DG3Glff4 _ _. consultant for the project, noted that this was an extremely low density area. The lots in Stoneridge are two to three acres in size and the lots in this project are two acres in size. He felt this would not be a heavy water usage project. Then are two well sites reserved on the property. There is also a possibility of a tie-in with Sedgefield and Stoneridge system since then is a main down the west side of'ilirkey Farm Road. He felt the community well was, by far, a better solution than individual wells. Selkirk asked if a hydrological analysis done of the area so that the applicant knows what the aquifer is. Mr. Smyre responded that an analysis has not been done by ICimley-Horn & Associates. While the aquifer is unlatown, a letter has been received from the operator of the wells in Sedgefield and Stoneridge that there is sufficient water in the area. It is also the responsibility, should the well ever dry up, of the developer to produce another well or to dig the original well deeper to provide water. Ivlr. Smyn continued that there an a total of 251 lots in Stoneridge and Sedgefield being served by three wells which is approximately 831ots per well, while this project is one well for 641ots. Strayhorn asked about the line size, noting that there are water lines under the road. Mr. Smyre responded that he did not have that information but the County Engineer would be involved with the actual water system. Barrows asked about the location of septic easements for the seven lots that require easements. Mr. Smyre responded that the easements for lots 3 & 4 an located across the street on a corner lot that is owned by the Homeowners Association. Lot 12 has an off-site easement on lot 13 across the open space, which is a distance of about 400 feet. Lots 45 and 52 have easements on a lot that is also owned by the Homeowners Association (he indicated the location on the plat), and lot 26 has an easement diagonally to lot 29. These solutions/recommendations were prepared for the applicant by Allen Clapp, who is with the Orange County Environmental Health Department and very knowledgeable in this field. He felt these wen good solutions. Iv1r. Smyre referred to the Resolution of Approval and asked that Item C4 be amended to read: A 50 foot buffer, as specified in the contract between Triangle Land Conservancy and the developer shall be provided along the rear of all lots located along the common boundary with the proposed Triangle Land Conservancy property. MOTION: Selkirk moved approval as recotrunended by the Planning Staffwith the requested change in Item C4 of the Resolution. Seconded by Katz. VOTE: Unanimous.
