032 <br /> 23. The development shall be built and operated according to the site <br /> Plan and written narrative supplied by the developer and in compliance with the <br /> above conditions. <br /> Smith particularly noted condition #6, which addresses roads within the <br /> mobile home park, and condition #13 which addresses recreational areas, as they <br /> address courtesy review recommendations received. <br /> Kizer inquired if there was a stub out to the western property line. <br /> Smith responded no. Kizer further inquired what was on the other side of this <br /> property and Smith responded that there was a large tract of undeveloped land <br /> behind this tract. <br /> Kizer asked why this request came in as a planned development rather than <br /> a straight subdivision. <br /> Smith responded that a planned development was required to pursue a <br /> mobile home park. A straight subdivision would provide for individual lots <br /> for sale or lease. <br /> Kizer noted that there would be less units in the planned development <br /> than in a straight subdivision. Smith responded this was correct and that, in <br /> addition, there was a 100' buffer proposed around the perimeter of the <br /> property. <br /> Carey inquired if the existing house near the entrance to Craig Road was <br /> going to remain and Smith responded yes. <br /> Commissioner Lloyd questioned whether the applicant chose the planned <br /> development as his option rather than subdivision and Smith responded that the <br /> applicant chose to pursue a planned development application. <br /> Willhoit stated that the proposal assumed that the soil was suitable for <br /> septic systems. Smith noted that the applicant worked with the Health <br /> Department before designing the property. The areas set aside for recreation <br /> and open space are areas that are not suitable for septic tanks. <br /> Willhoit inquired if data were available as to the number of school age <br /> children that would be in a development such as this. Smith responded no data <br /> was available. Willhoit further suggested a turnoff or waiting area for <br /> school buses. Smith noted that no precedent had been set for waiting areas. <br /> Willhoit noted it could be hazardous for school children waiting for buses. <br /> Wilson inquired if the school district was Orange or Durham County and <br /> Smith responded Orange County. <br /> Wilson inquired about Health Department approval for septic tanks and <br /> Smith responded Preliminary approval had been given by the Health Department. <br /> Shanklin asked the approximate distance to Willowhaven Country Club. <br /> Smith did not have this information. <br />
