The proposal is for a 20-lot single-family Flexible Development <br /> subdivision on 41.97 acres (PINs 9884-32-3275 and 9884-31-9874) located in Eno Township on the north side of US <br /> Highway 70 across from the Occoneechee Golf Club. The Concept Plan request for this subdivision was approved <br /> by the Planning Board at its April 3, 2019 meeting. <br /> PRESENTER: Patrick Mallett, Planner II <br /> Patrick Mallett:You have your staff report which we call an abstract which this case starts on page 31. This has four <br /> attachments: An application package;Vicinity map; Site assessment; Staff generated correspondents; and Excerpts <br /> from the Planning Board case last month in April. Under a separate cover, you also have the plan. Some you have <br /> large plans. Some have small plans. This case was heard last month as a concept plan approval request. This <br /> request was originally submitted as a 27-lot subdivision under a different name called Occoneechee Hills. As it <br /> started moving through the process,the applicant changed the request to go from 27 lots down to 20 lots which <br /> removed the requirement for a Special Use Permit in addition to the major subdivision approval. It changes the <br /> cadence of how the case is processed. Last month the consideration was for the Concept Plan. We are at Part Two <br /> of the process. They basically had already done a significant amount of the Preliminary Plat work, so they were able <br /> to get the final touches in and then get on to the agenda for this month, so the Planning Board is hearing this case in <br /> back-to-back months. <br /> Patrick Mallett: Reviewed a PowerPoint presentation on Fairway Hill's preliminary plat review. The flexibility design <br /> option requires you to share the existing additions namely the stream buffer's steep slope,vegetated areas and <br /> existing structures. This is the preliminary plat subplan,very similar to what was reviewed with the concept plan that <br /> added more details in terms of Storm Water Control measures, or BMP, storm water devices. With the Concept <br /> Plan, it shows treatment for lot clearing, street trees along the two public streets, and then landscaping preserved <br /> areas and they're additional plantings along the 75-foot buffer along US 70. It also shows theoretical plantings for <br /> both either a cleared lot or a preserved lot within the subdivision. The Plan summary including the two parcels is <br /> 41.97 acres,and the total number of proposed lots is 20. The average lot size is 56,594 square feet, 1.3 acres. The <br /> area and open space is 15.54 acres. It's 37 percent of the site. This is just a summary of the same attributes with <br /> breakouts on the primary and secondary open space. Around the perimeter of the project there's a hundred-foot <br /> building set back. Along US 70 they have 120-foot building set back and they also reserved a five-foot area along <br />
