There will be a need for easement reservations through the middle school site to serve the proposed soccer complex/public use to the east, Close coordination between the middle school and the soccer complex/public, sites during the construction will be necessary to ensure that water and sewer easements are placed in appropriate locatiens. If the locations have not been specified prior to final plat recordation stage, a blanket easement conveyed to Orange County will be needed to allow the installation of public lines, Impervious Surface Requirements: The property is located in the Economic Development District (EDD) and the Upper Eno Protected Watershed, The maximum impervious surface ratio permitted without a structural BMP is 12 percent, The site plan contains no BMP and shows an impervious surface ratio of 13 percent, Either the impervious surface ratio must be reduced to 12 percent or less, or a structural BMP must be included on the site plan and constructed and operated to ordinance standards, If the school site and the soccer complex is developed simultaneously (i,e. joint driveway), there is a possibility that the impervious surface allocation can be spread across bath sites thereby eliminating the requirement of constn~cting an expensive, structural BMP storm water pond.

This determination is based, in part, on the Wetland Preliminary Assessment performed by the consultant hired by the school system. Staff was not able to concur with this finding due to the fact that the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has not field verified (AIW made a Jurisdictional Determination) the consultant's findings of the extend of the wetlands on the site. If the USAGE had made a jurisdictional determination of the location and extent of the USAGE wetlands as well as the methods that the applicants proposed to minimize the impact and effect on the wetlands, staff would have been in a better position to recommend approval of the original site plan. Also, the Biological Inventory indicates that there are vernal pools on the site. However, staff recommends approval because the May 7, 2004 site plan was revised to eliminate drainage concerns and to avoid wetlands and vernal pools on the site. Development Process, Schedule, and Action Articles 8,4,3 and 8,4,4 of the Zoning Ordinance require that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board. The public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's recommendation.
