Lot Layout and Lot Standards The property is located within Foxfyre Estates and is bordered by McCulley Road on the west,Wolverton Place on the south, and on the east by Chippewa Third Addition. The Painters Creek development exists across the Luce Line to the south. According to the RR-1A Zoning District standards, each of the lots must contain 5.0 dry acres and meet a 300' width requirement at the road or the 100-foot principal building setback. ' Based on the revised survey and information,the proposed lots lay out as follows: Proposed TractA: The subdivision will result in ±677 feet of frontage along Wolverton Place for Tract A. There are a total of 1,970 square feet of jurisdictional wetlands on the property. A 0.045 acre Manage 2 wetland is situated along the northern property line. As proposed, and until modified by the MCWD, the property is will have 5.00± acres dry, buildable land. Potentially, all of the required RR-1A district lot line setbacks can be met. � Proposed Tract 8: This lot is proposed with ±474 feet of frontage along Wolverton Place, contains 5.05± dry acres in area as well as the existing home. The existing home on the property is proposed to remain at this time. The access to Tract B is currently via the existing driveway which cuts through proposed Tract A. The applicants have shown a proposed driveway to be built entirely on the Tract B property. All required RR-1A setbacks are currently and can reasonably be met if this lot is redeveloped with a new home.
