DRAFT 'a 5. The Preliminary Plan proposes to develop the property in four phases with six (6) lots to be developed in Phase 1, nine (9) lots in Phase 2, four (4) lots in Phase 3, and three (3) lots in Phase 4. The applicant proposes to complete the development within five years. The Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared for Woodgreen Subdivision is on file in the Planning Department. Section 6 indicates expected revenues generated from this development will be greater than expected expenditures the County will incur as a result of the development. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat for Woodgreen Subdivision with public roads and subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval (an attachment to these minutes on pages ). Barrows, referring to Lots I and 2A, asked how much of those lots will consumed by septic related activities. The applicant responded that the total for repair area and the septic system is 12,000 sq. feet. Lot IA would have 5,000 additional square feet and lot 2A is almost double. Barrows continued that the reason for the question was that she understood, in flexible development, that only half the open space could be used for septic fields and repair area. Lincoln responded that rear portions of lots 1 and 2 also open space; therefore, more than 50% will not be taken up with septic and repair area. Lots indicated as I and 2A are part of Lot 1 and 2. They are not separate lots. Barrows referred to Article VII, Use Restrictions, Section 2 which states: "Single - family residential" purposes may include "light housekeeping" apartments containing no more than one bedroom. She asked if this meant that there could be a house and a one - bedroom apartment on a.92 acre lot. The applicants responded that the Health Department had approved the lots for three bedrooms, so the total could only be three bedrooms. He felt it unlikely that there would be a two - bedroom house and a one - bedroom apartment. Lincoln noted that the Resolution is subject to review and approval by the County Attorney. She also clarified that even though the open space is individually owned as part of the lots, there will be a Homeowners Association which will ensure that the covenants are met. Barrows expressed concern that those purchasing lots may not be aware that they cannot use the conservation easements on the lots. The applicant responded that the covenants state that the developer maintains architectural control until 75% of the homes are occupied, so, the precedent will be set and the plat would be utilized in the sales materials to ensure that the buyer is aware of any and all restrictions. MOTION: Strayhorn moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Selkirk.
