The proposed project <br /> 972 encompasses approximately 180 acres in the Hillsborough Economic Development District(EDD) <br /> 973 south of Interstate 40 and west of Old Highway 86, within Hillsborough Township. 168 acres are <br /> 974 currently zoned MPD-CZ(Settler's Point)and 12 acres are currently zoned R-1 (Rural Residential). <br /> 975 This item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 15, 2020. <br /> 976 PRESENTER: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor <br /> 977 Michael Harvey reviewed the abstract and proposed changes to the Zoning Atlas Amendment <br /> 978 The Applicant for the RTLP proposal give a presentation <br /> 979 <br /> 980 Randy Marshall: I read in some of the material here that you are likely going to consider putting left turn only from <br /> 981 that service road onto Davis Drive, I didn't see it in your presentation.

That is part of the conditions. <br /> 986 <br /> 987 Randy Marshall: I think that would help address some of the residents concern that there'd be a lot of increased <br /> 988 traffic going down Davis Road or at least intending to try to control traffic and encourage them to turn left, that might <br /> 989 allay some of their concerns. <br /> 990 <br /> 991 Michael Birch: Absolutely, and that access point is approximately 1000 feet from the intersection with 86 and as 1 <br /> 992 mentioned, the traffic engineers have been working with the County and the State to really anticipate only about 5% <br /> 993 of the site trips to come or to go on Davis Drive to the west, or coming from the west. We think that signage will <br /> 994 assist with that. <br /> 995 <br /> 996 Adam Beeman: My biggest concern is the traffic coming off of 40 or especially coming from Mebane. How do you <br /> 997 plan on solving that problem because it's only a single lane coming down the ramp and there is no lights so right now <br /> 998 anybody that comes off that ramp could sit there for minutes before they can make a left turn to go towards the <br /> 999 hospital. I only see that increasing with all those, the developments that they put in over across the street from the <br />
