APPLICANT’S JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT

In order to subdivide property, Cary utilities are needed. Rezoning to Residential 12 (R-12) would allow for public utilities and for the property to be developed into single family residential lots under the same category as subdivisions to the south and east.  This rezoning would allow for a continuation of annexation of property adjoining existing city limits under the existing designated land use plan of low density residential.

 

PROPOSED ZONING CONDITIONS

Density is not to exceed 2.3 units per acre.

PLANNING

Comprehensive Plan Analysis

Open Space Considerations

There are no natural or historic resources located on the site, based on the Town’s Open Space and Historic Resource Plan.

Parks and Greenways

There are no park or greenways proposed for this site based on the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Master Plan. A payment-in-lieu of park land dedication will be required for residential development.

Transportation Planning

This location is within the C-Tran service area. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires a 3-lane section for Reedy Creek Road (one lane in each direction with a continuous center turn lane).  Sidewalk is required on both sides of Reedy Creek Road .  Outside lanes 14’ wide are required on Reedy Creek Road to accommodate bicycles.

Current Enrollment and Building Capacity are based on the 20th day of the school year for 2003 as supplied by the Wake County Public School System.  School assignment will be determined at the time of development.

The Projected Number of Additional Students is only a rough approximation.  The actual number of students will vary depending on several variables, such as dwelling unity type, number of bedrooms, dwelling size, and other factors.  A more definitive estimation will be done at the time of site plan submittal, which is when the applicant is required to secure a Certificate of Adequate Educational Facilities from the Wake County School System.

 

ENGINEERING

Environmental Considerations

The project will be required to meet the nitrogen requirements of the Town of Cary .

Utilities (Water and Sewer)

 This property has direct access to Town of Cary ’s public water distribution system via the 8” waterline along Reedy Creek Road . Off-site sewer easement acquisition from adjacent properties south of the development will be required for sanitary sewer connection. 

Traffic Impact Analysis

The development of 11 dwelling units will not require a traffic impact study because is does not generate more that 100 peak hour trips as defined by the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance
