091 <br /> The Board of Commissioners referred the <br /> subdivision back to the Planning Board for <br /> consideration of additional information. <br /> The property is located in Cedar Grove Township <br /> on Carr Store Road ( SR 1352) . The total <br /> acreage of the tract is 136 . 25 acres, with 13 <br /> acres proposed for division. The developer is <br /> proposing thirteen ( 13 ) lots with all lots <br /> being one ( 1 ) acre in size. Each lot is to <br /> have frontage on Carr Store Road, and joint <br /> driveways were initially proposed for lots 2 <br /> through 13. The property is not zoned and is <br /> designated Agricul tural Residential and Water <br /> Supply Watershed in the Land Use Plan. <br /> Initially, the County Attorney suggested that <br /> Staff consider a marginal access street to <br /> serve the lots. Due to the minimum amount of <br /> traffic on Carr Store Road ( 1985 traffic count <br /> of 700) and the fact that the developer is <br /> proposing joint driveways, the Planning Staff <br /> did not feel that a marginal access street was <br /> needed. The Staff did have a concern about the <br /> proximity of a 60-foot proposed road to NC 86. <br /> NCDOT inspected the site and commented that the <br /> proposed road should be moved further away from <br /> NC 86 and placed between lots 3 and 4. <br /> The preliminary plan was approved by the <br /> Planning Board on December 21 , 1987 with the <br /> condition that a proposed 60-foot access road <br /> be relocated and placed between lots 3 and 4. <br /> The Planning Staff received a letter from NCDOT <br /> on January 4, 1988 indicating the road could be <br /> placed between lots 2 and 3. At its January 4, <br /> 1988 meeting, the Board of Commissioners <br /> referred the subdivision back to the Planning <br /> Board for further review. <br /> When contacted on the telephone, Mr. Mike Mills <br /> with NCDOT indicated that an access road <br /> extended between lots 3 and 4 would be in <br /> conflict with an existing pond. if the access <br /> road was moved to the east between lots 2 and <br /> 3, the road could be extended without <br /> complication. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval subject <br /> to the following conditions: <br /> 1 . That the proposed 60-foot access road be <br /> relocated and placed between lots 2 and 3; <br /> and <br /> 2. That common driveways be provided for lots <br /> 1 -12. <br /> Best asked why the access road was between lots <br />
