Ms. Amy Parker <br /> . March 12, 1987 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 15. subdivision requirements for a <br /> i'r cluster development would permit a maximum of 106 <br /> units, assuming total acreage is 215 acres. The <br /> proposal contains 157 units. <br /> 16 . Orange County ' s Rural Buffer zoning district, which <br /> has been placed on the portion of the project site <br /> outside Carrboro ETJ , would permit a minimum lot <br /> size of 43, 560 square.--.feet in `e cluster <br /> development. Only 9 lots meet that minimum area <br /> requirement. <br /> 17. Lot 56 does not meet Orange County frontage require- <br /> ments. <br /> 18. Orange County' s Protected Watershed overlay zone, <br /> 4:- which has been placed on the portion of the project <br /> site outside Carrboro ETJ , requires a buffer of <br /> between 50 and 150 feet ( depending on average rise <br /> in elevation) along perennial streams such as <br /> Morgan Creek . ` This buffer fs_ measured from the <br /> outer edge _ of thefiood plain, not the centerline <br /> of the stream as shown on page 8 . <br /> 19. Orange County Subdivision Regulations would require <br /> a Class E buffer (75 feet wide) along Fayetteville <br /> Road and a Class A buffer (20 feet wide) behind <br /> lots 86, 87, 92, 93, 94, and 96-104 where they abut <br /> the project boundary . <br /> L20. The Orange County subdivision regulations would <br /> require the dedication of 1 /20th of an acre for <br /> each dwelling unit proposed ( 157 ) or 7 . 85 acres for <br /> recreation/open space purpose. Inasmuch as the <br /> Joint Planning Area (JPA) Land Use Plan designates <br /> a greenway along Morgan Creek and Laurel Springs <br /> Subdivision (to the north ) has been approved with a <br /> greenway, Orange County recommends the provision <br /> and dedication to Orange County of at least a 132 <br /> foot wide greenway along Morgan Creek. (7 .85 acres <br /> divided by 2,580 feet of frontage on Morgan <br /> Creek . ) The applicant has shown a 100-foot <br /> greenway dedication. <br /> Though not required by the JPA Land Use Plan, the <br /> Orange County _ _ P_I ann 1 nnc Staff recommends the <br /> * redesign of the subdivision to rovide a reenwa <br /> linking Carrboro' s park with the proposedg`Morgan <br /> e <br /> Crek greenway. <br />
