-5- 1• Public Hearing on Planned Development Rezoning Request - Eubanks 2 Road Townhouses (PD-1-86) 3 4 Citizens wishing to speak at the hearing were sworn in by the 5 Orange County Chair of the Board of Commissioners. 6 7 Marvin Collins, Orange County Planning Director, asked that 8 agenda item #3, Action Agenda Item Abstract, dated October 13, 9 1986, PD-1-86 Eubanks Road Townhouses be entered into the record 10 of the meeting. 11 12 Mr. Collins made a presentation on the project saying this 13 hearing was the third public hearing on the proposed Eubanks Road 14 Townhouse project. He said the proposal was for 137 townhouse 15 units, grouped in clusters, on a 19 .2 acre site on the north side 16 of Eubanks Road, 1700 feet west of the intersection of 17 Interstate-40 and N.C. 86. There is a requirement of a 100 ' 18 buffer surrounding the site except for the side adjacent to the 19 industrial development which requires a 50 ' buffer. Sewer 20 service, according to Mr. Collins, would be provided by construc- 21 tion and installation of a pump station to serve the entire 22 drainage basin. 23 24 Mr. Collins stated that the current recreation standards (Article 25 5. 1. 1) require a minimum recreation space ratio of . 299. There- 26 fore the applicant needed to provide a minimum recreation space �7 of 5. 85 acres for a 19 . 2 acre site. However, section IV-B-7-b-2 28W also requires that 1/35th of an acre of land be dedicated for �9 each dwelling unit proposed. This results in an acreage require- 30 ment of 4.11 acres of public recreation area. If the figure 31 derived by application of Article 5. 1 . 1 is greater, the differ- 32 ence (1.74 acres) must be developed for private recreation 33 purposes. The internal recreation space provided totaled 1.08 34 acres, therefore an additional .66 acres of private recreation 35 area and a payment-in-lieu of recreation in the amount of $12, 823 36 for the 4. 11 acres of public recreation was required to meet 37 current standards. 38 39 Planning Director Collins said the project was to be developed in 40 phases with a completed project date in December, 1991. He 41 further stated that the project would have a measurable affect on 42 the traffic intersection of Eubanks Road and N.C. 86. He com- 43 mented that at present the County had not required off-site 44 traffic improvements feeling the road improvements should be 45 addressed by NCDOT, but that this was something the County needed 46 to review in light of needed road improvements to the intersec- 47 tion of N.C. 86 and Eubanks Road and the lack of State funding. 48 49 Commissioners Marshall and Carey asked about the size of the pump 50 station and who would pay for its construction. Mr. Collins 51 replied that the size of the pump station would be agreed with OWASA and that the applicant would pay for having it built. 5 54 Council Member Pasquini questioned the basis upon which the land 55 was valued for payment-in-lieu of recreation space. He felt the 56 amount was too low. Mr. Collins answered that the 1987 tax 57 appraisal was used. 58 59 6o
