OR.A;;GE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES <br /> Pa, ,e. 2 <br /> October 22, 1979 <br /> Dr. Wilson questioned the road that the flow of traffic would bean,. He <br /> was concerned about congestion on Old NC 86. <br /> Mr. Efland: What's the status of Hillsborough's extraterritorial extension? <br /> Mr. Kirk: It has not been decided upon yet. The maps have been drawn up <br /> marking the areas, but no official action has been, taken by the Town of <br /> Hillsborough. <br /> Mr. Efland: Row many lots would the developer lose if he had to comply with <br /> the:15,000 sq. foot lots? <br /> John Hartley: I thought the land I purchased was a legally recorded subdivi <br /> but before I closed on the property I found there was a legal problem. I am <br /> presently building is Flint Ridge Woods. This is the development just to th <br /> north. ; These lots are 10,000 sq. feet. My original subdivision vas 10,500- <br /> 11,000 sq. feet. I designed the subdivision to make it as Compatible as I <br /> could in size to Flint Ridge Woods. The area is zoned A-10 by the Town of <br /> Hillsborough on their proposed zoning maps which would allow for 10,000 sq. <br /> lots or multi.-fmnrly. Already Flint Ridge Woods has a density of around fou <br /> dwelling units per acre. The way that the land lies I would like to reserve <br /> a small section of it for potentially 16 multi-family units. I plan to <br /> repair the dam and use this open space for this part of the subdivision. I <br /> asking for a variance, I would lose about three or four lots if I were to me <br /> the 15,000 requirement for the County, but I feel that I have designed a <br /> subdivision of the same character as surrounding areas, and I would like the <br /> variance to require a 13,000 sq. foot lot. <br /> - Mir. Hartley was asked by the Board if he had studied the recommendation <br /> from the Planning Staff (see Attachment A) and if he would be able to meet <br /> these as stated. Mr. Hartley stated that his only problem would be the turn <br /> around that would make the subdivision accessible for fire trucks. He felt <br /> that his plan had provided accessible for fire trucks. He felt that his pla <br /> had provided adequate access. <br /> Mr. Polatty: John Forrest, Hillsborough's Fire Chief, was concerned with <br /> the water pressure in the area. A 2" line is on Oakdale Drive and a 6" line <br /> is on Murdock Road. Re felt this was not sufficient to supply the area and <br /> suggested that a drafting station should be provided at the and on the easte <br /> cul-de- sac. <br /> Mr. Hartley: if the hydrants are provided will you still need the drafting <br /> station? <br /> Mr. Efland: Would the hydrants be on the 6" line or the 2" line? Hydrants <br /> should not be connected to a 2" line because it is deceiving and dangerous. <br /> Mr. Polatty: Clarence Rosemond, Hillsborough's Water Superintendent, has <br /> checked this and saw that there would be no problem to tie into the 6" line. <br /> The drafting station should also be available as a supplementary measurement <br /> Mr. Efland: I would' imagine that fire hydrants connected to a 6" line would <br /> be sufficient and a drafting station would be necessary. <br /> Mr. Pdlatty: We recommended both and think that they are needed. John Fort <br /> feels that this would be necessary. <br /> In conclusion, we decided to include this recommendation. <br /> Dr. Irvin: Will busing be available to the children in this development and <br /> will they be in the Hillsborough school district? <br /> �_�_ v„1.rt r. we checked with the school district, and btises do travel in <br />
