The <br /> property is located west of the present Wildwood Sub- <br /> division off NC 86 in Hillsborough Township. <br /> The property is designated Ten Year Transition in the Land <br /> Use Plan. The present zoning of the property is <br /> Residential -2 (R-2 ) . The applicant is requesting that the <br /> zoning classification be changed to Residential -4 (R-4) . <br /> A similar request (R-1 to R-4) was made by the applicant in <br /> November, 1985 . In response to a Town of Hillsborough <br /> recommendation (either R-2 or R-3 ) , topographic constraints <br /> and traffic concerns, the Board of Commissioners approved <br /> changing the zoning designation from R-1 to R-2. <br /> Development of the tract will have impacts on water and <br /> sewer facilities, and the ability of streets to handle <br /> projected traffic volumes. These impacts as well as others <br /> were identified and discussed in a Planning Staff report <br /> presented on June 1 , 1987. <br /> At its June 8, 1987 meeting, the Hillsborough Town Board <br /> considered the Wildwood rezoning request and recommended <br /> approval of an R-3 zoning classification with the under- <br /> standing that a cluster development approach would be used <br /> to compensate for terrain problems; i .e. , steep slopes. <br /> NCDOT traffic accident data indicates that 18 accidents <br /> occurred between January 1 , 1984 and March 31 , 1987 on NC <br /> Highway 86 between SR 1710 (Old NC 10 ) and a point one mile <br /> south of SR 1710 .
