10 53 12 T 17 14 soils are located along the perennial stream which forms the northern boundary of the subdivision. Most will be protected by the required stream buffer where structures and septic tanks are not permitted. Orange County Erosion Control and Orange County Environmental Health have commented that the drainage easements indicated on lots 4 and 7 should be shifted to more accurately reflect existing topography. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plan for Sykes Glen, Phase 3 with public roads built to NCDOT standards and the following conditions: 1. Add to note #4 that septic tanks and wells are also prohibited in the stream buffer. 2. Re-align the entrance road to provide a 90 degree intersection with SR 1117. 3. Dedicate 10' x 70' sight triangles at all intersections. 4. Adjust the 30' drainage easements shown on lots 4 and 7 to follow existing swales. Crudup described where and when phases 1 and 2 had been developed. She indicated there was no additional land owned by the developers for any future phases. Best asked if there had been any consideration given to connecting the two proposed cul-de-sacs into a loop road. Crudup responded that neither the Staff nor DOT had recommended a loop. There was some discussion about the physical characteristics of the site and safety concernsowa whether those conditions would prevent connecting the cul-de-sacs. Yuhasz asked the purpose of the two-foot strip of land to be left between the entrance road right- of-way and the adjacent property owner. Crudup responded that the entrance will be re-aligned and the remaining area would restrict access to the road for the subdivision residents only, not adjacent property owners. She added that the left over strip should be combined with lot 16, since the ordinance would prohibit creating a "split lot" situation by connecting the strip with a land hook to lot 1 across the road.
