IHMARCHIi=CiS Corti <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Most of the rock appears to be isolated to the perimeter ai nd steeper slopes of the site and <br /> should not be o significant impact to development. <br /> Average gradients in buildable areas for Sites#i and#2 are comparable at 6.5%-8%but with <br /> grades averaging in excess of 5% the sites may require some retaining walls and extensive <br /> earthwork to meet accessibility requirements. <br /> The biggest issue for this site appears to be infrastructure costs for improving Ray Road and <br /> extending water and sewer to the site, the costs of which is almost double Site#2. <br /> NCDOT has concerns about establishing right of way to publicly improve and dedicate Ray <br /> Road without extensive opposition from neighboring property owners who have recently turned <br /> down a petition to have Ray Road paved. The existing grave!road is not in the centerline of the <br /> right of way and many property owners along Ray Road have significant encroachments into <br /> the future roadway. <br /> ' Watershed protection requirements, though costly, should not prohibit the ability to develop the <br /> site. Stormwoter regulations for ail three sites are comparable. if the school system chooses to <br /> implement the High Performance Guidelines for Public Facility Regulations, these measures <br /> would be required for certification anyway. <br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools High School Site Selection Study <br />
