Dear Ms. Wolf,
In regular session on September 26, 2007, the County's Technical Review Committee (TRC)
voted 3-0 to approve River Side Subdivision for a total of 160 residential lots as displayed on your
revised preliminary site plan. 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 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. Road stubs displayed on the site plan will be constructed prior to final plat approval.
5. The TRC granted your request to have private roads (for public use) within the project.
Attending the TRC meeting were TRC Chairman David Adams (Planning Board), Sam Burgess
(Planning Staff), Jim Iannucci (County Engineering), and Ray Griswold (Fire Services). Also, attending
the meeting were Sharon Huffman (County Legal), Bobby Harris (Planning Staff), Vernon Weedon
(School System), Matt Murphy (developer), and you.
River Side 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,
Bobby Harris
