32 <br />Dixon to Cameron <br />August 24, 1998 - ' <br />Page 2 <br />Community Well: TLC supports SASS Properties' proposal to link the new <br />neighborhood to the Sedgefield community well or to establish its own system rather than <br />individual wells. We are concerned that pumping from individual wells might impact subsurface <br />water levels and dry up the seeps and bogs that provide habitat for raze salamanders and <br />dragonflies. <br />Stormwater Runoff: Because of TLC's concern about the impact of stormwater from the <br />development, SASS Properties has agreed to consult with Dr. Nancy White, an NCSU <br />hydrologist and expert on techniques to reduce stormwater flow. <br />TLC believes that the 257 acres to be preserved as open space will not only protect the <br />most important natural areas of the property but also provide a beautiful new location in the <br />county for hiking and nature study. We have been impressed by SASS Properties willingness to <br />work with TLC to protect this important azea. We support approval of the conceptual plan as it <br />relates to our areas of expertise: natural azeas, open space, and passive recreational areas. <br />Please let me know if you have additional questions. <br />Sin erely, <br />f i <br />~~ <br />Kate Dixon <br />Executive Director <br />
