12 6. Dedicate to public use (Orange County) the right-of-way for the stubout. Provide a deed to the County and label the stubout as "dedicated to public use. " 7. Submit a revised landscape plan showing a more accurate location of the canopy line, specifically at the rear of lots 52 through 54, and indicate proposed plantings to meet the requirements of Section IV-B-8 . Best asked that Crudup point out Orange County Speedway and the quarry site and the distance from this subdivision. Crudup did so and indicated that it was approximately 1600 ft. to the boundary line of this site from the speedway and the quarry site is located on the other side of NC 57 . Crudup noted that NCDOT had indicated they had no plans for immediate improvements to Bacon Road. She did indicate, however, that the developer said there would be some realignment and improvements out to NC 57 by NCDOT. Jacobs asked why staff did not recommend - improvements to Bacon Road along the frontage, at least to the highest level State gravel road. Crudup responded that could be added as a condition of approval. Glenn Darst, applicant, noted that NCDOT had indicated to him there would be improvements made to a hairpin curve just east of the position where his road would enter Bacon Road. Best asked about the Traffic Impact Analysis. Crudup responded that 800 trips per day were required for a Traffic Impact Analysis and this subdivision would create approximately 560 trips per day. Best continued expressing concern that Bacon Road could not handle the increase in traffic without improvements. He stated he would prefer assurance • that those improvements would be made before approval of this preliminary plan. Hamilton expressed concern that Bacon Road is in a major state of deterioration and could not handle additional traffic. • Jacobs suggested that the Planning Staff ask NCDOT to re-evaluate Bacon Road for improvements and request signage for the curve. This could be included in a motion.
