The property is <br /> zoned Residential -1 and designated as Rural Residential on <br /> the Land Use Plan. <br /> Seven lots are proposed surrounded by 6 .94 acres of common <br /> open space. The average lot size is 0 .91 acre. The appli - <br /> cant has proposed that the lots will be served by a Class A <br /> private road . Six lots will use common nitrification fields <br /> located in the shared open space for septic tank disposal . <br /> Lot #7 will include an individual drain field . <br /> All agencies have reviewed Ram' s Woods. NCDOT has commented <br /> that Ram' s Way may be approved as a private road. It should <br /> not be considered an extension of SR 1131 because the hori - <br /> zontal alignment of the two roads does not produce a smooth <br /> transition curve. <br />
