3 PROPOSAL Conventional Residential Major Subdivision • Total subdivision contains 73.47 acres. • Average lot size is 2.22 acres. • At the concept plan stage, the plan contained 88 acres, which are a replat of Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 of the Bramco Trading Corp. subdivision, recorded on January 25, 1982. • A recombination plat of these five lots and a 15.4-acre, one lot exempt subdivision was recorded on February 1, 2008. The new exempt subdivision lot created will be conveyed to the Eno River Association by the current owner with the intent of transferring the property into State ownership as part of the Eno River State Park. It is not part of this subdivision and not considered when subdivision open space is calculated. • Using the Conventional Plan Option, the applicant is proposing a 20-lot subdivision (a 3.67 acre density). This alternative has all the attributes of a Conservation Cluster Flexible Design Option, except for the 100-foot perimeter buffer. (The Preliminary Plat proposes a variable width perimeter buffer.) • The subdivision will require the dedication of 4.10 acres for public road r.o.w. • 24.46 acres in private open space (33.29% of the total subdivision area) will be deeded, fee-simple, to and owned by the subdivision homeowners association. This figure includes the 4.73-acre Tract "A" that will be donated as public recreation land. • Planning staff took extra time during Concept Plan stage to discuss and resolve issues of connectivity, voluntary parkland dedication, density, and lots of record, as these issues may affect lot counts and the appropriate type of preliminary plat application. The result of this deliberation resulted in a 20-lot conventional option preliminary plat. Roads: • Access to the subdivision is from a proposed 2,610-foot long cul-de-sac, River Stone Road, and a 735-foot cul-de-sac, Running Cedar Lane, off of Cabe Ford Road (SR1570), a paved, state-maintained road in Eno Township. • Each public road will have afifty-foot (50') wide right-of-way with twenty- (20) foot temporary construction easements on both sides of the road. • Stub-out, platted, public rights-of-way are proposed to the east between Lots 2 and 3 and to the north through Open Space Tract "C". • The low redevelopment potential to the south and the state parklands to the west do not make future road extensions feasible or advisable. • All roads shall be constructed to NCDOT (and County) standards. Open Space/Buffers: • The developer is proposing 33.29% (24.46 acres) of the subdivision be in common open space, even though the proposal is a conventional subdivision. The 24.46 acres do not include the 15.40 acres split off after Concept Plan approval that will eventually be part of the Eno River State Park, but it does include a 4.73-acre (Tract "A"), which will be dedicated as public recreation land. Tract "A" will be conveyed to the County by the developer for eventual inclusion into the Eno River State Park. The current proposal is for Tract "A" to first be dedicated to the County by the developer contemporaneously with the recording of the final plat. Subsequent to this . conveyance the County will convey Tract "A" to the Eno River Association.
