Brian Crawford: It is not a matter of rubber stamping it, we have an ordinance and if this plan fits the ordinance, we have come up with more <br />than jus[ our personal feelings about the plan. We have to come up with something from the law that will allow us to deny access to Damascus 21 <br />Church Road. <br />Larry Wright: I disagree with you. <br />Judith Wegner: Could we ask for the developer to come up and answer some questions for us please? Do you own fee title to that strip going <br />up? <br />Kent Wles: Yes. 1 own this strip and this parcel here. There is roughly a TO-acre tract and a 2-acre that is basically flagging this lot. <br />Judith Wegner: Have you considered going out onto Lovinggood lane so you would not go through the floodplain? <br />Kent Wiles: Yes. <br />Judith Wegner: Did you pursue that? <br />Kent Wiles: There is an incline going from Price Creek up the hill and it is an extreme hill as far as probably 25-30%. Meaning it is too high. <br />The elevation change is too dramatic. <br />Judith Wegner: You don't own that green segment. <br />Kent Wiles: This is owned by Mr. Lovinggood. His house sits on the north side of the creek. <br />Judith Wegner: Are there any other possibilities? <br />Kent Wiles: There is a road called Price Creek Road. <br />Discussion about the map. <br />Judith Wegner: You own fee title here. <br />Kent Wles: I own only the title of this lot. <br />Judith Wegner: You bought fee title to 60-foot wide strip? <br />Kent Wiles: Two acres to get access io this lot only. There was an easement through the Lewis' lot. <br />Judith Wegner: You bought this parcel from the Lewis'? <br />Kent Wiles: I believe it was their heirs: This lot came up for sale and I noticed there was easement I had no interest in the larger lot. <br />Judith Wegner: Is that owned by the same family? <br />Kent Wiles: My understanding is that it was under contract by someone else. The staff may have it on file. This stub was contingent on <br />purchasing this lot and this lot was contingent on purchasing that stub out. That was fhe timeline. Everything that was submitted to you was <br />what I wrote. I wanted a private road to feed that lot. The realtor of the person who had fhe larger parcel under contract contacted the realtor <br />that helped me close the sale of the 2-acre lot and asked if I was interested in getting the larger piece under contract. I guess he was having <br />problems with Boofh Road. I looked at and an investor stepped forward and said yes so we got that under contract as well. He sold me the <br />contract. <br />Brian Crawford: What is the timeframe? <br />Kent Wiles: Months. I don't know exactly but quite a while. <br />Judith Wegner: This is Yorktown Drive through here is that correct? <br />Kent Wiles: I believe that is called Heritage ~Ilage. <br />Judith Wegner: What is at that point? <br />Kent Wiles: I think this lot is their clubhouse. <br />
