Commercial Transition/Industrial Transition Activity Nodes Location: U. S. Highway 70 and Buckhorn Road (SR 1114) (CK-3) 049. (_ Cearn. Analysis add 'valuation: This node is located at the intersection of an arterial and a collector. Existing commercial uses at or near this site include a small mill outlet and two gas stations , one of which is also a small store. There are no environmental constraints imposed by sensitive lands or Orange County water-supply watersheds. A rail line is nearby. This site is presently served by a central water system with sewer line extension a possibility for the future. These facts combined with its proximity to Mebane create the potential for fairly intensive commercial and industrial uses during 1990-2000 phase of the Plan. In fact, this node falls within the 20-Year Transition Area that extends slightly beyond the Towns Urban classifi- cation area. As this site becomes more intensively developed, care should be taken to ensure that the highway intersection is upgraded sufficiently to handle the increased load. Location: Interstate 85 and Buckhorn Road (SR 1114) (CK-4) - <91 Analysis andoEtfaluatlon: This node is located at the intersection of Interstate 85 and a collector. Existing land uses include a small residential community (Miles) , a gas station, and a small vacant store. The General Electric plant is located on I-85 a short distance west of this node. This site is currently served by a central watersupply system. The GE plant is served by sewer lines from Mebane. This node falls within the designated 20-Year Transition Area outside of the Mebane Urban Area. Therefore its development potential is long-term. When additional commercial or industrial uses are located here, attention should be given to minimizing any negative efforts on the residential area nearby.
