11 AUGUST 5, 1998 PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AGENDA ITEM #8: SUBDMSION APPLICATIONS a. Concept Plans W* (1) High Point Woods, Phase 3 (8 Lots - Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in the northwest corner of Chapel Hill Township on the south side of Ode Turner Road (SR 1130) north of Davis Road (SR 1129) on a private road called Sparrow Hawk Crest.

Slopes over 15 percent (secondary conservation area) and over 25 percent (primary conservation area) are likely to remain undisturbed because the proposed lot sizes are larger and the steeper slopes occur near drainage ways and lot boundaries. The applicant has submitted a report from a soil scientist which evaluates the suitability of the soil to support on -site subsurface sewage disposal. Most of the soils are provisionally suitable, with the exception of the drainage area shown on the site analysis. The Orange County Health Department is currently reviewing the proposed lots for septic system suitability. Two Concept Plans have been submitted by Monarch Consulting Trust for review. One Concept Plan is a conventional design featuring four 7 -acre lots, four 3 -acre lots, and a 10 -acre recombination. The existing right -of-
