112 T <br /> CUR 096 <br /> ASSOCIATES <br /> f <br /> McLennan's Farm Subdivision <br /> f Bowden Road at Old Greensboro Highway <br /> Chapel Hill Township <br /> f Orange County, North Carolina <br /> Tax Map 7.115.24 <br /> 0 <br /> General Description <br /> f <br /> McLennan's Farm is a 2-acre + lot subdivision proposed for a <br /> f 37-acre parcel of land which is part of the Aubrey McLennan Farm. <br /> The project is located in southern Orange County with access to <br /> t Bowden Road approximately one-half mile south of Old Greensboro <br /> Highway. The site is characterized by gently rolling pasture land <br /> f and wood lots. The open spaces are predominantly covered with a <br /> lush growth of common bermuda grass formerly planted for grazing. <br /> f The wooded lots are dominated by hardwoods of the oak hickory <br /> association with sizes ranging from 6 to 36 inch caliper. Fairly <br /> 4 light understory growth is the rule except in the lower areas <br /> along the two intermittent streams where growth is dense. The •two <br /> 4 streams appear as intermittent on USGS Quadrangle maps and had <br /> very low flows during inspection after a few days of rain. <br /> • <br /> The development is characterized by a main entrance road to be <br /> 1 called McLennan's Farm Road. This road will have ten lots <br /> fronting on it. A short cul-del-sac to be named George Poe Road <br /> will provide access to the remaining four lots. McLennan's Farm <br /> Road terminates in a cul-de-sac but the right-of-way continues to <br /> M the north property line. It is anticipated that the land to the <br /> north will become available for development sometime in the <br /> 0 future, at which time the road will be extended to serve the <br /> additional property and connect with Old Greensboro Highway at <br /> Neville Road (see appendix C) an entrance sign of stone and wood <br /> along with a low wood fence and plantings is proposed for the <br /> entrance at Bowden Road. The fence will terminate at a pair of <br /> low stone walls paralleling the road at the first stream crossing. <br /> Existing vegetation will be almost entirely preserved, with some <br /> minor clearing at the cul-de-sacs of the two roads. Detailed <br /> planting plans showing street yard, side and rear yard plantings • <br /> in accordance with Orange Co. standards will be submitted with <br /> final plans. <br /> 40 <br /> • <br /> 4 <br /> n <br />
