Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meeting until such 109 time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. 110 111 112 113 AGENDA ITEM 8: ACTION ITEM: MAJOR SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT—To review and make a recommendation to 114 the BOCC on a Preliminary Plat application for a Major Subdivision named Rigsbee Estates. The 115 Plat is consistent with the Concept Plan reviewed and approved by the BOCC as the site-specific 116 plan of a Residential Conditional District(R-CD) rezoning application on October 7,2025. The 117 proposal is for a 43-lot subdivision on approximately 61.11 acres with 57.66% (35.24 acres)of 118 dedicated open space. The parcel is located at 3531 NC Highway 54 W in the Bingham 119 Township, PIN9749-42-2010. 120 121 Lauren Honeycut: Hello. Thank you. Good evening. Tonight,we are looking at the major subdivision preliminary 122 plat for Rigsbee Estates. So,this property is located at 3531 NC 54 West in the Bingham 123 Township. It's a little over 61 acres. The current zoning of the property is residential conditional 124 district. This was approved in October of 2025 by the Board of County Commissioners for 125 rezoning to allow for this major subdivision over 21 lots. There are no overlay districts and it is not 126 in water supply watershed surrounding zoning. So,we're Rural Residential to the north. 127 Agricultural residential to the south, and then local commercial and neighborhood commercial to 128 the east. The future land use is a rural community activity node. This is a land use by designated 129 road intersections. It serves as a nodal crossroads for the surrounding rural community, and 130 appropriate uses are low impact, commercial in nature,things like churches,fire stations, post 131 offices. There is no proposed amendment to those future land use. Summary of the proposed 132 major subdivision is, it is following a flexible development model,which designates open space. 133 There are going to be 43 lots as approved in the conditional district rezoning. A condition of that 134 rezoning was that it can have no more than 43 lots, so it is at this. An average lot size is a little 135 over half an acre, also consistent with the approved conditional district rezoning. They are 136 designating greater open space than was originally proposed at the rezoning. They are proposing 137 57.66 percent,which is a little over 35 acres to be held in common, open space. That's across 138 primary and secondary open spaces, so we have about 12 acres in primary and about 23 acres in 139 secondary. Secondary open space is going to be things that are for more recreational activities 140 plus community gathering spaces. This is the preliminary plat as proposed. It designates the 43 141 lots,the common open space, and then also conformance with the conditions of the approved 142 conditional district. So,where we are in the review process is, so we started at that conditional 143 district rezoning that you saw last summer. They had been holding a neighborhood information 144 meeting at that time to go over the concept plan,which is what that conditional district served as it 145 was recommended, and then ultimately approved by board of county commissioners. Their 146 preliminary plot phase was reviewed by our development advisory committee on January 22nd, 147 and following comments and revisions for the plan to meet our standards, it is at planning board 148 before you tonight. Your role is to receive and review the preliminary plat, and make a 149 recommendation to the board of county commissioners. Staff analysis, as we're required. We are 150 preparing and submitting a recommendation on the application to the board for your consideration. 151 In our analysis,we deemed that the preliminary plat was complete with the standards from our 152 ordinance detailing for applications and major subdivisions. The staff determined that the 153 properties of sufficient size to support the proposed subdivision. We have determined that the 154 preliminary plat will conform with all of the development standards held in Article 6 of our 155 ordinance and Article 7. We support the flexible development model designating that greater 156 common open space, and then, also, as a portion of the approved conditional district,we are 157 ensuring that everything on the preliminary plat will conform to the conditions agreed upon that 158 designated them as being able to be rezoned. So,following this,the planning director 159 recommends that the board receive the preliminary plot application and recommend approval of 160 the preliminary plat as submitted. So,with that, I'll being us back to the main body of the review 161 for the preliminary plat. Staff is here if you have any questions as well as the applicant Forestar 162 Group if you have any question.
