a d J3 71 <br /> (2) Phase I - Highland Downs <br /> (12 lots - Cheeks Township) 037 <br /> Presentation by Eddie Kirk. <br /> This agenda item is for the consideration of <br /> the Preliminary Plan for Phase One of Highland <br /> Downs Subdivision. <br /> The property is located in Cheeks Township on <br /> Highland Farm Road (SR 1332) . The total acreage <br /> of the tract is 164 .20 acres, with 21 acres <br /> proposed for division. The developer is <br /> proposing twelve (12) lots with an average lot <br /> size of 1 .5 acres. Public streets (Downs Drive <br /> and Rosena Court) are proposed, constructed to <br /> State standards. The property is zoned <br /> Agricultural Residential (A-R) and designated <br /> Agricultural Residential in the Orange County <br /> Land Use Plan. <br /> All agencies have reviewed the preliminary <br /> plan. The N.C. Department of Transportation <br /> indicated a need to submit a complete set of <br /> construction plans for review. Construction <br /> plans would be submitted to and approved by <br /> NCDOT prior to final plat approval. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the <br /> preliminary plan with the following <br /> conditions: <br /> 1 . Lots 1 and 12 must receive access from <br /> Downs Drive. <br /> 2. Lots 2 and 5 must receive access from <br /> Rosena Court to meet NCDOT density <br /> requirements. <br /> 3. That Downs Drive be dedicated public to the <br /> property line. <br /> 4. If the road is extended in the future. the <br /> cul-de-sac will be deleted. <br /> Jacobs asked about the implied easement at the <br /> end of Rosena Court. Kirk responded that it <br /> was first thought that the property to the east <br /> was landlocked. Scott Dorsett stated that he <br /> would provide an easement through the remainder <br /> of Dorsett Acres. Therefore the Planning Staff <br /> feels that this easement is no longer <br /> necessary. <br />
