REQUEST & DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The applicant requests a 718’ variance to the U.D.O Article VII,
Section 2.10.1 where it states that no permanent dead-end street shall exceed 2,500 feet in length.
Stone Cross Section III, was originally approved in December 2013, with a connecting,
thru road. However, due to environmental concerns, as well as guidance from NCDOT their main collector street will now end in a
cul-de-sac.
Stone Chase Wy exceeds the 2,500’ max just
into Ph4.
In August 2007, a 2,200’ street length variance for was approved for Section II, Phase 2 of this development.

Article XII, SECTION 5.2 Subdivision Variance Procedures
The Planning Board may vary from the design standards and improvements required by this
Ordinance, after finding that the following conditions exist:
A. There are extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to the particular piece of property in question because
of its size, shape, or topography that are not applicable to other lands or structures.
B. Granting the variance requested will not confer upon the subdivider any special privileges
that are denied to others.
C. A literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the subdivider of rights commonly enjoyed by others.
D. The requested variance
will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or to the general welfare.
E. The special circumstances are not the result
of the actions of the subdivider.
F. The variance requested is the minimum needed.
G. The burden of producing substantial evidence to support the required findings by the Planning Board
is clearly upon the applicant. The Planning Board shall deny any request for a variance that is not directly supported by substantial and credible evidence.
H. Land uses on adjoining
property may be considered by the Planning Board during its deliberation. However ownership of any adjoining property by direct lineal descendants or direct lineal ascendants of the
applicant or subdivider shall not be considered by the Planning Board.
The Planning Board may attach to the granting of such a variance any conditions necessary to insure that the purpose
and intent of this Ordinance is not compromised.
