have up to a maximum of 55 townhomes and down to a maximum of 145 apartment
units.
d. The minor deviation meets the standards of Section 10.3.3.7.b, Minor Deviations. Final
written approval will be included in the TRC approval letter. Separate approval of the
minor deviation may be provided at applicant’s request.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Offstreet Loading
a. Row-style housing requires two parking spaces per unit.
b. Does each unit have its own driveway with two spaces or will these be garages
underneath?

a. A Type A: Opaque buffer is required where the site abuts residential uses.
b. Please submit a landscape plan for transitional buffers, parking lot interior landscaping,
foundation plantings for the apartment buildings, and street yard.
c. Please note that 15 trees are required to be planted per acre disturbed per UDO Section
5.4.2.B. Trees retained on site can count towards this requirement. 12.53 acres * 15 trees
= 188 trees. Per the tree retention table on page 3 of the site plan, 198 trees are being
retained. This requirement is met.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. Is any lighting proposed for this development?
b. Please note a lighting plan is not required at time of TRC approval. See below excerpt from
Section 5.5.3:

that this site no longer contains wetlands.
9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements
a. Are the below clouded areas intended as open space? If so, please label them as such.
b. I noted these are marked as such on sheet C-1 but it would be helpful for it to be marked
on all pages.
10. UDO Article 6: Subdivision Design and Improvements
a. It appears that the link to node ratio, outlined in UDO Section 6.2.2.7.g is not sufficient
for this development. Per this section, the link to node ratio shall not be less than 1.4.
Using the definitions of links and nodes as outlined in this section, I have shown the
number of each on this plan below:
b. Per my calculations, this shows 14 links and 12 nodes for a ratio of 1.17.
c. I think the issue here is the number of T-intersections and dead-ends. The roads in the
site will need to be reconfigured to achieve at least the minimum ratio.

Engineering Studies
The applicant may be required by the District Engineer to submit studies based on, but not limited to, the parameters outlined
herein. If study requirements of the local government agency are more restrictive than the NCDOT requirements, then local
government requirements will govern. However, this does not imply that the NCDOT is obligated to approve entrance designs
that are too constrictive to allow smooth and safe traffic flow. All studies including, but not limited to, Traffic Impact Analyses
(TIA), traffic signal studies, and drainage studies, must be prepared under the direct charge of and sealed by a North Carolina
licensed Professional Engineer.

General Comments:
NCDOT Driveway Permits, and Encroachments are submitted through the NCDOT
Online Portal.https://connect.ncdot.gov/municipalities/Utilities/Pages/help.aspx
Since the proposed development is within the Blue Clay Industrial Park this site does not
need a driveway permit or an encroachment agreement since there is no work taking
place inside the NCDOT Right of Way.
The Blue Clay Industrial Park should submit a driveway permit for the required
improvements per the approved TIA.
The Blue Clay Industrial Park currently does not have preliminary plan approval.
x Revised plans should be submitted to NCDOT for review.
Traffic Impact Analysis:
x Roadway improvements are required per the approved TIA for the industrial park.
x Per the approved TIA provide an internal protected stem of 125 feet measured
from the right-of-way.
