Second: Craufurd Goodwin as VOTE: Unanimous AGENDA ITEM #10: SUBDIVISION OF LOT A-9-C UNION GROVE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - CONCEPT PLAN (VOTING ITEM) Presenter: Jennifer Leaf, Planner I Planning Board will consider recommendations on the Concept Plan for Lot A-9-C Union Grove United Methodist Church. Jennifer Leaf made a correction to the agenda. The lot is A-9-C and not A-9-6. This property is on Union Grove Church Road, just south of the intersection with Arthur Minnis Road, and is roughly across the street from the church. This is a concept plan for a major subdivision. It is a 20-acre tract of land. The proposal is for it to be divided into five lots. The reason that this is a major subdivision is because the applicant is proposing a public roadway. Steve Yuhasz is acting as the surveyor. The five lots are each two acres, which is consistent with the rural buffer requirements in zoning. This subdivision has 42.38% open space, which goes along with the flexible development conservation cluster option being utilized in this subdivision. There was a public information meeting held on November 215`, and five residents attended. The comments are at the back of the agenda packet. There are two streams running through the property. The joint planning agreement in place with Carrboro and Chapel Hill calls for a greenway system along the major creeks within the joint planning area. This has been sent to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee for review and recommendation. It is possible that the County will request a dedication to the County of some of the open space for a future greenway system. The homeowner's association will maintain all of the open space and will maintain any signage proposed with the project. Water and sewer will be individual well and septic systems. Staff has received a comment by ERCD, who reviewed this and suggested dedicating some property for the greenway. Renee Price-Saunders made reference to page 41 and asked for clarification on the bottom, where it says, "which is for less than 21 lots follows the normal subdivision process." Jennifer Leaf said that if there are more than 21 lots, it would have to go through the SUP, Class A, public hearing process. Brian Dobyns made reference to the new public roadway and if there was an intention that it would connect with any future subdivision. Jennifer Leaf said that this (future connectivity) is the intention, even though the owners of the farm have no intentions to sell the land and subdivide. Brian Dobyns said that a number of times when this has been the case, there has been landowner concern about this occurring. He asked if there was anything in the deeds to the landowners that says that this is the intention. It was answered that it is stated on the final plat and a sign could be placed at the end of the stub our in question. Brian Dobyns made reference to page 48 at the bottom and a comment made at the neighborhood information meeting, as follows: "A concern was expressed that the people moving into the new homes may be critical of their neighboring landowners." He asked for an explanation of this. Jennifer Leaf said 10
