bl <br />To Public Hearing <br />A. Sewer Lines <br />1. The County Engineer shall approve sewer line construction drawings, <br />including stubbed out service lines to each lot, prior to any clearing or grading <br />on the site. No sewer lines shall be placed underneath paved or concreted <br />areas with the exception of perpendicular crossings. <br />2. The owner/developer shall install, to Orange County specifications, eight-inch <br />(8") sewer lines within the project. All construction and testing shall be <br />certified to the State by the engineer of record as completed with copies of <br />the certification to be provided to the Orange County Engineer and Planning <br />Department prior to Planning signatures on the final plat. <br />OR <br />A letter of credit or escrow agreement shall be submitted and approved by the <br />County Attorney to secure construction of the sewer lines to the standards of <br />Orange County. An estimate of the construction cost shall be prepared by a <br />certified/licensed engineer and submitted to the Planning and Inspections <br />Department. The financial guarantee must reflect 110% of that estimate and <br />be issued by an accredited financial institution licensed to do business in <br />North Carolina. <br />3. If the security option as set forth in number 2 above is chosen, no certificate <br />of occupancy for any dwelling shall be issued until all sewer line construction <br />and testing are completed with certification sent to the State by the engineer <br />of record. Copies of the engineer's certification shall be provided to the <br />County Engineer and to the Planning Department prior to release of any <br />certificate of occupancy. <br />4. Signed encroachment agreements, if required by NCDOT, shall be executed <br />for all sewer lines that are placed within public right-of-ways. Copies of <br />signed encroachment documents shall be provided to the Planning <br />Department and the County Engineer prior to Planning signatures on the final <br />plat. <br />5. Show on the final plat, twenty-foot (20') permanent sewer line easements <br />centered on all County-maintained sewer lines located outside of the NCDOT <br />right-of-way. These easement areas shall remain free of structures, fences, <br />and landscape plantings. <br />6. Sewer lines shall be designed in such a manner to allow gravity flow <br />extensions to adjacent property rather than through the use of pump stations. <br />7. An Orange County Acreage Fee (recorded lot area acreage only), currently <br />set at $1000 per acre, shall be paid at the time the final plat is submitted for <br />planning signatures. The acreage fee is subject to change and, based on the <br />acreage shown for the proposed 45 lots (approx. 6.25 acres), the total <br />acreage fee will be approximately $6,250. <br />8. An Orange County Flat Fee of $600 per unit shall be paid at the time building <br />permit applications are submitted for review and approval. <br />
