students and proportionately more than five staff members will occupy the building when it is expanded. Current Conditions Zoning: Rural Residential (R1) Watershed: Not in a designated protected watershed. Total Tract Size: 20.8 acres (owned by Orange County Board of Education) SUP Acreage (Requested): 20.8 acres Current Land Use: Existing after school /community relations building in an old house is located on the site Surroundinq Land Uses: Stanback Middle School to the south, Stoney Creek subdivision to the east, predominately undeveloped land to the north, and a church to the west on the opposite side of NC 86. Traffic Impact: The existing road network can adequately handle the anticipated number of trips generated by the alternative school (100 or fewer trips per day). The capacity of NC 86 in this area is between 12,500 (for level of service D) to 14,000 (for level of service E), while the annual average daily traffic (AADT) estimated in 2004 is 8,300 north of the intersection of NC 86 and New Hope Church Road. This project does not require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) because the anticipated trip generation is less than 800 trips per day and no other road capacity or safety issues have been identified. The North Carolina Department of Transportation District Engineer indicates that the existing turn lanes on NC 86 to the entrance street for A.L. Stanback Middle School should provide acceptable storage for the anticipated traffic generated by the site. The NCDOT District Engineer notes that parking and turning maneuvers should be prohibited along the shared driveway stem (Storey Lane) within 100 feet of NC 86. The site plan shows the (western) driveway access for traffic exiting the alternative school site aligning with the driveway entrance to A.L. Stanback Middle School, approximately 180 feet from NC 86. There is a common driveway entrance to the proposed school building and the existing school /community relations building farther east. The two access points allow one -way traffic operations from east to west through the school site. Appropriate signage should be installed to direct traffic exiting from the community relations building to yield to incoming traffic to the school. Bicycle racks shall be installed at the alternative school and the school /community relations building. The site plan indicates a paved walkway around the school with access to the drive. The plan also consider pedestrian access on the overall site plan. Water /Sewer. Water and sewer services are planned to be provided by the Town of Hillsborough. Orange County Schools will design, construct and pay for connecting to the water and sewer lines; no extensions are needed to serve the school. Once constructed, the lines and pump station will be dedicated to Hillsborough for maintenance purposes The school will pay all fees associated with their water and sewer service to Hillsborough in accordance with Hillsborough's water and sewer connection policies. Impervious Surface Requirements: The property is located in the unprotected portion of the Lower Eno Watershed and is not subject to impervious surface requirements, other than those imposed by the submitted site plan.
