6/19/95 Planning Board Minutes 8 AGENDA ITEM #8: SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS a. Preliminary Plans ( 1) Hannah Creek - Revision to Preliminary Plan Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located on the west side of High Rock Road (SR 1340) near the Orange-Alamance County line. It is zoned Agricultural Residential with an overlay district of Back-PW, and is designated Agricultural Residential and Back Creek Watershed in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The tract contains 84 .62 acres. A tributary of Back Creek flows through the western portion of the property. There is some open area on the south side of the creek, and the remainder of the tract is wooded. On November 1, 1994, the Board of Commissioners approved a Preliminary Plan for Hannah Creek Subdivision. The subdivision included 45 residential lots. Important features of the subdivision included a conservation easement along a perennial stream on the western portion of the property and a five-acre open space lot. These features, as well as setbacks, tree protection and other design standards which exceed Orange County requirements were found to justify access by a combination of public and private roads. The applicant proposes to revise the Preliminary Plan as follows: 1) Create a new lot (labeled B) containing 2 .2 acres for a playing field to be owned by the homeowners association; and 2) Combine two lots (Lots Al and A2) ; and 3) Create a new lot (Lot 25) adjacent to the open space lot (Lot AR, the Jean McArthur Davis Arboretum; and 4) Adjust lot lines as needed to accommodate the creation of Lot 25 and Lot B, and/or to more closely approximate the surveyed location of lot lines as they will appear on the Final Plat. The total number of residential lots in the subdivision remains unchanged. The size of the previously-approved open space lot is reduced
