32 <br /> <br />Slide #38 1 <br /> 2 <br /> Perdita Holtz said in the rural buffer, there is a clause that the tracked size needs to be a 3 <br />minimum of 10 acres to be considered for flexible subdivisions, and flexible subdivisions are how 4 <br />clustering is done in Orange County. She said there is also a requirement for flexible subdivisions 5 <br />that each lot must be served with its own water and sanitary sewage connection, and land within 6 <br />the University Lake watershed has more stringent requirements, generally one unit per five acres. 7 <br /> Commissioner Fowler said, based on that, it doesn’t sound like rural conservation 8 <br />clustering could happen in the rural buffer unless changes are made to the water and sewer 9 <br />requirements. 10 <br /> Perdita Holtz agreed that is probably true. 11 <br /> Commissioner Carter asked about water and sewer in a neighborhood on Highway 54, 12 <br />west of Carrboro. 13 <br /> Perdita Holtz said she doesn’t recall the extension of water and sewer in the rural buffer 14 <br />during her tenure. She said that the neighborhood is listed as an exception area in the Water and 15 <br />Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA). She said she doesn’t know 16 <br />if the neighborhood predates the rural buffer or not. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Slide #39 19 <br /> 20
