NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Small Area Plan make up and distribution of water resources contained within this proposed reservoir, however, has not been resolved. The owners have further proposed to use the future reservoir as a raw water source for the City of Durham's water distribution system. The City of Durham Department of Water Management is proceeding with engineering design studies on this matter. As a raw water source, the reservoir may not be a good source of drinking water for the Study Area, but it could possibly be a source of water for fire suppression systems. Infrastructure management is an important component to allowing for additional development within the Study Area. Goal Statement 9. No new development should be allowed that negatively impacts existing infrastructure (i.e. groundwater, traffic generation, etc) unless an appropriate and viable solution has been approved by the County to mitigate these conditions.. Objective 9 -1. The BOCC shall not permit any public water distribution or sanitary sewer collection system to be extended into the Study Area, unless such extension conforms to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement policy. Policy. Unless the existence of a documented public health hazard presents itself, the County shall not permit the extension, or development, of public water and sewer service within the Study Area, as the presence of such services will diminish the rural character of the community by encouraging more dense development within the area. Objective 9 -2. Within eighteen (18) months of the adoption of the Small Area Plan, the BOCC shall adopt new subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance standards, which prescribe sustainable groundwater use standards and traffic generation intersection analyses protocols. Policy. The BOCC should review the viability of developing adequate facility standards for the Study Area to establish limitations on: water usage, traffic generation, clearing limits, etc. to ensure existing developments are not adversely affected by new development proposals Objective 9 -3. All driveways and intersections shall be evaluated and possibly be re- configured to provide for a more orderly flow of traffic along the NC Highway 57 corridor as rezonings and development proposals arise. Policy. The County should work with the NCDOT and local property owners to develop a coordinated access management plan for NC 57 corridor to mitigate identified traffic issues and to improve traffic flow. Objective 9 -4. Within eighteen (18) months of the adoption of the Small Area Plan, the BOCC shall adopt amendments to the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance addressing parking lot design, circulation and access. 35
