15 Orange-Alamance Water System. The existing sewer main is adjacent to McGowan Creek on the north side of the tract. The lot has direct access to Efland-Cedar Road, a collector. In 1991 , the average daily traffic count for SR 1004 was about 2300 trips per day. Under R-3 zoning, the maximum number of residential units allowed would be twelve ( 12 ) , resulting in an additional 120 trips per day on Efland-Cedar Grove Road. Because the property is in the Upper Eno Protected Watershed and has access to public water and sewer, the maximum impervious surface allowed would be thirty percent ( 30%) . A stream buffer based on slope is required adjacent to the 100-year flood plain on McGowan Creek. The Sheriff, EMS, fire protection, water, and sewer service providers have each responded that service is available to the property in question.
