TO:                  Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

FROM:            J. B. Culpepper, Planning Director

                        Gene Poveromo, Development Coordinator

SUBJECT:      Concept Plan: Oldham Subdivision

DATE:            October 4, 2006

Tonight, the Council considers a Concept Plan for the Oldham Subdivision.  The 39-acre site is located on the east side of U.S. 15-501 across from Cole Drive.

The development proposal involves creation of 22 single-family lots.  The applicant proposes to construct a single access road to serve the site from U.S. 15-501. All lots are proposed to be served by individual wells and septic systems. The site is located in the Residential-Low Density-1 (R-LD1) zoning district and the Resource Conservation District. The site is outside the Town limits and the Urban Services Area. A portion of the site is located in the Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Area and a portion is in the Chapel Hill/Orange County Joint Planning Transition Area. In accordance with the Land Use Management Ordinance, there has been no staff review of the Concept Plan.

We recommend that the Council review this Concept Plan, receive comments from the Community Design Commission and citizens, and adopt a resolution transmitting comments to the applicant.

The attached memorandum for the Concept Plan proposal includes background information on the Concept Plan process, the applicant’s materials, and additional related information.
