~~ I. C. PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES The site presently has no public water and sewer systems.. Area homes are serviced by private well and septic systems. The options for public water and sewer provisions were analyzed as was a consideration of a potential special assessment program. The area is within the Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Map as Orange County's primary service area. This means Orange County will determine how utilities are likely to be provided in this area whether it is of its own sewer facilities extension or by inter-local agreement with other service providers (a City of Mebane Agreement for a utility service area includes this parcel). Although there are a variety of options, the focus of utility provision will be on a public water system that can provide an appropriate allocation of potable water and, as important, the infrastructure to provide fire suppression pressures and flows. In summary, public utilities can service this parcel in a period of a few years given that the "backbone" system is likely to be created with the f rst phase of infrastructure development in the Economic Development District area associated with the school and EDD initiatives. Grant monies are available for sewer extension in tlis general area associated with the school and EDD initiatives. The development of this infrastructure could run concurrent with the development of the site for building activities which is a customary practice. I. D. ENVIRONMENTAL. CONSIDERATIONS 1. SOILS The majority of the site has well drained Georgeville and Herndon soils, which are suitable for building construction, roads and recreation fields. There is also an area of Orange soils which is less suitable, but relatively better than Enon and Chewacla soil types. The site has primarily and relatively good drainage soils as noted on the Soils Map.. Staff'cann answer questions about the uses of the soil types. There are some soils and seasonal wet conditions with less desirable building properties along the northwest corner..
