~~ <br />,u t~ <br />Hatch Road (SR. 1944) <br />Orange County, North Carolina <br /> <br />Property Location: The property is located in the Chapel Hill Township, Orange <br />County, south of Hatch Road (SR 1944) and west of the Robins Wood subdivision.. <br />Property Identification: TMBL # 7.11.3,B.39 /Parcel ID # 9768-37-0974 <br />Total Acreage: The site consists of one tract of land that is 130.,08 acres in size. <br />Zoning: Rural Buffer (RB) District with University Lake Watershed Protection Overlay <br />Developer: The site is proposed to be developed by Heffner Properties, Tnc., of Chapel <br />Hill. Tom Heffner, the president of Heffner Properties, Inc., has developed a~xl/or been <br />associated with several ]nigh-quality residential communities located within Orange <br />County in the past. <br />7,oning: The Rural Buffer (RB) zoning district was established to provide for rural <br />residential development within the portion of Orange County designated as Rural Buffet, <br />Since no extensions of public water and sewer lines are allowed within the Rural Buffer, <br />development within. the Rural Buffer (RB) zoning district relies on wells for domestic <br />water supply and ground absorption systems for sanitary sewage disposal. This property <br />is also located within the University Lake Watershed Protection Overlay District which <br />restricts development to one dwelling unit per fve acres. Subdivisions within this <br />overlay district may also contain up to, but no more than, fve residential lots with a <br />density of one dwelling unit per two acres.. <br />Developer's Pr°ogram: The developer of this property proposes to use one of Orange <br />County's Flexible Development options to develop the property. Selection of this <br />development option allows more flexibility in the proposed lot sizes (as long as the <br />allowable density is not exceeded) and affords the opportunity to save more open space <br />than traditional subdivision development. For example, we note that the amount of land <br />that is required to be set aside as open space within the Rural Buffer (RB) zoning district <br />is 33% of the site; however, based on the reduction in five-acre lot sizes that are provided <br />by the Flexible Development option, approximately 41% of the site is proposed to be <br />preserved as open space. <br />it~esd~mnp~on - Projec!
