REZONING CONDITIONS:

 

1.   Development should be limited to a maximum of ninety-one (91) residential dwelling units.

2.   Uses shall be limited to single-family detached dwellings, recreation (indoor and outdoor), open space and greenways

3.   Minimum lot size for residential dwelling units shall be 8500 square feet. The average lot size for residential lots shall   be 11,500 square feet.

4.   Front and rear setbacks shall be a minimum of 20 feet with an aggregate front and rear of 40 feet. The minimum lot depth shall be 120 feet and the minimum lot width shall be 65 feet.

5.   A recreation facility (with pool and cabanna) shall be provided prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the 69th single-family dwelling unit. This facility shall be located in the general area indicated on Exhibit A.

6.   At least one traffic-calming device (to meet Town of Cary’s guidelines) shall be provided within the proposed development. The device will generally follow similar devices being provided within the Weatherstone subdivision.

7.   A minimum of twenty-five (25%) percent open space (public or private) shall be provided throughout the development. The majority of this open space shall be concentrated along the streams and periphery of the site.

8.   A twenty (20') foot wide undisturbed buffer shall be provided along the adjacent  Weatherstone Subdivision (see Exhibits A, B and C). 

9.   A five (5') foot wide supplemental planted buffer shall be provided in addition to the 20' buffer above (see Exhibits A, B and C).    

10. Development shall be consistent with the submitted Zoning Exhibits A, B and C.  Changes to this sketch plan shall only be allowed as indicated therein.

11. The public street stub connection to Spring Bud Drive shall be constructed in conjunction with the phased development of lots 1-12 and 91 (illustrated on Exhibit A).  If the construction of this street stub connection occurs prior to the 75th Certificate of Occupancy, the connection shall be barricaded in a manner that allows emergency vehicle access, but expressly prohibits both construction traffic and traffic by residents.  Upon construction of the road and issuance of the 75th Certificate of Occupancy, this barricade shall be lifted for full public vehicular access. 

12. Additional landscaping within Weatherstones adjacent open space shall be provided by the developer.  This area is further defined on Exhibit B. 

13. Grading for this development shall not reverse the existing drainage patterns off-site.  Off-site drainage patterns will be generally directed to flow through the identified streams within the interior of the site.  Exclusive of road crossings and required utility connections, the outer zone of all stream buffers indicated on the plan shall remain undisturbed (except for the removal of noxious or diseased materials). 

14. The site shall not be completely denuded or graded.  The initial grading and clearing shall be limited to the roads (rights-of-way and easements), front yards, side yards and building envelopes.  Selective clearing and grading in rear lot setback areas and open space will occur as lots are developed and on a selective basis. 

15. Exclusive of required stormdrains, required public utilities and removal of  noxious or diseased materials, the open space (containing an area of steep slopes greater than 15%) to the rear of lots 44-52 (as indicated on Exhibit A) shall remain undisturbed.

16. Pending full reimbursement (including all fees, permits, design and construction costs minus a contribution by the developer in the amount of $15,000), the developer shall design and construct a public street that connects the proposed Street Stub G (see Exhibit A) to the existing Maynard Crossing Court.  The Town shall be responsible for obtaining the necessary right-of-way or easements necessary to make this vehicular connection across the adjacent vacant lot.  The Town will also assist the developer with the necessary access to the property to conduct survey work for the road extension.  The Town shall obtain right of way within 1 year of the developer providing approved design documents needed to obtain right of way. Developer shall provide approved right of way documents prior to the 20th  C.O.  Once the right-of-way area is obtained, the developer shall construct this street within six (6) months of all the required Town permits and approvals and any other municipal approvals necessary for the construction of the vehicular connection.  The developer shall be relieved of any obligation to make this vehicular connection if either:  

1)    A re-zoning, site plan or subdivision plan is filed on the adjacent vacant site; or

2)  The Town fails to acquire the necessary right-of-way
