Specifically, the plan calls for: • A roadway, approximately 660 linear feet in length, terminating in a cul -de -sac. The construction of the proposed roadway will not involve any stream crossings. There are no opportunities for connectivity associated with this project. To do so would require the crossing of a major stream and floodplain. Also the southern property, which is in the Town of Hillsborough's corporate limits, is being developed as a commercial /industrial park with no street stub connections. STAFF COMMENT - ROADS: Staff has determined that the proposed roadway construction and layout is consistent with the requirements of the UDO. It also avoids impacting environmentally sensitive areas (e.g. wetlands and streams). In reviewing the matter with Mr. D'Angelo Jones of NC DOT and Ms. Margaret Hauth of the Town of Hillsborough, staff indicated they have no concerns over the proposed roadway development, or its proposed public street access to Stroud's Creek Road. If desired by the Orange County School System and NCDOT, the developer has proposed the construction of a 5' wide sidewalk along the right -of -way of Stroud's Creek Road. The sidewalk would be located within or alongside the right -of -way of the new residential street connection to the second access drive for Pathways Elementary School. Utilities: The applicant is proposing to serve the project with public water and sewer provided by the Town of Hillsborough. The applicant has indicated that, where allowed and feasible, electrical utility services for the residential homes will be located below ground. STAFF COMMENT - UTILITIES: The Town of Hillsborough has already approved (and provided a utility agreement) to serve the property with public water (4" domestic line and 8 -12" fire line) and a 8" sanitary sewer line. Please refer to an e-mail from Mr. Kenny Keel, Town of Hillsborough, contained within Attachment 3 for additional information. Stormwater Drainage: Drainage will be engineered according to Best Management Practices (BMP) at the time of permit application for construction. The property is subject to recently adopted stormwater management guidelines limiting total nitrogen runoff of 2.2 pounds per acre annually and 0.33 pounds per acres annually for total phosphorus. STAFF COMMENT — STORMWATER DRAINAGE. Orange County Erosion Control has indicated the applicant will need to submit a detailed stormwater management plan for the project for review and approval prior to the commencement of land disturbing activities. The project will also require an Erosion Control permit. Please refer to Attachment 3 for additional information.
