007 <br /> MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 1981 AND 1987 LITTLE RIVER <br /> TOWNSHIP PLANS <br /> Circulation : The 1981 plan simply describes the circulation <br /> system. The 1987 plan places greater emphasis on <br /> the circulation patterns and traffic flows on <br /> arterial highways. <br /> Environmental Constraints: Adds water supply watersheds, <br /> recognizing that Little River <br /> Township is in the basins that <br /> supply Durham, and potentially <br /> Hillsborough and Chapel Hill , with <br /> water. <br /> Cultural and Natural Resources: Added to 1987 plan. <br /> Existing Land Use: Added to 1987 plan . <br /> Development Trends : Added to 1987 plan. Focuses on building <br /> and subdivision activity and the <br /> potential impact of Treyburn. <br /> Organizing Concepts: Adds "Existing drinking water supply <br /> watersheds in the township should be <br /> developed in a way that will minimize <br /> impacts on water quality and not <br /> . conflict with agricultural uses." <br /> Projections: Population projections are scaled down in the <br /> 1987 plan . New households, however, are <br /> increased based on a smaller average household <br /> size. Acreage requirements are scaled back based <br /> on smaller lot sizes. <br /> Distribution : Two new categories are used in the 1987 plan ; <br /> Resource Conservation Areas and Agricultural <br /> Protection Areas. Additionally, the activity <br /> node at Harris Crossroads ( LR-5) has been <br /> removed from the plan. <br />
