ORANGE COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT <br />Q <br />To: Eddie Kirk, Orange County Planner <br />From: Rich Shaw, Land Conservation Manager <br />Date: January 18, 2007 <br />Re: Carramore Subdivision Proposal <br />Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Carramore <br />Subdivision. The proposal would create 8 lots on 20.658 acres located east of Kerley Road. <br />All but 0.308 acre of the subject property is located in Durham County. <br />ERCD comments on subdivisions are generally intended to a) address any concerns with <br />respect to potential impacts on important natural or cultural resources, and b) identify any <br />areas that might.be desirable for possible dedication to the County for public recreation/ <br />open space pursuant to Section N -13-7 -b of the Orange County Subdivision Ordinance. <br />The Preliminary Plat (November 15, 2006) shows that only 0.308 acres is located in Orange <br />County. The Orange County portion is a narrow strip of land located adjacent to Kerley <br />Road. The plat shows a 50- foot -wide public right of way that would be constructed through <br />that narrow strip, from Kerley Road and into the subdivision ( Carramore Lane). The rest of <br />the Orange County property would be set aside for Open Space -4,699 square feet south of <br />the entrance road and 4,618 square feet north of the entrance road. <br />The Orange County portion of the plan appears consistent with the County's <br />desire to minimize adverse environmental impacts with respect to the protection <br />of floodplains, wetlands, natural areas and wildlife habitat. <br />Let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss these findings. <br />cc: David Stancil <br />Environment and Resource Conservation <br />PO Box 8189 /306 -A Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />(919) 245 -2590 <br />M <br />
