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 .
Thanks, Phil Stephenson

Reason for Requested Change:
VII Section:
2.1, 8.1,
8.2,9.3
To amend Harnett County's U.D.O. where it pertains to bicycle & pedestrian facilities, active/ usable
open space, and buffering.
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."

1. Is not encumbered with any structure unless such strucrure is intended for recreational open space purposes;
2. Is not contained within street right(s)-of-way or otherwise devoted to use as a roadway, ingress/egress easement,
or parking area not associated with the use of the open space;

trails for walking or jogging) or, if not wooded at the time of development, is landscaped for ballfields, picnic
areas, play areas, or similar recreational open space facilitie s, or is properly vegetated and landscape d with the
objective of creating a wooded area or other area that is consistent with the objective set forth in;
4. I s capable of being used and enjoyed for purposes of informal and unstrucrured recreation and relaxation;

space.
E. Flexibility in Administration Authorized
1. 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.

D. This dedication of open space shall count towards any other open space requirements.

for the new development.
