,411, 3 035 in the proposed subdivision. We recommend that non-access easements be recorded for these lots, so that access is limited to internal streets only. Resource Conservation District: Maps indicate that there may be a peren- nial stream in the southern portion of the proposed subdivision. If the presence of a• stream is confirmed, it appears that the Resource Conservation District would overlay parts of Lots 12, 13, 14, 40, 41 , 42, and 43. We recommend that, if this. preliminary plat is approved, the applicant show the- boundaries of the Resource Conservation District on the final plat; and that- the lot lines or the final plat be adjusted to show buildable- area on all lots outside of the Resource. Conservation District, and access- to all lots without crossing the Resource Conservation District. We also recommend that a note be added to the plat explaining that development. within the Resource Conservation District is strictly limited by the Town of Chepel Open Space: Combining Orange County Open Space Requirements (applied to that. portion of the subdivision in Orange County's jurisdiction) and Chapel 'Hill's requirements (applied to the Chapel Hill portion) , a total of 3.21 acres of open space. is required. The preliminary plan shows 2.3 acres.. We recommend that a condition of approval be the adding of .91 acres- of open space to the subdivision, or allowing a payment in lieu of reservation. Drainage: The preliminary plan shows drainage easements along critical drainageways. In the southern portion of the' subdivision, such easements are shown on the east side of Sweeten Creek Road, but not on the west side. We recommend that a conditon of approval be recording of these additional easements on a. final plat, and that a stormwater management plan be approved prior to issuance of a zoning compliance permit. Access and Circulation: As per our Thoroughfare Plan, we recommend that the applicant widen Sunrise Drive and Weaver Dairy Road along the site's frontage, to half of the ultimate cross-section. Internal circulation is collected by Sweeten Creek Road and distributed to Weaver Dairy Road • and Sunrise Drive. As no access is provided to the large tract to the east, we recommend that at least one "stub-out" street be provided and that a sidewalk be provided on one side of all "stub-out" streets. The Chapel Hill Thoroughfare Plan calls for extension of Weaver Dairy Road to U.S. 15-501 . The proposed new alignment of Weaver Dairy Road would begin at the point of this subdivision's frontage on Weaver Dairy Road. The location of proposed Sweeten Creek Road takes this new align- ment into account. A 15' right-of-way needed for the new alignment is proposed to be dedicated. With respect to external circulation, according to the applicant's Trans- portation irrpact Report (attached) , the traffic volume projected to be generated by the development is 1,330 vehicles per day (133 lots, 10 trips per day) . The 1984 vehicle counts mark the Average Daily iraffic on Weaver Dairy Road at 4,187 vehicles. Weaver Dairy Road's capacity is 10,000 ADT. • - — • ----- • • • • — 11E9Mlantallr
