37 <br /> building site cannot be found on these lots due <br /> to the 75-foot Piedmont Electric easement, these <br /> lots shall be combined to ensure suitable <br /> building sites. <br /> The approved Concept Plan included a 70-acre <br /> parcel with 40 lots proposed. The submitted <br /> preliminary plan only includes the southern <br /> portion of that 70-acre parcel. The condition <br /> referred to lots in the northern portion of the <br /> 70-acre parcel and therefore does not apply to <br /> this section. <br /> Agency comments were received from Emergency <br /> Management, County Attorney, Environmental <br /> Health, Soil and Water Conservation, Recreation <br /> and Parks, Durham City/County Planning, and <br /> NCDOT. Applicable comments have been incorporated <br /> into the Resolution of Approval. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the <br /> Preliminary Plan for Hardscrabble subject to the <br /> conditions contained in the Resolution of <br /> Approval (copy an attachment to these minutes on <br /> pages ) . <br /> Barrows asked about the community water system. <br /> Kirk responded there is to be a 6" water line <br /> extending into the property from Durham. <br /> Waddell asked about the County line. Kirk <br /> responded that it is the easternnmost line in the <br /> subdivision. Waddell verified that children in <br /> this subdivision would attend Orange County <br /> Schools. <br /> Ron Horvath, consultant, commented that NCDOT <br /> requested a cul-de-sac at the end of one of the <br /> streets. The sixty foot right-of-way that opens <br /> up onto is a private sixty foot access that was <br /> turned over several years ago on the possibility <br /> that it might at some point provide an access. He <br /> continued that he will be requesting of NCDOT <br /> that he be allowed to pull the cul-de-sac out of <br /> the stream buffer. Kirk responded that he had <br /> spoken with NCDOT today and they indicated the <br /> possibility of a temporary turn around rather <br /> than a cul-de-sac. Kirk noted that the wording <br /> in the Resolution is such that whatever is <br /> required by NCDOT will be constructed. <br /> Burklin asked for a clarification of a temporary <br /> turn around. Kirk responded that a temporary <br /> turn around is usually a gravel cul-de-sac. Reid <br />
