Item 1- Courtesy Review of Preliminary Plan for Section Three of North Dixie Subdivision. Site is located at corner of Harper Street (S.R. 1395) and Dixie Avenue, north of Faucette Mill Road. The 13 acre tract is to be developed in four phases. Minimum lot size is 15,000 sq. ft. for twenty-seven lots; three lots are 10,000 sq. ft. The Zoning Officer reported that on November 19, 1984, the Town Board voted to rezone 4.69 acres of the project area to R-10 from institutional zoning. Three of the lots in the proposed subdivision are zoned R-10, with a minimum lot size of 10,000 sq. ft. Section I is a minor subdivision with three lots. Section II includes Lots 4 through 9. Sections I and II have already been approved, and are zoned R-10. Section III will create 30 new lots making a total of 39 lots for the whole project. Project Proposal: . All roads are to be paved and built to N.C. DOT standards. This includes Harper Street which runs through and connects with Dixie Avenue. Cost will be shared with DOT. All lots will have public water and sewer. The proposed water main is to be 611. The development will be done in 4 phases. Comments from the Board members were: Ashley asked how far the property was from the proposed water tower. Davis said the water tower would be in the vicinity of Mr. Walker's property. Page added that the tower would be about a mile from the project. Ashley's concern was that the water pressure would be hard to maintain given the distance to the project area. The Zoning Officer said the issue of water pressure would be addressed by the Town when final engineering plans are submitted at a later time. At this time, the Town reviews whether or not water and sewer will be made available to the site. The Zoning Officer said there was a question from Susan Smith, with the Orange County Planning Staff, if Scholar had approval to put in the side lines for the sewer. • 1) Planning Board, Special Meeting October 17, 1985 Page 2 Phase I will be all the lots fronting on Harper and Dixie Streets and will include corner Lots 11, 12 and 21. Lots 11 and 12 will have restricted access to Lower Loop Road as indicated on the map. Lots 13 and 14 will have access to Jarra Court. Lots 11 and 22 will front Willard Way. The cul-de-sacs are to be paved during Phase II. The temporary cul-de-sac on the west side of the project is to be built anticapating the construction of an outer loop which will tie in with the north section of the project. This is to be put in by Scholar. The minimum lot size is 15,000 sq. ft. except for the 3 lots in the Town's jurisdiction which are 10,000 sq. ft. Since the majority of lot 10 and lot 30 are in the County's jurisdiction, they must meet R-15 zoning requirements. The Zoning Officer said these items are to be added as conditions of approval: . The plat illustrates a typical lot layout which meets County's zoning requirements; a typical lot layout showing the Town's zoning requirements must also be given. . Plat shows a 20' minimum drainage easement; County proposes that it should be 30' instead of 20'. . A statement on the plat indicating that the preliminary utility layout is approved by the Town. A statement on the plat indicating that the minimum lot size requirement has been met for both Orange County and the Town. The right-of-way along Dixie Ave. must be shown on the plat. The dimension of the cul-de-sac on Lower Loop Road (50') is not shown. The Zoning Officer asked the Board members for comments on the submitted site plan. Page asked whether recreational facilities are to be provided. The Zoning Officer said that under R-3 zoning, recreational facilities are not required. Ashley asked about parking facilities. The Zoning Officer said there will be one parking space per lot, with one dwelling unit per lot. Page asked the price range of the houses. Brody said she thought about $40,000. The concerns of the members were as follows: If there was adequate water pressure to serve the area. Whether an official letter has been sent by the Town indicating that water and sewer are available. a Planning Board, Special Meeting October 17, 1985 Page 3 The Zoning Officer asked the members if they would like to have reports on traffic generation as they come in.
