366 <br /> vi. One Page 31, Table 8 of the TIA there are references to Old NC 86 <br /> at 1-40 EB have an issue with maxing out the 200-feet of available <br /> storage during AM travel periods. <br /> Staff is concerned none of the recommendations contained within <br /> the TIA call for an additional lane or improvement beyond a traffic <br /> light to address this issue. <br /> vii. The overall conclusions (page 34 of Exhibit H) identify the problems <br /> that create a LOS E and LOS F for these particular intersections, <br /> but offer no solutions. As 2 of the three intersections in question <br /> connect to 1-40, and one connects with the road containing three of <br /> the development's four total driveways, this is a concern for staff. <br /> 16. Section 5-1 Vegetated Buffers: <br /> i. Number 1: As proposed, there is a 100 ft. `perimeter structure <br /> buffer' along the external western property line with allowances for <br /> parking/internal roads within 50 ft. of the western property line. <br /> Consistent with the provisions of Section 6.8.12 (C) of the UDO, <br /> staff recommends observing a 100 ft. perimeter buffer for the <br /> Project from western and southern property lines that are adjacent <br /> to residentially zoned property. <br /> Staff would agree with allowing trails and/or roadways within this <br /> area but not parking areas. <br /> ii. Number 3: Staff recommends a 30 ft. vegetative/landscape area <br /> separating the Project from both the Service and Davis Road rights- <br /> of-way. As written, the narrative references a 25 ft. 'land use buffer' <br /> along Service Road and does not mention Davis Road. <br /> iii. Number 4: Please indicate buffers along all 'water features' (i.e. <br /> streams, floodplain, wetlands, etc.) shall be preserved consistent <br /> with Section 6.13 of the UDO. As an aside, required buffer is <br /> based on slope. There may be areas of the Project where a 65 ft. <br /> stream buffer may be applicable versus an 80 ft. buffer. <br /> C. MASTER PLAN SET: <br /> 1. Section 6.7.1 (B) (1) of the UDO requires a map of the development site. <br /> While the master plan map set provides the majority of required detail(s), <br /> the submittal should be modified as indicated: <br /> i. Label and identify the various 'lines' on the submitted map(s). <br /> Specifically: <br /> 1. Internal and external property lines; <br /> 2. Internal rights-of-way; <br /> 3. Internal district or 'pod' development areas; <br /> 4. Utility lines/easements. <br /> 11 <br />
