3 " 4 How are uses within the ED district protected from each other? General questions and discussion about the site volume ratios. Are there any guarantees that landscaping will be maintained? If trees die after several years, will they be replanted? - In the absence of impervious surface requirements, how will we guarantee that there will be enough soil to support landscaping and provide sufficient infiltration for stormwater control? Restrictions on outside storage should be made to make sure that it is not the primary use, and the storage is well screened. (Joyce Scott) Require large buffers at the edge of the ED zone to protect the residential land outside the "node". (Alvis Oakley) S. Watershed Protection Even though this area is not in a protected watershed, the area should be protected as if a designated protected watershed. (Patrick Mulkey, Chair of the Bingham TAC) - Non-point source pollution needs to be considered in opening up an area to non- residential development. 6. Water and Sewer Who will pay for water and sewer extensions? Will taxes go up? Will that cost be passed on to property owners along the lines in the form of frontage fees? If water and sewer are provided, Durham will annex. Why does Hillsborough want more water than they already have? What is driving this effort? Is there a major business that wants to locate here that we are trying to accommodate by changing the ordinances? Has there been discussion with OWASA and Hillsborough regarding water and sewer availability? Will the land around the NC 86/ I-40 interchange develop faster than the remainder of the district? (Depends on water/sewer extensions.) Taxes helped pay for the waterline on NC 86, but residents can't use it. For the ED zone to work, water and sewer provision must be accomplished; a fund must be set up to extend public utilities to the area. (Walter Ray)
