Re: Carolina Lakes Subdivision -Block T
Dear Mr. Averitte,
The above referenced subdivision received preliminary plat approval by the Harnett
County Planning Board on November 7, 2005. Any modification to the referenced plat,
such as roadway changes submitted for approval, shall require reapproval from the
Harnett County Development Review Board and full compliance with the minimum
design standards for subdivision submitted to Harnett County for approval.
During review of the referenced plat, two key design issues that were raised for concern
were street length and recreation fees. In accordance with the Harnett County
Subdivision Regulations no street cul-de-sac or dead end street shall extend over 2000
feet. By removing the loop roadway system the referenced subdivision failed to meet the
minimum requirement for street length and possibly other street requirements.
Additionally all subdivisions shall be required to set aside funds to the county whereby
the county may acquire public recreation and park land to serve the reference
development. The fund requires the developer to pay the fee prior to final plat approval
in the amount of $500.00 per lot. This fee would be applicable to the referenced
subdivision if the project is resubmitted for preliminary plat approval.
This letter addresses only the issue of streets and recreational fees and is not intended for
the purpose of a full review of the above reference subdivision. If you have additional
questions you may reach me at Jeffries ,harnett.org or [phone].
Sincerely,
Joseph Jeffries, P anning Director
