M • Fourth Action — The BOCC reviews and take action on the Preliminary Plat application at its scheduled October 21, 2014 meeting. • Fifth Action — Once all construction activities have been completed, or appropriate bonds have been approved, staff will sign off and allow the recordation of a Final Plat allowing for the individual lots to be created. Proposal: The petitioner has submitted a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application proposing to develop a 14 lot single - family residential subdivision with an overall proposed density for the project of 1 dwelling unit per every 1.8 acres of land area with approximately 17.21 acres (67.96% of the site) of dedicated open space. The following modification(s) have been made to the Preliminary Plat application in an effort to address staff, Planning Board, and adjacent property owner comments associated with the approved Concept Plan- 1 . Proposed lot lines were adjusted to comply with NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) requirements on the development of the roadway, to accommodate infrastructure needs (i.e. utility lines, stormwater, etc.), and to reduce potential impacts to existing environmentally sensitive areas. 2. The stormwater basin was revised to comply with Orange County Erosion Control standards and to avoid placing said infrastructure within identified environmentally sensitive areas. A summary of the proposal is as follows: Subdivision Type Number of Lots Average Lot Size Area in Open Space Open Space Percentage Conservation Cluster 14 20,914 sq. ft. 17.21 acres 67.96% in Flexible Development common Plan (Ranging from open space 16,012 sq. ft. to 39,794 sq. ft.) (33% required by the UDO) STAFF COMMENT — UDO REQUIREMENTS: The proposal is in accordance with the anticipated densities for properties located within the Agricultural Residential land use category as defined within the adopted Comprehensive Plan, and Rural designated areas as denoted on the Growth Management Systems Map. The size of the parcels is consistent for projects served by public water and sewer. Section 7.13.4 9B) (6) of the UDO allows for a reduction in required lot size, up to 65 %, within Conservation Cluster Flexible Development subdivisions where individual lots are served by public sewer. It should be noted that in absence of such services, reduction of minimum lot sizes below one acre would be prohibited. Roads: The proposal involves the creation of a single public road to service the project, constructed to applicable NC Department of Transportation (DOT) and Town of Hillsborough roadway standards. The applicant intends to turn this road over for maintenance to the appropriate entity once the development is completed.
