iii. The Old NC Highway 86 right-of-way gradually decreases from 100 ft. to 60 ft. where the initial curve/anticipated U-turn intersection starts. Staff is concerned there is insufficient right-of- way to accommodate the proposed U-turn. In consultation with the applicant, the Director has recommended the imposition of the following condition: Development of District 1 shall utilize Service Road to obtain access to Old NC Highway 86. At the time development exceeds allowable traffic trips, as defined within the Master Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), requiring a restriction/prohibition on left turn(s) off of Service Road onto Old NC Highway 86, an alternative traffic alignment/improvement shall be required to serve District 1 allowing for both left and right turn access onto Old NC Highway 86. This alternative shall be reviewed and approved by Orange County and the NC Department of Transportation and shall be installed prior to the approval of additional site plans in District 1 beyond the defined threshold in the original/amended TIA. Acquisition/dedication of additional right-of-way may be required to accommodate intersection designs as detailed in the amended TIA contained within Attachment 1. Please note per existing recommended conditions, already agreed to by the applicant, all right-of-way acquisition shall be in accordance with applicable NC Department of Transportation requirements. 3. Revisions to project concept plan: a. The BOCC has requested a concept site plan denoting the anticipated location of parking areas, access roads, stormwater features, landscaping, building(s), etc. for District(s) 1 and 2. b. A tree survey shall be required denoting the location of ‘specimen trees’ in District(s) 1 and 2. The survey should provide the location of significant foliage (i.e. species, height, width, etc.) within the various development areas. c. A more detailed buffer plan denoting proposed/required project buffers (i.e. perimeter, MTC, stream AND floodplain, roadway, etc.) including widths, explanation of existing vegetation (i.e. pictures of the existing foliage being preserved) or more detail (i.e. cross section and rendering) on how required buffers would be replanted if necessary. 4. Other Consideration(s): a. A condition was recommended limiting the number of outdoor lighting features being left on after local business operations close for the evening. There were also additional suggestions the signs be required to be extinguished after hours as well. This was to address concerns over light pollution. 16
