EVALUATION In applying these conditions to the Lloyd Subdivision, the Planning Department notes the following: 1 . The proposed subdivision is located in the western portion of the University Lake watershed. The subdivision recognizes this in several design features : large lots (at least 5 acres in size) and a road that minimizes stream and drainage way crossings. The road is designed so as to limit its extension to adjoining properties. This is felt to be desirable since such extension would increase the number of stream crossings. There are no developments on adjoining property that contain roads which should be connected with the road proposed for this subdivision. 2. a) The subdivision consists of nine (9) lots less than ten ( 10 ) acres in size. Three (3) tracts over ten ( 10 ) acres in size are not considered to be subdivision lots by State law and County regulation. b) The subdivision does not preserve a natural area. The proposed road does minimize cross- ing streams and drainage ways. c) The subdivision does not include or abut any street shown on any thoroughfare plan adopted in Orange County and it is not in a transition area indicated in any Orange County Land Use Plan . d) The subdivision does not join or extend an existing subdivision. e) Even if the road were constructed to NCDOT standards, the State would not accept the road for maintenance. The proposed density (0 .56 houses per 528 feet of road) do not meet the State density minimum (2 houses per 528 feet of road) .
