« 0 G] If 6 e. Elm Grove - Preliminary Plan Presentation by Jane Garrett. The property in question is located in Chapel Hill Township on the north side of New Hope Church Road (SR 1723) . There are five (5) lots proposed out of 10.53 acres, the average lot size is 2.0 acres.

(Orange County Subdivision Regulations permit alignments between 60 and 90 degrees) . 2) Right-of-way should be provided between lots 3 and 4 to provide access to 85-acre tract to the north. (Extension of the right-of-way would not preserve the nature of development and would reduce the maximum potential of lots to be developed given the two-acre minimum lot size requirement. The adjacent 46-acre tract is better suited for integrated road network. ) The Planning Staff recommends approval contingent upon the following conditions: 1) Provide a notation on the plat restricting access to private road for Lots 1 and 5; 2) Indicate the property owner at the western boundary line; 3) Payment in lieu of dedication ($693) to Orange County. Requirement is based on 1/35th of an acre per dwelling unit or lot.
