The Zoning Officer presented a map showing the lot layout with the lot desginated as 2F on the Tax Map. The Zoning Officer stated that this lot is a part of the parcel that is adjacent to the Scotswood Dev., but that Lot 2F is not directly adjacent to it. The zoning for the site now is Agricultural -Residential and the minimum lot size requirement is 40,000 sq. ft. The proposed development is in the County's planning jurisdiction and their setbacks, which are 20 ft. for the side and rear and 40 ft. for the front would apply. The proposed subdivision will create 3 new lots with each being a little over a acre in size. There is a septic tank easement for each lot. There is a 60 ft. wide easement which runs through Green's property and connects onto Baldwin Road and goes onto the property across the power line easement. A private classy road called Meadowbrook Trail will be created which will serve Lot 1. Lots 2 and 3 will front onto ---Friendship Lane. Planning Board Minutes April 3, 1986 Page 2 Also shown on the map is a stream buffer of 30 ft. on each side of the stream which is part of Nancy Hill Creek and runs through the Scotswood Development. This property is within the 100 year floodplain and the.floodplain is not shown on the map, the stream buffer is. The Zoning Officer stated that development of any kind should be restricted in the floodway area. The Zoning Officer stated that she felt that the map should indicate that this is a floodplain and not just a stream buffer. The development will be served by wells and septic systems. A soil analysis has been done. Murphy.made.a motion,_:seconded by Culbreth, for -the approval of the subdivision with the -Planning Board's recommendation that the floodway and floodplain along Nancy Hill Creek be noted on the map. Sherry'Carter asked the Chairman why the subdivision had to come before the review of the Town Planning Board when the development does not adjoin the extra—territorial district or have either water or sewer. The Chairman stated that the possibility of annexation for this area at some time and the possibility of the closeness to the Scotswood Development could both be reasons for the review, but that the Hillsborough Planning Board had not asked to review the development. Item 4: Recommendations on proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments presented at Public Hearing on March 17, 1986. For a review of the proposed zoning ordinance amendments please see attachment in the April 21st agenda packets.

Item 8: Proposed Items for Public Hearing Scheduled for April 21. a) Wright rezoning request. The Zoning Officer's recommendation for this request is as follows: It is recommended that the property be left zoned for residential use, because the application does not fully meet the requirement of being adjacent to land zoned for commercial, industrial and office uses.
