Neal & Associates PLLC 105 West Corbin Street Hillsborough, NC 27278 Re: REVIEW OF EXTENSTION REQUEST Extension of Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Approval for Triple Crown Farms (PIN 9850 -91 -0030) Approval of extension request and authorization to record initial plat Dear Mr. Neal: am in receipt of your request, dated May 8, 2015, for a twenty -four (24) -month extension of the deadline for recording the Final Plat for Triple Crown Farms, a 20 -lot subdivision located on 104.05 acres (PIN 9850 -91 -0030) at southwest intersection between Dairyland Road (SR 1112) and Triple Crown Drive in the Chapel Hill Township. As you are aware, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners approved the Preliminary Plan for this subdivision on June 17, 2014. The plan is set to expire on June 18, 2015. As discussed, the marketing and development plans for the project have been on- going. However, it is unlikely that plans, permitting and construction will be completed prior to the above expiration date. You are, therefore, requesting the permitted extension as outline below. Per Section 2.15.3 (G) of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) the Planning Director: "May, within one year of the expiration of a Preliminary Plat, re- approve the expired Preliminary Plat or portions thereof, so long as the subdivision design and conditions of approval are in compliance with subdivision and zoning regulations in effect at the time of application for re- approval, and any changes to the original design or conditions of approval are considered minor."
