Item 4: The Planning Staff desires to present information relative __ to the Foxlair Subdivision. The agenda-attachment stated that two months ago, the Board approved the Foxlair Subdivision. A unique feature in this subdivision was a ford to provide access to lots across New Hope Creek. The Board approved the concept of this ford conditioned upon its being constructed high enough to provide access during the fifty year Hoed. The Planning Department has established to its satisfaction the level of the fifty year flood. A ford to this level woudl in fact be a major dam. Mr. Edwards stated that the developer of Foxlair needed the Board's approval of the bridge which had been constructed of large pipes and con- Crete. The bridge is 52 inches high and the Erosion Control Officer thinks the stream will ge over the bridge one time a year. An engineer from Rose, Pridgen and Freemon has inspected the bridge and feels that the creek pro- bably will not go over the bridge at all. The Planning Board has approved the bridge with the stipulation that buyers of the property in the back of Foxlaiz Subdivision be made aware of the problem of access during the fifty year flood. Mr. Edwards stated further that the developer would need additional erosion control for one side of the bridge. Aiscussion ensued concerning the slope of the land on the creek. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve the bridge as constructed over New Hape Creek in the Foxlair Subdivision, deleting the previously __._ approved 50 year flood plan, but with proper safeguards for the bridge.
