AND RUBY <br /> BLACKWOOD REZONING REQUEST <br /> WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES <br /> The lot would be served by an individual well. <br /> The tract will also be served by an on-site septic system. A <br /> letter has been received concerning the appropriateness of <br /> the soil for a septic system. <br /> ROADS/TRAFFIC <br /> The property is located on NC 54. It has approximately 473 <br /> feet of road frontage on NC 54. (SEE VICINITY MAP) <br /> The latest traffic count information is a 1984 NCDOT traffic <br /> count. This information indicated a count of 6000 trips per <br /> day on NC 54 at Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) . Trip generation <br /> studies indicate that a hardware/paint store produces 53.1 <br /> trip ends per day per 1000 square feet. For a freestanding <br /> retail store. trip generation is 36 trip ends per day per <br /> 1000 square feet. Applied to a 9600 square foot building <br /> would result in 490 and 346 trips per day, respectively. <br /> The Local Commercial-1 zone permits low traffic generation <br /> which the Zoning Ordinance defines as an average of less than <br /> 200 vehicle trips per day. Based on the traffic generation <br /> figures above. an NC-2 Neighborhood Commercial district would <br /> be more appropriate. The district permits medium traffic <br /> generation - 200 to 800 trips per day. <br /> T <br />
