346 RIGHT-OF-WAYHAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE KANLACON OR CABARRUS COUNTY THOROUGHFARE PLANS, THE BUILDING SETBACK LINES SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE PROPOSED RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE. (IF THE RIGHT-OF-WAYHAS BEEN MODIFIED BY ANAPPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OR SUBSEQUENT NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ACTIONS, THE NEW RIGHT-OF- WAY SHALL BE USED IN CALCULATING SETBACK LINES. THIS FIFTEEN (15) FOOT LANDSCAPED ISLAND IS NOT DESIGNED AS A VISUAL BUFFER AND THUS SHALL CONTAIN A MIXTURE OF THE FOLLOWING: low level shrubs, decorative trees (miniature trees if located under major power transmission lines), and grass. The remaining open area may be used for parking and other non- structural accessory uses: however, this area will not be calculated to meet the required parking, loading or other requirements as listed in the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance and no permanent structures shall be built in the required setback area. Therefore, the developer/owner must set aside and show on the site plan the area to meet the requirements as listed in Section 5.8. IF ADDITIONS ARE PLANNED FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED ALONG THE ABOVE MENTIONED ROADWAYS, THEN THE ADDITIONS SHALL BE DETACHED FROM THE EXISTING STRUCTURES AND MEET THE DESIGNATED RIGHT-OF-WAYAND SETBACK AS LISTED IN THE KANLACON AND CABARRUS COUNTY THOROUGHFARE PLANS OR AN APPROVED RIGHT-OF-WAY DRAWING FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE COUNTY'S ZONING ORDINANCE. HOWEVER, IF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS AND SETBACK ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED ROADWAYS, THEN THE ADDITION MAY BE ATTACHED TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE(S). ANY ADDITIONS FIVE (5) PERCENT OR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AT THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THE TOZ SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM THE TOZ REQUIREMENTS. 3.11-5 Access Points: THE TERM OF ACCESS POINT(S) SHALL MEAN A POINT OF INGRESS AND/OR EGRESS WHICH MAY BE EITHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. 1. ANY LOTS OF RECORD AT THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE PERMITTED ACCESS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN APPROVED DRIVEWAY PERMIT FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. 2. ALL NEW LOTS, PARCEL(S), OR DIVISIONS OF LAND SHALL BE PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE THOROUGHFARE BY MEANS OF A SUBDIVISION STREET EITHER MAINTAINED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA OR APPROVED BY THE CABARRUS COUNTY SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, OR A DRIVEWAY APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. ACCESS POINTS SHALL BE LOCATED AT LEAST FOUR HUNDRED (400) FEET APART UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. WHERE NO MORE THAN TWO LOTS ARE CREATED WITHIN AN INTERNAL LOT IN A SINGLE BLOCK LYING WITHIN THE TOZ, A SINGLE VEHICULAR ACCESS PROVISION SHALL BE MADE FROM THE THOROUGHFARE. Mr. Henry Waldroup, Utilities Director, reviewed the Midland Water Extension project proposal to extend water service in the Troutman Road, Jim Sossamon Road, Grey Bark Road, Spring Drive and Snowcrest Drive area. This proposal included the County's paying 30 percent of the project cost and the property owners paying a cost based on an adjusted front foot charge for their property. Mr. Waldroup reported that his office had mailed letters to 95 area property owners and 42.responses had been received. Of these responses, 57 percent were against and 43 percent were for the project as proposed. Mr. Waldroup stated he had looked at various options to extend water service to various sections of the area but the estimated cost for all options would be greater than the original proposal. Therefore, he stated he had no recommendations for providing water service to that area at this time. Chairman Simmons suggested that Mr. Waldroup study the extension of water lines throughout the county and set priorities for extensions based upon the need and density of an area. By consensus, the Board authorized Chairman Simmons and Mr. Waldroup to prioritize the extension of water lines and to bring back a proposal to extend lines with available funds.
