Staff reviewed the Major Subdivision Concept Plan application review process, including the need to submit a Conventional and Flexible Development subdivision layout for review, and reviewed the physical composition of the subject property. Staff informed those in attendance the applicant, Drees Homes, had voluntarily chosen to submit just a flexible development layout as allowed by the UDO. Staff informed those in attendance of the meeting scheduled by the Planning Board to begin the review of the proposed subdivision on February 5, 2014. Once the Concept Plan is approved the applicant shall have 2 years to submit a Preliminary Plat application package for action by the County. Staff reviewed the process associated with the review of a Preliminary Plat application. The applicant’s agent, Mr. Terry Boylan, reviewed the basic elements of the proposal as follows: • Development of a 16 to 17 lot single-family residential subdivision, each lot approximately 1 ½ to 2 acres in area, on an approximately 46 acre parcel of property located off Pleasant Green Road. • The lots are intended to be served by individual well and septic systems, • Access to the project will be from paper Birch Lane, an existing roadway about to be accepted for maintenance purposes by the State. • Internal roadways serving the project are proposed to be constructed to applicable public road standards, with the eventual goal that they will be turned over to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for perpetual maintenance upon completion, • The overall density of the proposed subdivision is 1 dwelling unit for every 2.8 acres of property. • The project will involve the preservation of 15 acres of land area as open space. (STAFF COMMENT: The development proposal reviewed at this meeting included 17 individual lots. Based on comments from this meeting, and review of access management and stormwater concerns, the applicant has voluntarily chosen to eliminate 1 lot and proposal the ultimate development of 16 lots for this project).
