2066 e) the subdivision roads, even if constructed to State Standards, would not be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or some other State requirements that the subdivision cannot meet. EVALUATION In applying these conditions to the preliminary plan for Sykes Glen, the Planning Department notes the following : 1 . The proposed subdivision is located in a rural area of the Cane Creek Watershed in which unpaved roads are compatible and impervious surfaces are limited. Some of the existing topography is at a gradient of 15%. However, the proposed road could be con- structed at a 10% slope within the 50 ' right of way shown. 2. a) The subdivision consists of less than ten ( 10 ) lots. The nine lots proposed will be covered by restrictive covenants to prohibit further subdivision of those lots. b ) The subdivision will preserve a natural area. The property is located in the Cane Creek Protected Watershed area, which limits the amount of impervious surface allowed. If Sykes Glen Trail were paved, it would create 0.66 acre (28, 800 sq. ft. ) of impervious surface. A portion of each lot will remain undisturbed in its natural state as required by Article 6.23. 8 of the Zoning Ordinance. c) The subdivision does not include or abut any part of a thoroughfare or street shown on the Orange County thoroughfare plan or on the thoroughfare plan of an Orange County munici- pality. It does not lie within a designated transition area determined by the County. d) The subdivision does not Join or extend an existing subdivision where the road is private or unpaved. e) If constructed to State standards, Sykes Glen Trail may be accepted by the State for main- tenance since it could meet the density requirement of 2 houses per 0. 1 mile. However, DOT has commented that the sight distance at SR 1117 is minimal even with realignment and clearing of vegetation .
