v. Construct a right-in/right out access for the retail/office/hotel parcels 182 <br />on Old NC 86 approximately 500 feet south of the Service Road. 183 <br />Staff informed the Board that, in consultation with the applicant, the Director 184 <br />recommended the imposition of the following additional condition: 185 <br />Development of District 1 shall utilize Service Road to obtain access to Old 186 <br />NC Highway 86. 187 <br />At the time development exceeds allowable traffic trips, as defined within the 188 <br />Master Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), requiring a restriction/prohibition on left 189 <br />turn(s) off of Service Road onto Old NC Highway 86, an alternative traffic 190 <br />alignment/improvement shall be required to serve District 1 allowing for both 191 <br />left and right turn access onto Old NC Highway 86. 192 <br />This alternative shall be reviewed and approved by Orange County and the 193 <br />NC Department of Transportation and shall be installed prior to the approval 194 <br />of additional site plans in District 1 beyond the defined threshold in the 195 <br />original/amended TIA. 196 <br />The Board verified that acquisition/dedication of additional right-of-way to 197 <br />accommodate intersection designs as detailed in the amended TIA shall be in 198 <br />accordance with applicable NC Department of Transportation requirements. Staff 199 <br />reminded the Board this was already a recommended condition. 200 <br />The Board verified there would be no impacts to the Davis Road intersection. Staff 201 <br />indicated the revised TIA shows a right-turn lane off of Old NC Highway 86 allowing 202 <br />traffic to access Davis Road but that there were no other modification(s) anticipated 203 <br />for this intersection. 204 <br />The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed 205 <br />conditions associated with internal and external roadway development consistent 206 <br />with the supplemental TIA. 207 <br />9. The Planning Board reviewed the concept site plans for District 1 and 2 denoting 208 <br />the anticipated location of parking areas, access roads, stormwater features, 209 <br />landscaping, building(s), etc. offering no additional comment. 210 <br />10. The Planning Board reviewed the detailed buffer plan denoting 211 <br />proposed/required project buffers (i.e. perimeter, MTC, stream AND floodplain, 212 <br />roadway, etc.) offering no additional comment. 213 <br />11. The Planning Board agreed with an applicant suggestion that a tree survey 214 <br />should be required denoting the location of ‘specimen trees’ in District(s) 1 and 2 215 <br />at the time of site plan application submittal and not prior to action on the 216 <br />rezoning petition. 217 <br />12. A condition was recommended by the Planning Board limiting the number of 218 <br />outdoor lighting features being left on after local business operations close for the 219 <br />evening. The recommended condition reads as follows: 220 <br />The number of outdoor lighting fixtures left on after normal business 221 <br />hours shall be the minimum necessary to ensure compliance with 222 <br />applicable industry guidelines and standards including, but not 223 <br />limited to: IES/ANSI, OSHA, etc. in order to maintain safe lighting 224 <br />conditions for employees, business owners and the public. 225 <br />87
