Section One is zoned Residential -1, with <br />the northwestern half of the property in the Protected <br />Watershed portion of the Upper Eno Watershed. <br />The Land Use Plan designations are Rural Residential <br />and Water Supply Watershed. Adjacent land use is <br />residential. The most recent (1987) traffic count <br />information for this portion of Davis Road is 100 <br />trips per day. <br />The total acreage of Section One is approximately 36 <br />acres. Twenty -sixty (26) new residential lots are <br />proposed which average 1.23 acres in size. All lots <br />will be served by new public roads, individual wells, <br />and individual septic tanks. <br />Because the subdivision may contain as many as 69 <br />lots and is proposed to have only one entrance <br />on Davis Road, the Planning Staff recommends that New <br />Hope Springs Drive be extended on the northern end to <br />provide a second entrance on Davis Road in the <br />vicinity of lots 9 and 10. <br />
