2. RAM'S WOODS - PRELIMINARY PLAN <br /> Greg Szymik presented for consideration the preliminary plan for <br /> Ram's Woods, a proposed cluster subdivision. The tract is 15 acres and <br /> located at the end of Crossroads Church Cemetery Road. The property is <br /> zoned Residential-1 and designated as Rural Residential on the Land Use <br /> Plan. Seven lots are proposed surrounded by 6. 94 acres of common open <br /> space. The Planning Board recommended approval subject to five condi- <br /> tions: <br /> (1) Dedicate Ram's Way as a public road to be constructed to State <br /> standards. <br /> (2) Provide restrictive covenants for review by the County <br /> Attorney. <br /> (3) Revise the vicinity map to show the location of the sub- <br /> division and the road names. <br /> (4) Provide a separate plan which indicates all the required <br /> recreation improvements (0.42 acre) . <br /> (5) Increase lot #7 in size to provide 0.92 acres (40, 000 sq. ft. ) , <br /> since it will be dependent upon its own onsite wastewater <br /> disposal system. <br /> The Administration recommends approval with the amendment of <br /> condition No. 1 as follows: Dedicate Ram's Way as a public road designed <br /> and constructed to State standards. <br /> Discussion ensued on private versus public roads. <br /> The applicant James Collins asked that a private road be approved. <br /> He stated that the subdivision is at the very end of an unpaved State road <br /> with a cemetery on one side, a power right-of-way on one side, a small <br /> subdivision on one side and undeveloped land on the fourth side. A road <br /> maintenance agreement would require that the property owners be respon- <br /> sible for maintaining the road. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell to approve the prelimi- <br /> nary plan for Ram's Woods with conditions 2 , 3, 4, and 5 as stated above. <br /> MOTION DIED FOR A LACK OF A SECOND. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commis- <br /> sioner Carey to approve the preliminary plan for Ram's Woods with <br /> condition No. 1 as amended by the Administration and Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5 <br /> as listed above. <br /> VOTE: AYES, 3 ; NOES, 1 (Commissioner Hartwell) . <br /> 3 .

The Planning Board <br /> recommended approval of Sykes Glen with a Class B private road and subject <br /> to three conditions: <br /> (1) Provide a copy of the restrictive covenants for review by the <br /> County Attorney to insure that a condition is included to <br /> prohibit further subdivision of the proposed nine lots. <br /> (2) Realign the entrance and clear for the sight distance as per <br /> NCDOT recommendation. <br /> (3) Access to Sykes Glen Trail should be restricted to only the <br /> nine lots in the subdivision. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to approve the preliminary plan for Sykes Glen subject to three <br /> conditions as listed above. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> 4.
