4 5. The flood plain and the 65-foot stream buffers associated with the streams must be shown on the Preliminary Plan. 6. Show location of subdivision sign on Preliminary Plan and reserve an easement for the sign. 7. Any lighting shall meet Orange County Lighting Standards. • Third Action: Preliminary Plan Approved on July 11, 2007 by the Planning Board with the recommendation that the road not be stubbed to the eastern property line. Vote 8 to 1. COMMENTS FROM THE JULY 11, 2007 PLANNING BOARD MEETING 1. The Planning Board discussed RPAC's recommendation that an acre be dedicated to the County and considered that against the proposed .59-acre dedication. While the .59-acre dedication proposed by the developer meets the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Board voted to accept the RPAC and ERCD recommendations. 2. The Planning Board then discussed the applicant's proposal for reservation of land for a future road stub to the eastern property line. The plan shows a 50-foot wide section of land extending to the eastern property line, but it would remain under HOA ownership until such time as the land would be needed for the road's extension. The developer's representative, Steve Yuhasz, stated as found on page 25 from the Planning Board minutes, "Our original proposal was to have the road to the adjoining property. In meetings with the property owner, they asked that we not do that. They have no plan to develop it. If there were a road to their property there would be more pressure to develop it. I would prefer to see a reservation versus an actual dedication and keep the 50 foot strip, as part of the Homeowners Association." The County asks that the stub be dedicated to the County for ease of future connection. Ownership of the stub by the HOA could cause complications in the future. The Planning Board, after considering the applicant's proposal and the County's request, approved the subdivision without any road stub. • Fourth Action: The County Board of Commissioners considers approval of the preliminary plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Impact Analysis is not prepared for a subdivision with less than 10 lots. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends Approval of the Preliminary Plan in accordance with the attached Resolution of Approval with the stipulations: • The applicant offers to dedicate .89 acres as shown on the attached map (Page 36). If the applicant chooses not to dedicate the suggested .89 acres, then the Administration recommends that the BOCC refer the subdivision back to the Planning Board for further discussion. • That the 50-foot width road stub be dedicated to the County via fee-simple with a deed (B.8 on the Resolution).
