This request is for 2361 homes (al little over 2 units per acre). He reviewed the benefits of the proposed conditional rezoning stating that it commits them as the developer to standards that gol beyond thel base ordinance requirements which requires input from the community and Town; over half of the property is reserved for open space with multiple pocket parks, amenity center with aj pool to be built by the 136th home and a quarter mile greenway trail. In addition to a 25' buffer around thej perimeter, on the west side ofthej property thel homes are setback even: further to create more ofa buffer from adjacent properties.

They were advised that the Westmoreland bridge is inspected on a regular basis and isi found to be structurally sound, therefore it was given a rand of"A" with noj plans to repair or replace the bridge. NCDOT stated that replacing the bridge would be a convenience item and not a congestion or safety issue. Resulting from continued discussions between the developer, the Town and NCDOT regarding the bridge and possible solutions; itwas concluded that there are additional safety measures that NCDOT would be open to such as flashing beacons or suspended warning lights therefore, as a show of good faith in helping to address concerns they are committed to providing the Town with $100,000 toward current and future safety enhancements along Westmoreland and Houston Roads. Mr. Hughes concluded by summarizing that they have been respectful oft the adopted Land Use Plan; the proposed development is comparable to recently approved subdivisions; have been sensitive to site characteristics, committed to traffic improvements and efficient use oft the Town'sinfastructure.
