southern parcel line and a 30 foot Type B landscape buffer is provided on the western property line along 497
<br />Lawrence Road. Access is being provided by a 50-foot public right of way, and the site will also be served by 498
<br />individual wells and septics. For existing conditions on this site, and we do have the larger Lawrence Road site, 499
<br />here, for review tonight. So please be mindful the actual subdivision, being located down here in this quadrant. 500
<br />There's an existing tree line. There is also a stream located on the existing site that would require a 65-foot 501
<br />buffer. I was going to move on to the site analysis, zoomed in to the actual site, the actual parcel related to the 502
<br />subdivision. You can see the stream here, as well as a 65-foot stream buffer. The lighter yellow includes areas 503
<br />with a slope of 7.5 to 15 percent, and this pink-reddish color here includes a slope of greater than 25 percent. 504
<br />The Primary Open Space totals 1.09 acres, and includes the stream. The stream buffer area and the little pocket 505
<br />of slope, there. The Secondary Open Space totals 8.86 acres and includes the areas around the proposed lots 506
<br />along the northern end, the western side, and the southern side of the site and includes the remaining areas. It's 507
<br />been identified by yellow for slope. And then, here, we have the Concept Plan. We can see the 15 lots, the lot 508
<br />lines, possible building location footprints. Wells are identified by the blue dots. Potential septic areas are 509
<br />identified by the green polka dots at the rear of the lots. We can also see the 50-foot public right of way that is 510
<br />being proposed to provide access to all the proposed single-family homes, and that does include an 18-foot 511
<br />travel way that will be in that public right of way. Finally, there is also 20-foot wide pedestrian access corridor, 512
<br />which will be connected to the cul-de-sac, running north to connect to the northern parcel, which would be the 513
<br />future home of the recreational facilities that were affiliated with SUP that was approved by the Board of 514
<br />Adjustment. We have the Preliminary Plat, which you'll notice is very similar to the Concept Plan on the last 515
<br />slide. Again, we can see the lot lines. We can see the setbacks that are being proposed based on the R1 zoning 516
<br />district. Landscape buffer is being identified on the western side, as well as the southern side of the parcel. 517
<br />Stream and stream buffer and stormwater control measures are being identified here with circles, on the 518
<br />Preliminary Plat. The Preliminary Plat also identifies 20-foot-wide drainage and access easements along the 519
<br />northern part of the parcel here. It kind of cuts between these two lots along the southern side of the proposed 520
<br />lots. The Concept Plan for this application was presented at the January 18th DAC. The Preliminary Plat was 521
<br />presented at the February 15th DAC. Comments are provided in your agenda packets. The Neighborhood 522
<br />Information Meeting was coordinated by the applicant and held on February 13th. The NIM report is in your 523
<br />packets as well. This is where we kind of get a little different from the last application and what Taylor hinted at 524
<br />earlier this evening. Tonight, you will receive and review the Concept Plan; approve the Flexible Development 525
<br />Option; and then you'll be looking at reviewing the Preliminary Plat and providing a recommendation on the 526
<br />Preliminary Plat to the BOCC. The Planning Director recommendation in front of you tonight, is to receive and 527
<br />discuss the Concept Plan application; approve the Flexible Development Option contained in Attachment 1; and 528
<br />then receive the Preliminary Plat application and recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, as submitted. 529

<br />Statler Gilfillen: I am the Eno Village representative to the Planning Board. Lawrence Road is a street. It's 531
<br />one of the only bypasses of Hillsborough, and we're all aware of the traffic congestion and the problems that we 532
<br />have. Each time that you add a new access to Lawrence Road, you begin to control or potentially even make it 533
<br />more dangerous going up and down Lawrence Road. I have some serious qualms, not with the development 534
<br />itself, with providing two immediate accesses to Lawrence Road. When I look at this, as a licensed architect, 535
<br />with over 40 years of experience in planning and design, why it is really necessary to design this to have two 536
<br />accesses that close together, with individual cars coming out of each one of those streets will slow and congest 537
<br />the traffic along Lawrence Road? I have serious problems with the design as it's presented, not the concept of 538
<br />what he's trying to do. Thank you. 539

<br />Phil Koch: So I'm very familiar with layout from the SUP, as well as from this, and the two things are 541
<br />actually separate items, and the DOT has required turn lanes for the access that's above, that's going into the 542
<br />ball field area, play area, all of that that is involved in the athletic association and a separate entrance here. And 543
<br />they have reviewed this entrance. They are in agreement that this is the best spot for the entrance. I have looked 544
<br />at it with them out on the site. They have actually stated this, I believe, even when the SUP was going through 545
<br />that this was an acceptable entrance, and now they've come back, and they've met with us in the field and said 546
