Please refer to Attachment 1 for a vicinity map of the project. <br /> The Planning Board approved a Concept Plan for Beaver Valley on June 17, 1996 for project <br /> totaling approximately 101.76 acres with 75 individual lots and 20.36 acres of open space <br /> centered in and on a stream running through the project. <br /> On June 30, 1997 the BOCC approved the first phase of the project allowing for the <br /> development of 40 lots and required local roadways constructed to applicable NC Department of <br /> Transportation public road standards east of the aforementioned stream. As approved, Beaver <br /> Valley Drive would eventually be extended, crossing the stream, allowing for the development of <br /> the additional 35 parcels. <br /> Agenda materials from this meeting can be viewed <br /> at: http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/weblink8/DocView.aspx?id=29619&searchid=afaa7f0b <br /> 76f4-4d 11-a206-c11551904126&dbid=0. Minutes from the meeting can be viewed <br /> at: http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/weblink8/0/doc/2194/Pagel.aspx. <br /> Attachment 2 contains the resolution of approval for the first phase of the project. Attachment 3 <br /> contains the various subdivision plats recorded for the project over the last 19 years allowing for <br /> the development of Phase 1. <br /> In 2007 the County's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) were amended. As a result of these <br /> amendments, the stream running through the project was identified as being encumbered by <br /> floodplain imposing additional development constraints and buffers.
