To receive, the Planning Board recommendation of June 7, 1985. NEED: James L. Freeland has requested a rezoning for 1.5 acres of land located along Faucette Mill Road (SR 1328) north of Hillsborough. The purpose of the request is to permit higher density residential development than is presently allowed. The property in question is Lot 25 Block A of Orange County Tax Map 5, Hillsborough Township. The present zoning classification is (A-R) Agricultural-Residential, while the requested designation is R-4, 4 residential units/acre. The Land Use Plan for this property was amended on January 7, 1985. The designation was changed from Agricultural Residential to Ten Year Transition. IMPACT: Approval of the request would allow a density of 10,000 sq. ft. per dwelling unit instead of the 40,000 sq. ft. that is presently allowed. A 1984 traffic count on Faucette Mill Road indicated a traffic count of 500 trips per day. If this 1.5 acres is developed at an R-4, density an additional 40 trips per day would be added to the road. DOT has indicated that driveway access should be determined in compliance with sight distance requirements. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Board recommends denial on the basis that the criteria for rezoning have not been satisfied.
