LOCATION: 762 Pope Lake Road Angier, NC 27501 ZONING: RA-30 & Conservation ACREAGE: 12.74 PIN# 0692-39-3045.000 LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: Agricultural & Environmentally Sensitive Areas REQUEST: The applicant has appealed the Administrator’s decision that the placement and construction of an access driveway in a Conservation district is allowed due to the inability to restrict access to personal property. AERIAL:     PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS A. Site: Currently under construction for mixed residential development. B. Surrounding Land Uses: Single Family Residential / Agricultural / Undeveloped Forestry C. Utilities: Water – Public Sewer – Public BACKGROUND: May 2024 a code case was created due to a citizen complaint in reference to development without permits. August 2024 another code case was created due to a citizen complaint in reference to development without permits. NC Department of Environmental Quality approved a permit for land disturbance of 0.18 acres to construct the driveway/ access road. US Army Corps of Engineers approved a permit for the dam repairs/ improvements. US Army Corps of Engineers approved a permit for the new driveway access road. After several site visits, Development Services staff and the County’s Sr Staff Attorney met to discuss this situation. Since the State as well as the USACE approved this access, it was then determined that a driveway was not considered ‘development’ from the County’s perspective and Conservation zoning violation did not exist. A Floodplain permit was required due to the disturbance, as similar to the DEQ permit. That was applied for and granted. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE REGULATIONS ARTICLE IV. ZONING & OVERLAY DISTRICTS SECTION 11.0 CONSERVATION - CONS 11.1 Purpose The purpose of the Conservation District is to encourage the preservation of and continued use of the land for conservation purposes in its natural state, and to prohibit intrusive development of the land in areas with alluvial soils, perennial streams, or that are subject to flooding or considered wetland.
