These will be' extended in accordance with.the ToWn- of Hills-. borough policies and specifications.' • The 8" water line at the intersection of Cheshire Drive and Oakdale Drive will be extended down to Kelley Road to connect with the existing 8" line- in Lafayette Drive. This will serve as a "loop feed" into' the subdivision which will improve water service considerably. As. a part of these improve- ments, the Town of Hillsborough is in the process of installing water lift stations to boost. water pressure. Sewer to the project will be provided by the ektension of the 8" sewer line near the.intersection of Cheshire Drive and Oakdale Drive down Kelley Road. The 13.08' acres on Kelley Road can be served by gravity flow to- ward Cheshire Drive. • It is necessary, as a part of the sewer scheme, to relocate the present pump station from Phase One of Cornwallis Hills to the southeastern corner • of the parcel requested for rezoning. This is necessary because the remainder of the undeveloped land cannot be served by gravity flow. The existing 3 inch force main will be extended down to the pump station. From this pump station, all waste water will be pumped to the existing manhole in Cheshire. Drive. The extension of these water and sewer lines.will not only serve this develop- ment, but will also provide service to portions, of abutting property on the north, west, and south sides of this development. ZONING 111 The site.is. now zoned R-1 (Rural Residential District). The purpose of this zone is to provide locations for rural, very low density residential development in areas where long-term solutions to water supply and sewage disposal is provided by individual wells and septic systems.. Under current zoning, a minimal amount of planning is necessary to subdivide the property • into one-acre tracts., place individual wells and septic systems on the lot, and provide above-ground telephone and electric service to the lots. The proposed R-3 (Low and Medium Intensity Residential District) will pro- vide a logical, cohesive expansion of the existing subdivision. . Public water and sewer lines will be extended, public streets will be constructed, open space centrally located to the subdivision will be provided, existing streams and floodplains will be buffered, landscape easements are provided along existing roadways, and all other public utilities will be underground. Surrounding residential zoning within a quarter-mile radius' ranges from a density of R-5 (High Intensity Residential District) to R-1 (Rural Residential District). RECREATION SPACE • Passive recreation space is provided for the neighborhood on approximately 3 acres of land centrally located within the site. A 10-foot pedestrian easement will be provided from this area to the creek traversing 410 -4- •
