3 , year it is estimated that 519,000 GPD additional water will be used by these projects. This would increase the usage to 64% which represents an increase of 17% above what it is now. The Scotswood development and Wildwood Section Iv' would take another estimated 283,000 GPO which represents 74% of the water treatment plant's capacity. Scotswood would use 247,000 GPD. In terms of the sewer treatment plant, the increase in usage would increase from 66% to 81%. • Commissioner Marshall asked what impact could be expected with the additional 325,000 GPD promised for the Efland sewer and Collins indicated the 325.000 GPD would absorb from 15 to 17% of the capacity putting it near capacity for the sewer treatment plant and at 90% capacity for water treatment. 12/_ raffic Impacts - the traffic count for St. Mary's Road for 1981 indicated 2000 vehicle trips per day. Highway 70 Bypass east of NC 86 has 7.800 vehidle trips a day and about 8.800 trips a day just east of Lawrence Road and Highway 70. According to the traffic impact analysis prepared by the applicant's engineer, Scotswood would generate 5,700 trips to the site and an equal amount from the site on an average day. It would add 1,725 daily trips east of the project on St. Mary's Road and 3.450 trips west of the project on St. Mary's Road. An additional 4,025 would be added to US 70 Bypass east and 2.300 trips to US 70 west of the project. (3) Recreation Facilities - the applicant has proposed a swimming pool, two tennis lanurts, and a recreation building to serve the multifamily dwellings and proposed a total of 16.2 acres for this purpose. In the single family development there will be approximately six acres designated as a recreation area. The remaining ten acres would be designated along the creek which runs through the property and has been initially designated for passive • recreation. This creek is included in the floodplain which runs along the creek. (4) School Facilities - The number of estimated school- age children for the Single family developmnt would be 294 school-age children. For the multi-family development it is estimated that 42 school-age children would be added bringing the total for the project to 336. The students in grades K-5 would attend Cameron Park School, the children in grades 6-7 would attend A. L. Stanback, the children in grades 8-9 would attend Stanford Jr. High and the children in grades 10-12 would attend Orange High School. The Orange County Boa'rd of Education has indicated that all schools except Orange High are operating at capacity. (5) Police, Fire and Rescue Services - The Orange Rural Fire Department has indicated they can provide fire protection with proper sized water lines and Eire hydrants at proper intervals. The Sheriff's office has indicated they will require three additional personnel and two additional vehicles to provide adequate protection. The Orange County Rescue Squad can presently provide service for this development. The Town of Hillsborough, in a letter dated November 12, 1985 to the Board of Comissioners, expressed a concern about the traffic safety and congestion along Bighway 70 especially in the Cameron Park School area and in downtown Hillsborough and recommended as a requirement for approval of the project substantial improvements to Highway 70 and St. Mary's Road. Other conditions of approval include: (1) provide curb and gutter along all streets, (2) provide sidewalks along both sides of the streets within the residential areas, (3) construct the lift station at the southeast section of the project of sufficient size to accommodate any future connections by property owners along St. Mary's Road, (4) install sewer lines more than 100 feet from Nancy Hill creek. The Preliminary utilities plan indicates that sewer lines are to • be installed at least 50-80 feet from the creek. Members also asked that the lines be placed on a 6" sand base with additional protective measures to help prevent any leakage, (5) install mercury lights throughout the project area as the project develops for additional security, (6) provide more recreation space than the roposed 6.0 acres at the north end of the single family
