Stafidards for <br /> estimating traffic generation, water consumption, sewage flow and school student Popula.ion <br /> were ther, applied t ' ascertain the effect of the project on thoroughfares, public utili y <br /> systems and schools.I These calculations are shown on the accompanying table and discus-ed <br /> in the "Application Criteria" section. <br /> APPLICATION CRITERIA <br /> The R-4 zoning distrlict is one of three (3) districts designated as low and medium dens ty <br /> residential district ". The purpose of such districts is to provide locations for low , d <br /> moderate intensity residential development and supporting recreational, community, . <br /> service or educational uses in areas where urban services are available, or are to be <br /> provided as part of the development process. <br /> Section 4.3 of the Zoning Ordinance states that the district designations will usually •e <br /> applied where the following conditions exist: <br /> 1. Designated by the adopted Land Use Plan as a Transition Area which <br /> can reasonably be annexed by a municipality in the ensuing 10-20 years. <br /> Staft Comment: The Land Use Plan has designated this area as a 10-Year <br /> Transition Area. It is reasonabit. to assume that the <br /> Town of Hillsborough would annex the area within 10-20 <br /> years. <br /> 2. Water and sewer lines should exist at site or be assured of installation <br /> as part of the development process. <br /> Staff Comment: According to Clarence Rosemond, Water-Sewer Superintendent <br /> for the Town of Hillsborough, water service is available <br /> by-way-of a two-inch main. This line, however, should be <br /> upgraded to a six-inch line in order to provide fire hydrants <br /> (fire protection) in the area. Sewer service can be made <br /> available by either installing a force main or by relying <br /> on a gravity flow system. The developer would have to bear <br /> the cost of extensions of water & sewer facilities. <br /> . . <br />
