<br /> Approved 10.1.25
<br /> 110 as is required by the unified development ordinance for a conditional district rezoning application
<br /> 111 includes site-specific plan, an environmental assessment, a biological inventory, and as noted,
<br /> 112 this has gone before review agencies, including the Orange County Development Advisory
<br /> 113 Committee,which includes addressing and land records staff; building inspections; department of
<br /> 114 environment, agriculture, parks and recreation; environmental health; erosion control; and fire and
<br /> 115 life safety. North Carolina Department of Transportation is also involved in our DAC review, and
<br /> 116 staff submitted the entire application packet to the state environmental review clearinghouse. The
<br /> 117 DAC comments included in the application packet note all of the needed permits or concerns or
<br /> 118 advisory comments from all the DAC members. I will let the applicant get into their site-specific
<br /> 119 plan. I will quickly say it's proposing a 49-lot subdivision with lots 20,000 square feet in size. It is
<br /> 120 proposing two accesses on NC 86 North, and the property does have various mapped
<br /> 121 jurisdictional streams on site,which are subject to Orange County stream buffer regulations. Per
<br /> 122 state statute, imposed conditions and site-specific standards are limited to those that address
<br /> 123 conformance of a development and use of the site to local government ordinances and adoptive
<br /> 124 plans or the impact is reasonably expected to be generated by the development or use on site.
<br /> 125 You will find in the application that the applicant has proposed conditions. You as the Planning
<br /> 126 Board are also open to suggesting conditions, as is the Board of County Commissioners.
<br /> 127 Ultimately, the Board of County Commissioners and the applicant would have to agree to stated
<br /> 128 and imposed conditions. I think I might let the applicant also get into the conditions. I think you
<br /> 129 have that on your own slide show, so I'll keep these here for reference, but we can come back to
<br /> 130 them as needed, so there are a total of ten conditions, all of which are land use specific, and with
<br /> 131 that, I will hand it over to the applicant team. After the applicant presentation, I do plan on coming
<br /> 132 back to finalize some staff notes before we open up to board discussion and public comment.
<br /> 133
<br /> 134 Beth Bronson: The conditions are in the packet or are not in the packet?
<br /> 135
<br /> 136 Taylor Perschau: They are.
<br /> 137
<br /> 138 Beth Bronson: They are in the packet, so I just wanted to make sure.
<br /> 139
<br /> 140 Cy Stober: Staff has provided those conditions. In addition to the applicant's packet,they should be in the
<br /> 141 staff report,the ordinance, and the statement of consistency.
<br /> 142
<br /> 143 Lamar Proctor: I think they're on Page 82.

<br /> 145 Beth Trahos: Good evening, Mr. Chair, and Planning Board members. My name is Beth Trahos. I am an
<br /> 146 attorney with Fox Rothschild, and I am here tonight on behalf of Forestar Development to propose
<br /> 147 the development of the 49-home community on Highway 86. 1 have with me a big team of experts
<br /> 148 who will be available tonight to answer any questions you have. Laura Haywood and Jason
<br /> 149 Rivenbark with Forestar, Don Sever,with Bowman,who is the civil engineer, Rachel Cotter and
<br /> 150 Nicole Steele with Weston and Sampson, our landscape architects,Josh Reinke with Bolton and
<br /> 151 Menk, the traffic engineer, Ward Marotti with Spangler Environmental and David Barcal with
<br /> 152 McConnell and Associates, and we have worked very closely with your staff who has been
<br /> 153 available and helpful and collaborative with us, and we really appreciate their professional
<br /> 154 expertise and assistance. This is the subject property. It is 79.76 acres on Highway 86 North. It
<br /> 155 is immediately adjacent to Town of Hillsborough corporate limits with the Eno River Academy to
<br /> 156 the back. There are a number of surrounding residentially focused land uses to the site. Of
<br /> 157 course,the Eno River Academy, Pathways Elementary School, Mars Baptist Church as well as
<br /> 158 some homes, some small neighborhoods, and some vacant land. The broader area here includes
<br /> 159 a wider variety of uses, HVAC repair, a construction company, Orange County Public
<br /> 160 Transportation,several churches, Fairview Park and more homes and neighborhoods and vacant
<br /> 161 land. You can see the variety of zoning that's out here, everything from AR to industrial, and in
<br /> 162 between. We propose residential conditional district, and as your staff said, that means we have
<br /> 163 committed to a concept plan as well as written conditions, and our goal with this plan is to provide
<br /> 164 much needed housing while representing the rural heritage of this area,which is now very close to
