19 cif The Planning Staff recommends that the Preliminary Plan for Southern Winds be approved through the Resolution of Approval (an attachment to these minutes on pages ) . Dorothy Scoggins, representing the applicant, stated that the easement indicated on the tax map extending south from Phelps Road was not an easement but an old road bed. Efforts had been made to obtain this easement but the applicant's request was denied. Best indicated he had voted against the concept plan because he preferred the stubouts be left in the plan. He referred to a copy of the Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan and noted the location of this subdivision in relation to that Thoroughfare Plan. He felt that, in order to plan for future traffic concerns, providing an easement for possible future travelway which may connect NC 86 and Phelps Road is a logical step. MOTION: Best moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Jacobs . Yuhasz stated that the same discussion had occurred when the concept plan was presented. He felt the Planning Staff's recommendation ignored the sentiment of the majority of the Board from the previous discussion that it was inappropriate to have a through road at this location. Thus, he would be opposed to this motion. Burklin noted that he could understand the applicant's concerns with through traffic on a Class B road. Best responded that his concern was to plan for future development. Yuhasz stated that he felt an easement would certainly encourage through traffic but would not be of any benefit to the Southern Winds Subdivision. Eddleman noted that he felt lots which range in size from three to seven acres would be purchased with the idea of privacy. He continued that he felt property owners would be opposed to a through road which would destroy that privacy. Cantrell noted that she felt it would be a very pronounced burden on the owners of Lots 5A and 5B to provide such an access. •
