acceptable to the County Attorney, a bond or letter of <br /> credit in an amount equal to the cost of all public improvements plus 10%. <br /> The amount shall be determined on the basis of fully executed construction <br /> contracts or certification by a registered engineer employed by the grantee of <br /> this Special Use Permit. Security for construction of the improvements in <br /> this project may follow phasing in the project. Specifically, as improvements <br /> are completed in each phase a corresponding amount of money may be released <br /> from the security instruments or the security instruments may be renegotiated <br /> based on the "yet to do" portion of the improvements. <br /> 2.
