3:30 P.M., OCTOBER 4, 2000

ROOM 700, WAKE COUNTY COURTHOUSE

316 FAYETTEVILLE STREET MALL

RALEIGH, NC

1. Call to Order: Chair

2. Petitions and Amendments - Chair [This is where Board members, staff, or persons attending the meeting may submit or present written or oral requests unrelated to items on the agenda, including requests to amend the agenda to add or re-order items. A new item involving substantive matters of potential public interest may be added to the agenda only for purposes of referring it to the staff or a committee or scheduling it for consideration at a later meeting.]

3. Consent Agenda - Chair [These are items proposed to be approved by unanimous consent - without discussion, and in accord with a submitted recommendation. They are limited to preliminary subdivision plans recommended for approval by the Subdivision Administrator and not involving a variance, and items where a Planning Board committee unanimously recommends approval and concurs with the staff recommendation. If any Board member objects to unanimous consent approval of any item below (whether because of disagreement with the recommendation or a wish to discuss the matter further), the Chair will declare the item removed to an appropriate place on the agenda for separate discussion.]

a. [S-43-00] Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Rockhurst:

Database 'Land Use Discussion', View 'By Author', Document 'Rockhurst cluster, S-43-00'

Proposal to subdivide a 17.3 acre parcel, zoned R-30, situated on the east side of Rock Service Station Road (SR 2736) between N.C. Highway 42 and the Johnston County Line, into 19 lots in a cluster subdivision. PIN 1606.02-96-8524 - recommended for approval as submitted.

4. Preliminary Subdivision Plans (including associated variances) - [These are applications for approval of preliminary plans for the division of land into lots, which are reviewed for compliance with standards set forth in the County's Subdivision Ordinance. If the plan complies with all applicable standards, the Board must approve it; if not, the Board must either deny it or approve it with conditions specifying actions that will ensure such compliance. These applications may be accompanied by applications for hardship variances from the Subdivision Ordinance's standards, which must be decided before review of the preliminary subdivision plan. The Planning Board may grant a variance only after it hears evidence as to hardships due to the land or parcel, makes findings of fact supported by the presented evidence, and, based on those findings of fact, concludes that: (a) strict application of the relevant standard would prohibit subdivision of the parcel in accord with the spirit and intent of the Subdivision Ordinance because of extraordinary circumstances peculiar to the parcel; (b) the variance is necessary to avoid extraordinary and unnecessary hardship; and (c) the variance will not result in detriment to the public interest or violate the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant bears the burden of presenting sufficient evidence to allow the Board to make findings of fact and reach the required conclusions.]

a. [S-38-00] Hardship Variance and Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Bishop Pointe (Cluster): Request hardship variance from the Subdivision Ordinance 1000-foot maximum cul-de-sac length requirement and proposal to subdivide a 41.60 acre parcel, zoned CU R-20, situated northeast of Smithfield Road between Poole Road and the proposed East Wake Expressway, into 90 lots.
