Exasp les: paved streets or roads, <br /> large E.ul:divisions, shopping centers, apaLt ent, <br /> condominiul:i or office complexes. All disturbances <br /> are considered to be Urban Development unless the <br /> proposal clearly meets the criteria for Rural <br /> Development. <br /> Reviewing Erosion Control Plans for these develop- <br /> ments involves considerable time in reviewing and <br /> commenting on the proposed site design Cfor which <br /> there is no fee charged) , reviewing the proposed - <br /> erosion control Plan, visiting the site during the <br /> review process (often more than once), corresponding <br /> with the developers representative to have revisions <br /> made to the plans, working with the architect or <br /> engineer to devise an acceptable plan, and meeting <br /> with the contractor at the site prior to .the start of <br /> construction to discuss the Plan. All of these steps <br /> involves time and travel which should be considered. <br /> in the Plan Review Fee. <br /> Just as the review of urban development plans is time <br /> consuming, the inspection of these sites is involved <br /> 1[- <br /> and time consuming. The intense development of these <br /> sites complicates erosion control and requires more <br /> frequent inspections along with contacting the owner <br /> or his representative when problems occur on the <br /> site. <br /> RURAL DE ELO?_:ENT <br /> Rural development would be defined as construction <br /> taking place outside of the jurisdictional boundries <br /> of the major :•unicipalities (Cha ?el Hill, Carrboro, <br /> Hillsborough) ; located in a rural area; sites that <br /> are not developed from property line to property <br /> Clclari nL. e::rens'S,e sra:3ing or ..h.—.;;e rr+ <br /> existing topography; does not involve a star rain. <br /> system more complicated than simple culverts. Ex- <br /> amples: private roads, storage yards, golf courses, <br /> other construction that may involve a single struc- <br /> ture located in the central portion of a lot <br /> involving less than 50 % of the total area and <br /> developoment located no closer than Sri feet to <br /> property liner; or drainageways. <br /> Reviewing Erosion Control Plans for construction in <br /> rural areas involves considerably less time than. <br /> those in urban areas . The projects, as described <br /> above, are much simpler and, therefore, the review <br />
