LOCATION The site is located at the southern terminus of Z-Max Boulevard extending south from NC Hwy. 49 in Harrisburg, NC, just 2.5 miles east of the I-485 and NC-49 interchange. The site is also accessible from the southern terminus of Cedar Drive which also extends south from NC Hwy. 49. Z-Max Rd. provides access on the eastern edge of the subject while Cedar Drive accesses the western portion of the site. ZONING The portion of the site to the north of the railroad is zoned Light Industrial (I-1) by the Town of Harrisburg. This designation was designed to establish areas that contain a mix of light manufacturing uses, office park, and limited retail / service uses that enhance the industrial uses in an attractive business park setting with proper screening and buffering. Conversely, the portion to the south of the railroad track is zoned Rural Estate (RE) also by the Town of Harrisburg. This zoning district was established to provide low density single family housing with a maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre. This district is commonly used as a buffer between conflicting uses. CEDAR DR / Z-MAX BLVD THOROUGHFARE Noteworthy is a recorded plat on file with Cabarrus County recorded in bk60-pg28 pertaining to Parcel 1 (PIN 5507-23-4930). Note 8 on the plat states that future development of this tract is subject to the dedication of a road right of way for public use no more than 60 feet in width across the tract for which the right of way is intended to be an extension of Z-Max Blvd. Essentially, the town anticipated a large scale development of the property that would potentially connect to the adjacent Town owned park, which, is easterly adjacent. In order to alleviate traffic concerns or improve access, the Town imposed the requirement that the developer of this site plan to dedicate right of way for future a Z-Max road extension. While this remains a requirement as long as this plat remains in place, it is understood a developer would simply need to re-record once a new plan is identified to amend/modify this requirement. REAL ESTATE TAXES Below is a chart showing the tax information for the 3 parcels. All three parcels of the subject are currently undergoing a property assessment appeal and therefore the noted 2011 tax bill above reflects an assessment likely to decrease assuming a successful appeal. Real estate taxes for 2011 have been paid and are current. PIN Tax Assessment Acreage Assessment/Acre 2011 Tax Bill 5507-23-4930 $1,473,372 32.12 $45,870 $9,282.25 5507-34-6087 $662,234 21.28 $31,117 $4,172.08 5507-44-3477 $1,053,000 19.50 $54,003 $6,633.90 Total $3,188,606 72.90 $43,738 $20,088 4
UTILITIES According to the Town of Harrisburg s planning department water is located under Z-Max Blvd with ample capacity for typical industrial uses. Additionally, sewer is located at the terminus of Z-Max Blvd and flows south through Parcel 3 where it connects to an interceptor line at Back Creek, 1.75 miles south of the subject. It is understood there should be capacity within the existing sewer line on Z-Max and in the event capacity is reached through development of the subject, the interceptor at Back Creek has plenty of capacity. TOPOGRAPHY As seen on the preceding map the site generally slopes from north to south with two low spots occurring along the railroad tracks. In general the topography of the site is modest with slopes ranging from 5 to 10 percent thus requiring no extraordinary site work to bring the land to pad readiness. However, on the eastern side of the property there is a strong embankment where slopes are in excess of 35% over a length of 120 ft thus requiring an increased amount of localized site work. Additionally, due to excess dirt on portions of the site cut/fill is expected to be net neutral. Generally speaking, given the final grade is anticipated to gradually slope north to south from Hwy. 49 toward the rail line, there appears to be sufficient dirt on site that the topographical issues can likely be addressed through moving existing dirt as opposed to removing dirt or requiring dirt being brought to the site. Below appears a contour map with 5 ft contours and the site outlined in orange. This map was generated from the Cabarrus County GIS. 5
NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY Realizing the demand for additional rail access and the limited number of well positioned rail accessible sites within Cabarrus County, Norfolk Southern has commissioned preliminary engineering and conceptual plans for rail spurs at the property. There are 2 basic conceptual plans containing different building configurations and footprints as well as spur configurations. Additionally, the plans contemplate different traffic patterns pertaining to the aforementioned Cedar Dr. / Z-Max Boulevard. thoroughfares (shown in Plan 2). The conceptual plans appear below.
