Approved 9.4.24 Marilyn Carter: And I'll just note, I support this request because it's consistent with the direction of moving 186 toward more developments that implement conservation clusters, so this is very 187 consistent with our strategic plan. 188 Adam Beeman: I have a second, all in favor? Against? 189 MOTION BY Lamar Proctor to approve the Zoning Atlas Amendment. Seconded by Statler Gilfillen. 190 MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 191 Adam Beeman: All right, motion passes. 192 AGENDA ITEM 8: MAJOR SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT: To review and make a recommendation to the 193 BOCC on a Preliminary Plat application for a Major Subdivision named Stonewall. The 194 Plat is consistent with the Concept Plan reviewed and approved by the Planning Board in 195 April 2024. The proposal is for an 18-lot subdivision on approximately 36.36 acres with 196 47.9% (17.42 acres) of dedicated open space. The parcel is located on Miller Road in the 197 Hillsborough Township, PIN 9875-64-5097. 198 Patrick Mallett: Next item that you have on your agenda is a major subdivision flexible development. This 199 is the preliminary plat; it's commonly known as the Stonewall Subdivision. It's off of Miller 200 Road. This was Ashley Moncado’s case but given the weather and the fact that she lives 201 far away I said I'll take this case forward for you. Unlike the previous case, this is like the 202 Lawrence Road Subdivision that you heard during the summer. It's not a zoning, it's a 203 major subdivision process. The circumstances are different, and it is meeting all the 204 requirements required in Section 7 of our UDO. That process you go from a concept plan 205 to a preliminary plan and then the final plat. The subdivision is proposing a degree of 206 open space and single-family lots. This outlines the process, this is where we are, the 207 preliminary plat, that goes on with a recommendation just like a rezoning goes to the 208 commissioners. They consider it, if approved, then a final plat is prepared with other 209 documents and recorded with land records through the register of deeds. Like I said, the 210 site is over northeast of Hillsborough off of Miller Road. This shows the pin, the township, 211 a rural site, currently it’s 36.36 acres, and the applicant is Kevin Currin, Grayrose 212 Properties. This property is actually split zoned slightly, there's, the area in green is 213 zoned rural buffer, the area in yellow is rural residential or R1. It's in the Lower Eno, 214 Unprotected watershed. There are no other overlay districts. Future land use 215 designation, rural residential, agricultural residential, this is the COCA which drives what 216 they can do in terms of service and densities. The summary of the subdivision is flexible 217 development plan, so it has a road, common open space, they're proposing a total of 18 218 lots. The average lot size is 40,012 square feet, that's just under, that's pretty close to an 219 acre. The area in open space is 17.42 acres, that totals 47.9 percent in open space. 220 There's a breakout of the open space in primary and secondary, you may recall, last go 221 round with the major subdivision we had different tiers of open space, primary open space 222 is intended to preserve naturally sensitive areas, steep slopes, stream buffers, areas of 223 historical or cultural significance and then secondary open space which can be used for 224 more active like uses. The buffers and setbacks 40 feet from the rights-of-way including 225 the new road that they would build 20 feet from the sides and the rear and a 30 -foot type 226 B buffer. There's also a perimeter building setback of a hundred feet. Access would be 227 via a 50-foot public right-of-way and it's a DOT ultimately accepted road. They'd be 228 served with individuals wells and septic systems, and they're making a payment in lieu for 229 their park and rec fee. That's pretty standard with these types of subdivisions. This is the 230 overall layout, you can see they're basically drawing a singular road, terminating in a cul-231
