Proposed Access and Transportation Network Improvements <br />The project proposes access via a new 50-foot public right of way connecting to Dairyland Road, subject to <br />NCDOT design and construction standards. The new road shall not be interconnected to any adjacent <br />properties and is proposed to terminate in a cul-de-sac conforming with NCDOT regulations and the NC <br />State Fire Code. A second access to Orange Grove Road, via an existing gravel driveway, shall be <br />maintained to provide a secondary, restricted access point for emergency vehicles only. Final design for <br />the secondary access point and proposed road, including the cul-de-sac and temporary turn arounds, will <br />be determined at final plat stage based on the review and approval of Planning staff, NCDOT, and the <br />Orange County Fire Marshall. <br /> <br />The project is proposing public access from Dairyland Road only. As part of the Conditional Rezoning <br />process, the following access improvements were proposed based on the submitted Transportation Impact <br />Analysis (TIA): <br />− Dairyland Road at Site Driveway - Construct a full-movement site driveway with one ingress lane <br />and one egress lane. <br /> <br />Summary of Transportation Information <br />Existing Roadway Characteristics <br />Affected Roadway Dairy Land Road <br />Type of Roadway Minor Collector <br />Current Roadway Capacity 9,000 <br />Latest Traffic Volume 1,000 <br />Traffic Generation <br />Number of Trips Expected to be Generated by <br />Proposed Project <br />95 Total Daily <br />45 Total AM Peak <br />45 Total PM Peak <br /> <br />Proposed Utilities <br />Water and wastewater services will be provided via individual private wells and septic systems on each lot. <br />Wells and septic systems shall meet Orange County Environmental Health standards.
