RECEIVED 27278 MAR 1 3 1987 `,,..N pr TOWN OF CARRSORO ZONING DIVISION• = '�� =gtaJ Air 7.17 u , 4...,,„ ...0,_ March 12, 1987 Ms. Amy Parker Development Coordinator Town of Carrboro 301 West Main Street Carrboro, NC 27510 Dear Ms. Parker: Thank you for allowing the Orange County Planning Staff to review the Amberly subdivision proposal . I want to preface our comments by noting that it is the policy of the Orange County Board of Commissioners that public water and sewer not be extended into protected watersheds and the area designated as Rural Buffer. The portion of the project site outside of the Carrboro ETJ is in the University Lake protected watershed and is part of the Rural Buffer. The proposed provision of public water and sewer to this site is inconsistent with this policy . It is for this reason that the Orange County Planning Staff recommends against approval of the project. .,Specific comments regarding the project include the following: 1 . It is difficult to be certain of the size of the project. The impervious surface calculation on page 6 is based on 215 acres. The acreage described in the lot layout calculation on page 1 totals 235.53 acres. We cannot tell if the 17 .85 acre Future Development Conservation District shown on page 9 is included in the project acreage. We cannot tell if the Future Development Conservation District should be included in the project acreage. 2. We cannot determine the relationship of the Future Development Conservation District to the proposed development. 3. The number of units referred to in the lot layout calculation on page 1 totals 187 units. We presume that this is the maximum number of units permitted by Carrboro' s Development Ordinance and that the developer proposes only 157 units.
