025 LAUREL SPRINGS - PRELIMINARY MARCH 5, 1986 PAGE 2 At the request of the Planning Board, the applicant provided a traffic impact study (see attachment ) . Traffic counts for Dairyland Road (SR1104) taken on 2-6-86 and 2-7-86 between the hours of 7: 00 a.m. and 6 : 00 p.m. indicated 2 ,219 and 2 ,388 vehicles per day, respectively. The development will generate 760 additional trips per day, but a level of Service A (most desirable) will be maintained. All roads proposed to serve the development are to be constructed to NCDOT subdivision road standards and dedicated public. A single access road (Laurel Spring Drive) is proposed. In response to a pre-application request for comment NCDOT indicated that a single entrance and a left turn lane from the direction of Carrboro were desirable. The applicant has complied with these requests . The property is to be served by individual well and septic tanks . Larger lot sizes and stream buffers are proposed for those lots abutting Morgan Creek. Police, fire and rescue services will be provided by the Orange County Sheriff ' s Department , South Orange Volunteer Fire Department and the South Orange Rescue Squad. Staff solicited Town of Carrboro courtesy review comments . In response to recommendation #1-4, according to preliminary OWASA comments , the extension of public water and sewer is presently technically prohibitive due to the distance from and size of lines in the vicinity of the site, and package plats are not acceptable in the watershed by County policy. The Orange County Subdivision Regulations do not require recreation space and/or facilities for subdivision in R-1 districts (See Carrboro recommendation #5) . Dairyland Road (SR1104) is not classified an arterial warranting a 41 foot cross-section in either the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan or the Orange County Land Use Plan. NCDOT recommended and the applicant complied with the provision of a turning lane from the south at the entrance to the property. Staff is recommending that a pedestrian easement be shown within the buffer area as recommended by Carrboro and provision made in the maintenance agreement for dedication and acceptance by an appropriate governing body or public agency at the time the easement would become part of a public greenway system. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Board recommends approval with the following conditions : (1 ) The survey of the stream, floodplain, buffer and drainage easements and provision of stream buffer calculations and appropriate designation on the final plat is required prior to the consideration of the final plat for approval .
