Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Attention: Craig Benedict, Director c/o Patrick Mallett, Planner A 401 Providence Road, Suite 200 Chapel Hill, INC 27514 T: 919 - 929 -1173 F: 919 - 493 -6548 Firm License #: F -1267 www.pennoni.com RE: Request for Private Subdivision Roadways Triple Crown Farms Subdivision Triple Crown Drive Chapel Hill, Orange County, NC Project: PKLA1601 Dear Mr. Mallett: At the April 3, 2018 Board of County Commissioner's meeting, discussions were held with regard to the applicant's request to modify the previously approved Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application. Said request is to modify the original approval which indicated that the internal subdivision roadways be constructed to NCDOT public road standards; the applicant is requesting to provide private roadways. The primary reason for this requested change relates to permitting required by the Army Corp of Engineers and NC Division of Water Resources. A maximum 150 linear feet of channel disturbance is permitted before mitigation is required. The attached exhibit (dated April 5, 2018) illustrates how the DOT standards would have required impacts to the existing on -site streams well beyond the 150 - linear foot threshold. Although the applicant is requesting that the internal subdivision roadways be private, please note that the roadways have been designed and will be constructed to meet the NCDOT Subdivision Road standards, except for the crossings. Attached also please find the following documents prepared by the applicant in conjunction with the request: • Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements, and Restrictions for Triple Crown Farms, and • Declaration of Restrictions and Provisions for Private Road Maintenance.
