2 floodplain] on the portion of the tract offered for dedication to the County. Also, pine trees are located on the western side of the tract adjoining Old NC 86. The topography is gently rolling with minimal rock outcrop area in buffer along New Hope Church Road. Adjacent Land Use • South across New Hope Church Road are 3 larger subdivided lots, which are 3.53 ac., 3.71 ac., and 4.9 acres in size. • To the north and the east are single-family residential lots approved as minor subdivisions. Lots to the north average 4.07 acres in size and lots to the east average 2.06 acres in size. • West across Old NC 86 is a large tract (78.77 acres) of undeveloped property. Proposed Roads • Access is from New Hope Church Road (SR 1723), an existing paved public road. • A proposed, public 575-foot cul-de-sac, built to NCDOT standards, will provide access to the subdivision. Connectivity to the north across New Hope Creek or to the east is not feasible due to existing recorded subdivisions to the north and east. • An additional 20 feet of right-of-way along Old NC 86 frontage will be dedicated. • An additional 5 feet of right-of-way along New Hope Church Road frontage will be dedicated. • NCDOT comments indicate the roads must provide a public right-of-way and meet all other NCDOT requirements prior to addition for State maintenance. The developer will submit road construction plans to be approved by NCDOT prior to recordation of the final plat. This adequately addresses NCDOT questions in attachment 5. • This subdivision is adjacent to the newly designated NC Scenic Byway corridor, which is along this section of Old NC 86. There is a 100-foot building setback including accessory structures, provided along Old NC 86, the eastern property line and along New Hope Church Road. Open Space/Buffers • ERCD and Parks and Recreation recommend that the 20.99 acres of common area open space (i.e. lot 10) be dedicated to Orange County. Only 9/20 acres is required. Until a determination of the future use of the land (i.e. nature preserve or part of a trail system) is agreed upon, ERCD will monitor the site. • Easement areas for signage and lot buffers will be retained and placed into a Homeowner's Association. • A Homeowner's Association will be formed to maintain the common areas and amenities which are not to be dedicated to Orange County (i.e. buffers, signage, and lights, if proposed). Water-Sewer • Individual wells • Individual septic systems • Extension of water and sewer is prohibited in the Rural Buffer, except for a public purpose or to address a health situation. Parks and Recreation • Chapel Hill District Park o The Parks and Recreation Advisory Council recommends: • that the County accept the 20.99 acres dedication as shown on the Conventional Plan; ^ that the developer provide for access to the open space at the end of the cul-de- sac for neighborhood residents only. No public access allowed at this point;
