32 <br />1 Mark O'Neal, with Pickett Sprouse Real Estate, said that plus or minus 500 cars based on a <br />2 4,000 traffic count per day would require a turn lane. Also, a subdivision with over 50 lots <br />3 would require a turn lane. NCDOT's traffic count in 1997 on Jones Ferry Road is 4,300 trips per <br />4 day. " <br />6 MOTION: McAdams moved to accept the Preliminary Plan for The <br />7 Woodlands subdivision as recommended by the staff. Seconded <br />8 by Barrows. <br />10 VOTE: Ayes, 4; Noes, 4 (Selkirk, Gooding -Ray, Strayhorn, Allison) <br />11 Strayhorn and Selkirk felt that a turn lane is not needed. <br />12 Gooding -Ray also felt that a turn lane is not needed. She added <br />13 that the number of lots does not warrant a turn lane, although it <br />14 might become necessary in the future, as there is more <br />15 development. Allison'had a concern about this particular case. <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />The preliminary plan for The Woodlands goes forward to the County Commissioners without a <br />Planning Board recommendation. <br />Gooding -Ray said that she was concerned about the last paragraph in Ms. Cox's letter where she <br />requested that the Planning staff send her updated information. <br />Benedict said that if the staff gets a request, they fax it to the person who is requesting it. <br />(4) New Hope Springs - Section 3 <br />(Chapel Hill Township - 9 Lots) <br />Eddie Kirk made the presentation. <br />PURPOSE: <br />Consideration of the Preliminary Plan for New Hope Springs Section Three Subdivision. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Re guest -.
