DRAFT <br /> 40 29. <br /> covenants would be recorded that would allow <br /> for very low-key development and the ten-acre <br /> tracts would remain as ten-acre tracts. <br /> Callemyn explained that to provide for a state <br /> road would require extensive cutting back of <br /> trees for a sixty foot right-of-way plus more <br /> for a power easement which must run on the <br /> edge of the right-of-way. With a private <br /> road, the power lines would run along the <br /> shoulder of the road . <br /> Yuhasz stated that he felt that no good <br /> purpose would be served by requiring a public <br /> road. <br /> Best stated that he felt good cause was not <br /> shown for a private road and indicated that <br /> eventually owners would want the road paved. <br /> Pilkey asked how far this subdivision is from <br /> Carrboro' s Jurisdiction . Crudup responded <br /> that it is in the Rural Buffer and did require <br /> courtesy review from Carrboro. <br /> Eddleman indicated he felt the minimum lot <br /> size was inconsistent with the surrounding <br /> area since that immediately surrounding this <br /> subdivision is all ten-acre tracts . <br /> Yuhasz indicated that he felt another private <br /> road was suitable as the majority of the other <br /> roads in the area were private roads . <br /> Best noted again that a public road was the <br /> standard and a private road is the exception <br /> and that he felt this subdivision did not show <br /> good cause for a private road . <br /> VOTE: 8 in favor. <br /> 3 opposed (Yuhasz, Lewis, Swann - all felt a <br /> private road was suitable for this <br /> subdivision ) . <br /> 2. Woodstone Subdivision <br /> (Withdrawn from the agenda at the request <br /> of the applicant) . <br /> 3 . Rams Woods Cluster Subdivision <br /> (7 Lots - Chapel Hill Township ) <br /> Presentation by Emily Crudup. <br /> The proposed location of Ram' s Woods is <br /> 15 acres at the end of Crossroads Church <br /> Cemetery Road ( SR 1131 ) in the extreme <br /> northwest corner of Chapel Hill <br />
