ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Harnett County Board of Commissioner Meeting of June 4, 1979, duly adjourned at 10:15 a.m. Secretary an UBLIC REARING REGARDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE HARNETT OUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE The Harnett County Board of Commissioners met on Monday, June 11, 1979, at 7:30 p.m. in the Commissioners Room, County Office Building, Lillington, North Carolina, for the purpose of a Public Hearing for a proposed amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance of Harnett County. Those present were: Chairman Jesse Alphin, M. H. Brock, Lloyd G. Stewart, W. A. Shaw, Jr., Rudy Collins and County Attorney, Ed McCormick. PRAYER Chairman Alphin called the meeting to order and Commissioner-'Shaw offered the evening prayer. PURPOSE Chairman Alphin opened.' the meeting and stated the purpose: a Public Hearing for an amendment to the Harnett County Subdivision Ordinance. BOBBY BRYAN Chairman Alphin recognized Attorney Bobby Bryan who spoke on behalf of the developers of Carolina Lakes, a Planned Unit Deve- lopment located in western Harnett near Buffalo Lake in Barbecue Township, This proposed development includes a total site acreag of 1,074 acres. Mr. Bryan stated that basically the amendment would allow a subdivision in a Planned Unit Development which is 329 not now allowed under the present county ordinance. It will allo a prospective developer to present a unit package of development, a self- contained, self - controlled unit wnen exceptions would be allowed to the general county ordinance. It would allow the Harnett County Planning Board to approve any Planned Unit Develop ment which they deem appropriate and which meets the requirements of common areas, and other requirements under the PUD ordinance. Under a Planned Unit Development, certain requirements of the ordinance cannot be met under a PUD unit, such as, cul de sacs are limited in scope and size and are not appropriate in a PUD. PUDs have longer cul de sacs. Lot front sizes are a minimum of less than under the county ordinance. Town houses are not now allowed under county ordinance. Under PUD, approval could be given for town houses by the Harnett County Planning Board. Figures on this particular site were given by Mr. Bryan and include: 1,074 total acres; Phase I development includes 354 acres which has a golf course of 120 acres (34 %); lakes of 43 acres (12 %); site amenity easements 17 acres (5%) and single family lotting of 174 acres (49%) . Mr. Bryan asked that the Board of Commissioners allow the Harnett County Planning Board to approve, under a PUD Amendment, in order to allow exceptions to the general County Ordinance which does no suit a Planned Unit Development. He stated that Planned Unit Developments are exceptions and addendums to ordinances throughou the state and that Lee County and Raleigh have adopted such Plan- ned Unit Development Amendments to take care of self- contained, ail inclusive development. He added that this act would be a great asset to Harnett County. TONY TUCKER Mr. Tony Tucker of the Harnett County Planning and Development stated that the Planning Board had recommended adoption of the PUD Amendment to the Board of Commissioners. He stated that this amendment gives flexibility to some ares which we have not had before and by no means weakens the overall intent of quality development; and, in this case, it strengthens the ordinance. As the ordinance stand now, it does not allow for developments such as Keith Hills or Carolina Tract. This amendment gives the Count leeway for quality development within Harnett County. COMMISSIONER SHAW Commissioner Shaw directed a question as to the requiring of a bond to Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker stated that in the case of the Carolina Lakes development that he had discussed some type of guarantee with the President of Carolina Tract and that he was aware that a financial statement of the company would be necessar to establish a sufficient guarantee; otherwise a bond would be required. It was pointed out that under the general ordinance a guarantee, acceptable to the Board, was allowed in lieu of a bond ACTION There was no opposition to the amendment, and upon motion by Commissioner Stewart, seconded by Commissioner Shaw, the follow- ing Planned Unit Development Amendment to the Harnett County Subdivision Ordinance was approved: PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS GROUP DEVELOPMENTS 1.
