Subdivision Type Number of Lots Average Lot Size Area in Open Space Open Space Percentage Flexible Development Plan 19 lots (+1 Exempt lot) (density is 1 dwelling unit for every 5.2 acres of the total property) 3 acres 38.53 acres in open space 41.4% open space proposed (33% required by the UDO) STAFF COMMENT – SUBDIVISION TYPES: The proposal is in accordance with the anticipated densities for properties located within the Rural Buffer land use category as defined within the adopted Comprehensive Plan, Rural Designated area as denoted on the Growth Management Systems Map, and the requirements of the Joint Planning Land Use Plan. Roads: The applicant is proposing the creation of two private roads serving the proposed 19 single- family residential lots and Open Space. Per Section 7.8.5 of the UDO the roads will have to be constructed to appropriate private road standards. Specifically, the plan calls for: • Two cul-de-sac roadways. The first roadway (tentatively named Secretariat Court) will provide access to lots 12 through 19. The second roadway (tentatively named Gallant Fox Crossing) will provide access to lots 2 through 11. • Both roads require stream crossings and Section 401/404 permits by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and NC department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). These permits have been obtained. STAFF COMMENT - ROADS: Staff has determined that the proposed new roadway layout is consistent with the requirements of the UDO. However, staff does recognize the differences in construction and maintenance between public and private roads. Staff recommends that the roads as proposed be reflected in a revised Private Road Maintenance Agreement (RMA), and that the developer record a disclosure statement with the recordation of the Final Plat. Both documents would acknowledge that the roads do not meet the NCDOT design standards and would require significant improvements to meet those standards if converted to public roads meeting the NCDOT design standards. Staff also recommends that the developer finalize all temporary and final driveway permits for the intersection of these private roads with Triple Crown Drive right-of-way and traffic circle. Utilities – Water and Sewer: The applicant is proposing to serve the project with individual wells and septic systems developed on each lot. STAFF COMMENT - UTILITIES: Orange County Environmental Health approved the previous Preliminary Plat layout identifying septic and well locations for each proposed lot. No significant changes are proposed. 129
