10 r Hope Springs Drive. Phase B of Section One 4_s ; 1 L' �-, zoned Residential-1, with a small portion in the Protected Watershed of the Upper Eno River. The Land Use Plan designations are Rural Residential and Water Supply Watershed. Adjacent land use is residential. The most recent ( 1987 ) traffic count information for this portion of Davis Road is 100 trips per day. The Final Plat of New Hope Springs, Section One Phase B was approved in October. In November, lot 18 was recombined to include approximately two acres to the west and a portion of lot 12. The proposed subdivision involves creating two new lots (three total) from lot 18 which is now 4 . 14 acres in size. The new residential lots average 1. 38 acres in size and will be served by new public roads, individual wells and septic tanks. The irregular configuration of lots 18A and 18B is based on the location of soils suitable for subsurface sewage disposal. Access to lot 18C is restricted to Hope Valley Drive. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for the division of lot 18R New Hope Springs subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. (A copy an attachment to these minutes on pages ) There was discussion about the irregular shaped lots and concern was expressed that problems could occur in the future. Willis responded that the only alternative to the odd shaped lots would be a septic easement. An easement requires a separate document to be drawn up and recorded. Reid noted that he had seen other cases in surrounding counties of such odd shaped lots due to septic easements and indicated he felt Orange County would be having more subdivisions with such lots. Willis noted that another issue is the extent to which septic easements can be used. She indicated that was an issue to be discussed later in the meeting. MOTION: Reid moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Hoecke.
