Dear Ms. Wolf,
In regular session on May 21, 2008, the County's Technical Review Committee (TRC) voted 4-0
to approve Riverside Subdivision for a total of 238 lots as displayed on the preliminary site plan
submitted on May 14, 2008. Preliminary site plan approval of the project comes with the following
requirements:
1. With the size of the project directly impacting the County's water supply system, your client will
be responsible for increasing capacity to the system. Details concerning the increase capacity will
need to be worked out with the County Fire Services and Engineering staff. County sewer
availability will be limited to 40 lots per final plat or per County Engineering criteria.
2. The entrance to the project beginning at the T intersection of Castle Hayne Road and North Kerr
Avenue and extending west into the project will be dedicated, platted, and constructed as a 60'
right of way. This segment of the road will also be designated as a "public" road.
3. All TIA requirements embraced by NCDOT and the City/County MPO will be constructed. A
completed and approved NCDOT Driveway permit will need to be submitted prior to final plat
approval.
4. A road stub will be created between lots 88 & 89.
5. The TRC granted your request to have private roads (for public use) within the project.
6. No gates, speed bumps, on street parking or obstructions will be allowed on the private roads.
Attending the TRC meeting were TRC Chairman David Adams (Planning Board), Sam Burgess
(Planning Staff), Jim Iannucci (County Engineering), Anthony Printz (WMPO) and Matt Davis (Fire
Services). Also, attending the meeting were Bobby Harris, Jane Daughtridge, and Shawn Ralston
(Planning Staff), Matt Murphy, (SECOF) and you.
Riverside Subdivision will be valid as a preliminary site plan for two years. If final plats are not
submitted within the 24-month time limit, the plat must be resubmitted as a preliminary plan in
accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance. Otherwise, the preliminary plan approval shall become
void. A preliminary plan extension may be granted by the TRC for 12 months prior to expiration. The
TRC may grant up to a maximum of two one-year extensions. In the future, County sewer may serve
this project. However, due to the limited capacity of the County's wastewater treatment facilities, sewer
capacity may not exist. DEHNR wastewater sewer construction and operations permits and/or final plat
approval of sections may be withheld, if in the opinion of the County Engineer, adequate sewer capacity
does not exist. Please also be advised that all other local, State and Federal regulations will be
applicable.
As you know, final plat approval for all or a part of the project cannot be obtained until
construction plan drawings are submitted and approved by County Engineering staff. There were no
significant 24" trees located in the right-of-way.
Please remit 5 copies of the revised site plan for TRC Chairman Signature. Contact me if you
have any questions at 798-7443.
Sincerely,
Z
