139 <br /> Hillsborough/Orange County Courtesy <br /> Review Comments <br /> 1/27/2023 � r <br /> C N <br /> Planning(Tom King 919-296-9475 tom.king@hillsboroughnc.gov) <br /> There are concerns with how the proposal affects the Town-approved East Village at Meadowlands project; <br /> approved as a special use district rezoning in late 2020. Sheet C-5 of the attached plan set is what I refer to.These <br /> concerns are as follows: <br /> 1. Has the East Village at Meadowlands property owner, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, been <br /> consulted regarding the sewer extension proposed on their property(i.e.,the point from the sewer <br /> manhole in the parking lot in front of Lots 44&45 heading southeast—east-south)?The utility proposal <br /> will affect their project(as noted below). <br /> 2. The southeast-oriented segment of the sewer extension south of Lot 45 will conflict with a required <br /> parking lot shade tree& parking lot screening. <br /> 3. The proposed sewer line running south along a portion of the east property line is located within required <br /> open space for the project.The UDO under which the project was approved prohibited utilities running <br /> coincident with required open space for a distance of more than 50 feet.The permit-issuing authority <br /> could approve a greater distance. In this case,the Town's Board of Adjustment would now have to <br /> approve a modification to the issued Special Use Permit for project to allow the sewer proposed in the <br /> southeast corner of the tract. <br /> 4. It appears a portion of the proposed sewer easement in the southeast corner of the tract will overlap a <br /> proposed Stormwater Control Measure access& maintenance easement (or vice-versa). <br /> 5. The roads proposed through the site are labeled as public ROW, however annexation of the project is not <br /> proposed or supported by the Town Board,the Town would therefore not accept these roads for <br /> maintenance. Applicant should verify with NCDOT that they will accept and maintain these roads or <br /> change the labels to 'Private Road'. <br /> Utilities(Bryant Green 919-296-9630 bryant.green@hillsboroughnc.gov) <br /> The Town of Hillsborough reviewed the proposed rezoning application for the above referenced project in <br /> Orange County, below, please find our comments and concerns for inclusion in the courtesy review process. <br /> 1. Inadequate fire flow is available at the subject site to support the proposed use.The water distribution <br /> system in this area is adequate for domestic, residential water demand but is not sized for commercial or <br /> institutional fire flows or sprinkler demand. Significant offsite improvements will likely be needed to <br /> provide fire flow to the site in the volumes and pressures needed while maintaining adequate service to <br /> existing customers. <br /> 2. The proposed water distribution connections are not feasible.The existing waterline in US 70A is in the <br /> Town's Central Zone, while the waterlines in Lawrence Road and Lannie Drive are in the Town's South <br /> Zone. Connecting these two zones through the subject site will adversely impact water system <br /> 101 E.Orange St.,PO Box 429,Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> 919-296-9477 1 shannan.campbell@hillsboroughnc.gov <br /> www.hillsboroughnc.gov I @HillsboroughGov <br /> www.visithillsboroughnc.com I @HillsboroughNC <br /> Pre-development Agenda 1 1 of 1 <br />
