6-7-2012-JUNE-JULY 2012 TRC REPORTJUNE & JULY, 2012 TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
The County’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) met once in June and July. Two performance site plans
were reviewed along with a request to extend the validity period of an Exceptional Design Zoning
District (EDZD).
Shields Place
Shields Place is located near the 7000 block of Springer Road (near eastern end Murrayville Road) and is
classified as Urban on the County’s 2006 Land Use Plan. The Urban classification provides for the
continued intensive development of land based on the availability of public infrastructure.
The developer for the project requested TRC to consider preliminary performance approval of a nine (9)
lot division on 3.54 acres of real estate. As noted on the site plan, access to the project will be through a
platted road stub off Springer Road. The road serving the project has been designated for “public” use.
Public water and sewer capacity is available.
In a vote of 5‐0, the TRC approved Shields Place for nine lots with the following conditions:
1) Stormwater authorization needs to be revised through County Engineering staff,
2) A NCDOT Driveway Permit and construction plan drawings will need to be submitted for review
and approval prior to the submission of a final plat and,
3) Fire hydrant installation will need to be reviewed by County Fire Services.
Tarin Woods
Tarin Woods is located near the 6200 block of Myrtle Grove Road, adjacent and south of Sentry Oaks
subdivision and is classified as Transition on the County’s 2006 Land Use Plan. The Transition
classification provides for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be
provided with necessary urban services.
Tarin Woods was originally approved as a preliminary performance project for 130 lots in October, 2005.
Under new ownership, the developer requested TRC to consider several road design adjustments to the
original plan to mitigate several creek crossings.
In a vote of 5‐0, the TRC approved the road design adjustments with the following conditions:
1) Useable “active” recreational space will need to be displayed on the plan.
2) All road stubs will be constructed along with the connection to Ambleside Drive prior to final
plat approval.
3) A letter from the Corps of Engineers delineating 404 wetlands will be required prior to final plat
approval.
4) The TIA that was crafted in 2005 will need to be revised and approved by NCDOT and the WMPO
prior to final plat approval.
5) The storm water and erosion control permits will need to be revised through County
Engineering.
6) A revision to the NCDOT Driveway Permit and road construction plan drawings will need to be
revised (streets have been designated for public use).
7) Five foot sidewalks will be required.
8) No gates, parking, or any other obstructions will be allowed on the streets. A note will need to
be added to the plan reflecting this language.
Middle Sound Village
Middle Sound Village is located near the 600 block of Middle Sound Loop Road and is classified as
Watershed Resource Protection on the County’s 2006 Land Use Plan. Wilshire Management Group
requested that the validity period of the Exceptional Design Zoning District (EDZD) approved in August,
2010 (47 townhomes on 9.93 acres) be extended for a period of eighteen (18) months in accordance
with Section 53.6‐11 of the County Zoning Ordinance. EDZD’s are valid for a period of two years.
In a vote of 5‐0, the TRC extended the validity period of Middle Sound Village for eighteen (18) months.
