07t: <br /> . . <br /> two 18p gpm pumps with an effective capacity of 129,600 gpa <br /> capable of serving 324 households. Effluent will be pumped <br /> I:1 by-wayi-of a 6-inch force main to another pump station located <br /> at Wilmore Electronics. The effluent will then be pumped by- <br /> may-oqa 4-inch force main to the Town of Hillsborough waste <br /> treatmlit plant. The effective capacity of the Wilmore pump <br /> station is 132,000 gpd, utilizing two-five horsepower motors <br /> rated at 92 gpd. each. The pump station currently.handles <br /> TOO gpd.. The addition of WildwOod Subdivision, Phase I <br /> (10,409 gpd) and. Phase (63,200- gpd) would utilize 56% of the <br /> pump station's capacity. <br /> 3. Vehicular access must consist of direct access to a street <br /> certifiled either arterial or collector as designated by the <br /> adopted Land Use Plan. <br /> 1 <br /> Staff Comment: N.C. Highway 86 has been classified as an <br /> arterial street in the Orange Coanty Land Use Plan. :Direct <br /> access Ito this facility is available from the properLf in <br /> question. <br /> Arterials are thoroughfares that provide the best service <br /> (shortest travel times) to and from important employment, <br /> shopping, educational and population centers. They are <br /> characterized by realtively high travel speeds with minimum <br /> interference to through traffic. <br /> Because of the importance of N.C.. Highway as an arterial or <br /> "traffic mover", care must be taken to protect this function. <br /> In 19811 traffic volumes along this route had reached 4,500 <br /> vehicles per day. Given the capacity of the route (9,500 <br /> vehicles per day) this means that an excess capacity of <br /> approxithately 5,000 vehicles per day remains. <br /> Completion of Wildwood-Phase I will result in an additional. <br /> 253 trips per day. This is based on anaverage trip rate of <br /> 9.72 trips per day for medium-density single-family 'dwellings. <br /> The addition of 158 units under the requested rezoning would <br /> add an additional 1,536 vehicles per day. These two developments <br /> alone would utilize 36% of the remaining carrying capacity of <br /> N.C. Highway 86. <br /> The developer has also indicated a desire to develop an additional <br /> 29.7 acres at R-8 densities (8 units/acre). Such a development <br /> could generate as many as 1,180 vehicular trips per day (29.T <br /> acres x 8 units/acre.x 4.97 trips/condomiaum). The addition of <br /> this project to Phases I and II would utilize 59% of J4he remaining <br /> capacity; and increase traffic volumes from 4,500 to 7.469 vehicles <br /> per day. <br /> Because of the impact created by the development of this traro- <br />
