028 1450 Craig Road in Eno Township. The purpose of this request is to permit construction of a 32 unit mobile home park. The property in question is known as Lot 24A of Tax Map 16 in Eno Township. The property is partially located within Lebanon Township in Durham County. The applicant is requesting approval of those units wholly within Orange County. A subsequent request will be made to Durham County for the remaining units. The property is located within an Agricultural-Residential area as designated on the Orange County Land Use Plan. That designation permits single-family residential housing. The present zoning classification of the property is Agricultural Residential (A R). The requested designation is PD- H-A-R. Certain development standards must be met and a Special Use Permit must be obtained for development to proceed. Approval of the request would allow a 32-unit mobile home park to be constructed on the site. The Durham district DOT has recommended a single entrance and 10' x 70' sight triangles with 50' tapers. A letter from Durham County Planning Department was cited which provided a courtesy review of the request and indicated they had no problems with the application. A letter from the Orange County Recreation and Parks Department was also cited which addressed some of the concerns raised by staff concerning the recreation area. (This letter is in the permanent agenda file.) A letter from Samuel M. Holton who owns 65 acres of land in Durham County directly across from the proposed Oakwood Estates was then cited which was in opposition to the mobile home park.
