07C <br /> 2 <br /> The applicant is requesting a Class A road to serve <br /> the six lots. <br /> The addition of 6 lots to this area could add <br /> approximately 40 trips per day to Davis Road. There <br /> is no traffic count data available on Davis Road. <br /> However, the addition of this subdivision would have <br /> a minimal impact. <br /> In addition to the 6 lots proposed, 4 other tracts <br /> are served by this road. Based on this information, <br /> the planning staff recommends that the road be public ' <br /> and constructed to N.C. Department of Transportation <br /> standards from Davis Road to the cul-de-sac. <br /> Kizer inquired about suitability of the lots for <br /> septic tanks. Smith responded that preliminary <br /> Health Department approval was given on May 1, 1985 <br /> by Ron Hoidway. <br /> Yuhasz inquired about the requirement for a paved <br /> road. Smith explained that the position of the County <br /> was based on weighing the number of lots in the <br /> subdivision versus the number of lots served. Even <br /> though the number of lots in the subdivision <br /> satisfies one of the criteria for allowing a private <br /> road in that the subdivision is composed of less than <br /> 10 lots, there are more than 10 lots served by the <br /> road. Therefore, it is staff's position that a <br /> public road should be required. <br /> Yuhasz further inquired why staff did not recommend <br /> paving the rest of Scott Road. Smith responded that <br /> staff applied the requirement to where the <br /> subdivision itself, calling for the paving of the <br /> portion of Scott Road which led to the cul-de-sac and <br /> the cul-de-sac itself. <br /> Louis Callemyn, representing client, addressed the <br /> question of the number of lots served. Be noted that <br /> staff came up with 10 lots by counting what they <br /> considered to be tax lots served by the road. <br /> Callemyn, indicated that after having looked at <br /> recorded deeds and easements, he concluded that there <br /> are only 3 additional lots beyond the subdivision <br /> served by this road. <br /> Smith responded that staff counted 4 lots to be <br /> served by the road: lots 3, 12A, 12, and 2. Lot #3 <br /> is landlocked. Callemyn noted that the road did not <br /> touch Lot #3, He stated there was nothing his client <br /> could do about Lot #3 being landlocked. <br />
