~o~. the 50', the otter 15' would be used as yard areas and for drainacc ways around units. As much as possible of the 50' area will be left in a natural state. In the zeczeation area we are proposing to add a volleyball court near file swimming pool and clubhouse. A nature area will be designated in the loop of the jogging trails. This area will be used far passive recreation b}~ the residents of Hampton Dovms. The club house is proposed to be 2300 square feet. Included within the clubhouse will be bathhouse facilities, restroorns, meeting areas, offices nor the homeovrners association, a sales office, a kitchen azea, - wet bar, and vending machine area. There may also be a game raorn stiith pool tables, ping pong and video games for use by residents. The proposed recreation area available. to Hampton Downs residents will e::ceed the area required by the Zoning Ordinance. The following comments are directec toward the Planning Staff's revie~~ of Hampton Downs: Utilities: It is proposed that the Town of flillsborough would maintain the utility system for Hampton Downs. This would include the crater distribution system; up to the ir_dividual meters and all sewer lines 3" or greater in size. The access road and all p«rking areas will be dedicated as easements for utilities and access. In addition, setter lines will be placed within easements. In the final design of the utility layout sewer lines svi11 be placed outside of any Grea to be decided to individuals, however designated sewer a«sements may encroach into these deeded lots, as necessar}~. 67e are in basic ag.-eer:~ent with the staff concerns about the water system. The proposed layout of fire.hydzants meets the minimum required far fire protection and we feel that it is adec,~uate. The fire cY:ief should have the ... _.: final say on the appropriate location of hydrants. Access and Road Construction: The access for phase 1 of Hampton Dovrns - will be through G~tildwood via John Brickenridge Drive. That road will serve approximately 26 lots in G~~ildsvood Subdivision Section 1. It eras stubbed out to allow it to be continued through this property. It is the intention of the developers to build a private road in Iiampton Downs which will have a cross section very similar to a Z•aved state secondary road. That means a gravel base and asphalt travel surface with drainage swales on each side to handle stormwater runoff. The swales are consiciered adequate by the state foz roads which they maintain and we believe they will prove adequate for Har.;pton Downs. xn those areas vrhere the slope exceeds 10~; we can place rip rap in the svrales to reduce the velocity of. the storm water. l•?e do not believe that the installation of an underground storm water system and curb and gutter will better address the drainage problems -- the storm water will be concentrated and there is no - possibility of infiltration with curb and gutter. G•?e do propose to use gutter along the parking areas to direct storm water away from buildings and into natural areas where it might be absorded into the ground. It is our intention to maximize infiltration, and minimize the concentration of storm vratez. The storm c.rGinage system Trill utilize sheet drainage where possible. On the site plan there are several sediment structures shown c~rhich encroach on the 35' natural areas. It is the intention of the developers to dismantle these as each phase is completed and the site is stablized. Once the structures are no longer used they will be stablized themselves and planteci.
