196 Approved 10.1.25 1535 property and the regulations that apply to it and anything else is outside the bounds of what we 1536 can do as a zoning regulation. 1537 1538 Lamar Proctor: Thank you. And I do think it's been clear through this discussion that any communication or 1539 agreement between other adjacent property owners or other property owners is a matter of private 1540 interests between those legal entities and the landowners. And as the applicant has pointed out, 1541 as the developer they will eventually develop and sell these lots and that neighborhood will have 1542 an HOA, and once again,we can't get involved in that. That's a private matter between the 1543 people who buy that, but that HOA as a legal entity would have discussions with Eno River 1544 Academy or with adjacent landowners, but we can't condition zoning on those things. 1545 1546 Cy Stober: That's correct. I'm very happy to see and I know Taylor worked very hard at is basically teeing up 1547 those conversations as best we can through the powers that we do have to compel the easements 1548 and rights-of-way to be extended to the property lines, so those conversations can be had, and 1549 the applicant has responded to that staff guidance and conditions. 1550 1551 Jonah Garson: Just very quickly. I understand and I've heard that there's a small HOA with an adjacent 1552 neighborhood, private property owners. What is, and this is informational,what is the extent of 1553 our mandate with regard to conversations with public schools, public entities? 1554 1555 Cy Stober: None. They have a different elected board, and that board would need to take action,the OCS 1556 board to compel, and they need to make that commitment as part of a written document that'll be 1557 provided in the packet. None has been provided. 1558 1559 Statler Gilfillen: However, if those organizations had talked before they made a presentation, say,this evening, 1560 and they presented an agreement between those organizations which impacts the final layout of 1561 the plans tonight, that could impact our decision, right? 1562 1563 Cy Stober: Similar to the town providing a willing to serve letter for utilities, yes, that would be a factor you 1564 could consider. 1565 1566 Statler Gilfillen: Thank you. 1567 1568 Whitney Watson: So again, if you could,Taylor, if you could scroll,zoom out a little bit on the GIS map. I was 1569 wondering if you could speak to what the relative density for this new project would be like or 1570 similar to other developments in this part of Orange County. Is it going to be greater than what's 1571 represented by the property lines here or is it going to be less or about the same? Because that 1572 kind of gets to the rural character. 1573 1574 Beth Trahos: Sure. So, you see quite a bit here of the Town of Hillsborough, and I don't know specifically the 1575 size of these lots within these neighborhoods. A third of an acre with a traditional platted 1576 subdivision, that's what these subdivisions are. 1577 1578 Venkat Yendapalli: I think that subdivision is on sewer if I'm not wrong. Maybe planning team knows better. 1579 1580 Cy Stober: Yes,those are all Town of Hillsborough. 1581 1582 Beth Trahos: Sure. But so,these lot sizes would be larger. However,there would be open space that would be 1583 surrounding rather than just lotted out 20,000 square feet is roughly half an acre as compared to a 1584 third of an acre. That accommodates the septic that would be needed to serve these lots that are 1585 not getting service from the town. So, lots would be bigger than some of the lots you see, smaller 1586 than others that you see, but they would be surrounded by that common open space. 1587 1588 Venkat Yendapalli: What's the minimum lot requirement as per UDO for this property? Haven't seen this. 1589
