PLANNING STAFF REPORT TO CABARRUS COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Tuesday, January 19, 1999 StaffUs¢ Only: Apprt)vcd: Denied: Tabled: 4. Comparison of ADM and capacity (will be distributed at meeting). 5. Subdiv/sion Inventory - Unplatted (not recorded) lots. 6. Board of Commissioners and Highland Creek Settlement. Street Analysis: Harris Road is the existing public R/W that will provide the primary access to his subdivision. Masters Drive and Bryan's Green Drive will be new 50' public R/W's intersecting with Hams Road and will serve as the Cabarrus County entrances to the inner lots. The remaining streets will be new 40' or 50' public R/W's serving smaller sections of the development. Adequate Public Facilities Comments: Note: The following comments were submitted by the referenced dei~artments/agencies and pertain to whether or not the services/facilities that each department provides are adequate to meet the demands of the proposed development. A preliminary OK from the following departments/agencies should in no way be construed as final approval for a service or facility. Water/Wastewater Provider: City of Concord Engineering, Andy Lovingood CMUD is providing water service to this development. The issues of whether CMUD or WSACC specifications will be used for the water and sewer infrastructure and customer billing problems will need to be worked out among the City of Concord, WSACC, and CMUD before the City of Concord will grant approval. Emergency Services: Dennis Mauney and Greg Walters Some of the road widths appear to be narrow. In the past, 40' roads have been difficult for emergency vehicles to navigate with cars parked on the street and cul-de-sacs have proved to be a problem for fire apparatus trying to turn around. 50' cul-de-sacs would allow emergency vehicles to turn around without stopping. The multi-family units will pose a significant problem when fighting fires if the water mains aren't at least 8" in diameter. Typically, water mains are more useful if they are looped instead of stopping at a dead end. Recommend establishing as much side yard separation as possible between units. As the spacing between units is increased, the ability of firefighters to access all sides of the units and minimize damage also increases. Recommend extending Sarazen Court to Firestone Lane to permit emergency vehicles to maneuver around each other. Cul-de-sacs make this difficult. Page 2 of 4 Wallace Fm~m Property Preliminary Plat
