t: 3 Ms. Eleanor Russo noted that the proposal for four dwellings to an acre might set a precedent and create a highly dense area. She questioned what kind of strain this type of development would have on police protection, etc. Dr. Irvin stated that the facilities in question were adequate. Ms. Lee Ricketts questioned whether the four homes to an acre would cause a strain on the pressure of the water lines for adjoining areas such as Joppa Oaks? She noted the only fire protection from Joppa Oaks came from the Hillsborough Fire Department. Marvin Collins described the utilities already located in this area and stated that the effect of the additional water pressure will not be overwhelming. The Town of Hillsborough has agreed to accept all water and sewer lines in Phases I and II of Wildwood, and have indicated that this development can be served by them. Mr. Joe Perkins stated that residents of Joppa Oaks could not get water hydrants in the area because the fire department will not hook a hydrant to anything less than a six inch pipe; the pipes in place are two inches. Ms. Hilda Brody raised her concern for Hillsborough's extensive use of water resources, noting specifically Seven Mile Creek. Dr. Irvin noted that Cates Creek empties below Seven Mile Creek, so the chances of contamination of Seven Mile Creek to Cates Creek would be virtually nil. Ms. Nancy McCoy stated that she lives on the corner of Jasper and Lonnie Drives and she does not have enough pressure for her washing machine or to fill the bathtub. Chairman Whitted raised some question regarding the timetable for the 12 inch main mentioned in the Harmon Young Study and the area the main will serve. Mr. Collins stated that the property on the lower side of Southern Railroad will be developed for industrial purposes, and the lines will accomodate this area and Wildwood Phase II. Cununiooiunec Whitted was told by members of the Planning Staff that these lines could possibly serve Joppa Oaks ficot, With no decisions made, oz- Irvin concluded the hearing on this item. D-3 BezonizuJ-Ilazue.st 7/2 (see pages . of this book) Marvin Collins noted this request involved the same 3.01 acres on the east side of NC 86. The requested zoning classification would allow for residential development densities up to four units per acre. The proposed zoning classification is R-4, allowing four units to the acre, with a minimum lot size requirement per dwelling of I0,000 square feet. The intent of the R-4 district is to provide locations for low and medium intensity residential development. The Zoning Ordinance contains three criteria which must be met: Cl) The area is designated by the Adopted Land Use Plan as a transition area and can reasonably assume annexation by municipalities within the projected period; (2) The individual should be aware that the water and sewer lines available to the site with approval by the State and the Town of Hillsborough can be extended; (3) Entrance access must be by way of the street classified as arterial or collector. NC 86 has been identified as arterial. Police protection in this area is provided by the Orange County Sheriff's Department and is located in the Orange Fire District which is serviced through Hillsborough for fire protection. Mr. Collins stated in response to Ms. Pilkey's concern for buffers and the widening of NC 86, that NC 86 has an existing 100 ft. right-of-way. The plan ",a=m"+ImA =h"°~a 1-h~ h"f+~, "°+~"fli"" mc R .
