Hey Jay and Theresa, Permit: 2002 -0001 1456 Matthews Road, Lillington Per your request : We ( KDP Development LLC), and Property owner, Elizabeth Cannon , are requesting a change in current zoning of RA -40 to RA-30 . Due to the property layout and an area of unsuitable Septic soils, which we have to incorporate in the Lot layout, this property Better suits an RA-30 Zoning for a more reasonable and better design for a "Custom Built" residential community. We think this would enhance the property values of surrounding property and make it a more desirable area to live .

Commentary : • CTP text amendment: NCDOT's new policy is to "constr uct facilities that our communities want, need, and will use." • Require usable open/ active open space % • Provide more specific examples of usable open space • Since CTP & future Greenway Plan wi ll require improvements along some rights-of- ways, reduce the overall width of the streetscape buffer, but improve the landscaping requirement. Additional Info: Per NCDOT "The Harnett CTP is mutually adopted by the county, municipalities, CAMPO and NC Board of Transportation. The plan is endorsed by the Mid-Carolina RPO. So this is an official legal document. If the County/ Municipality's Land Development/ Zoning Code requires a developer to build recommended Bike/Ped facilities based on the adopted plan, then yes you can use the CTP as a regulatory tool."

The requirements set forth in this Section concerning the amount, size, location, and nature of open space to be provided in connection with residential d evelopments are established by the Board of County Commissioners as standards that presumptively will result in the provision of that amount of open space that is consistent with generally recognized standards relating to the need for such areas. The Board recognizes, however, that due to the particular nature of a tract of land, or the particular type or configuration of development proposed, or other factors, the underlying objectives of this Section may be achieved even though the standards are not adhered to with mathematical precision. Therefore, the Planning Board is authorized to permit minor devia tions from these standards whenever it determines that: a. The objectives underlying these standard s can be met without strict adherence to them; and b. Because of peculiarities in the developer's tract of land or the particular type or configuration of the development proposed, it would be unreasonable to require strict adherence to these standards. 2 . Whenever the Planning Board authorizes some deviation from the standards set forth in open space requirement, the official record of action taken on the development application s hall contain a detailed statement of the reasons for allowing the deviation.
