128 <br /> 6 <br /> COMPLIES. The site is proposed to be served by a sewer force <br /> main and gravity flow system. As stated in the previous <br /> section, it appears that some sections of the site would be <br /> hard-pressed to utilize septic tank development, thereby <br /> making public services more reasonable. Water lines currently <br /> exist to the north in the Strayhorn Hills development, and <br /> the Town of Hillsborough has committed in principle to serve <br /> this project with water. <br /> Transportation System <br /> Located in areas that have very good road access, as well as <br /> service by rail lines. These areas should have the most <br /> complete transportation network in the County's planning <br /> jurisdiction. <br /> COMPLIES. Both New Hope Church Road and Old N.C. 10 are <br /> designated as collector roads in the Land Use Element of the <br /> plan. Furthermore, interchanges with Interstate 40 and 85 are <br /> a short distance away. Although not needed, the Southern <br /> Railroad borders the northern portion of the site. <br /> The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Urban Area Transportation <br /> Plan, currently under review, could impact this site <br /> significantly. The most recent version of this plan shows the <br /> proposed Durham Outer Loop traversing the easternmost portion <br /> of this property. At present, this major thoroughfare is not <br /> a scheduled project in the current planning horizon through <br /> the year 2010. This schedule is subject to change, however, <br /> and there is some indication that the Durham Outer Loop may <br /> be moved up into the 2010 scenario for design and <br /> construction. This thoroughfare's exact location would be <br /> examined at length during any Planned Development review. Any <br /> location of this major thoroughfare in the general vicinity <br /> will substantially add to the transportation network that — <br /> this site has available. <br /> A development of the magnitude of that shown on the concept <br /> plan would have a significant impact on New Hope Church Road <br /> and Old N.C. 10 in their current capacity. The issue of <br /> these potential road improvements would be properly addressed <br /> at site plan review stage. <br /> Energy Use <br /> Located within less than a 5-minute commuting <br /> - • time from small-scale commercial uses and a 5-10 minute <br /> commute to major commercial uses or an urban area. <br /> COMPLIES. The site is within a five-minute drive of small <br /> commercial uses at the I-85/Old N.C. 86 intersection. The <br /> site is also within 10 minutes of Durham, Hillsborough or <br /> Chapel Hill urban areas. <br /> II <br />
