NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING Field View Subdivision Concept Plan January 27, 1998 In Attendance: Applicant: Clinton Bradley, Developer, Brady Goforth, Surveyor; Citizens: Donnie Blanken, Mary Denton (representing James and Mary Ward and Daniel Crouse), Robert Nichols, Jr., Dorothy Ruffin, Coy Smith, Carlton Ward, Terry Whiffed, Walter Winn; Staff: Emily Cameron, Don Belk. Ms. Cameron opened the meeting with a background on the Flexible Development Concept Plan process and the development review procedures. She explained the purpose of the neighborhood information meeting. The Planning Board will consider the Field View Concept Plan at their February 4 meeting. She noted that a summary of the Neighborhood Information Meeting will be included with the staff report to the Planning Board. Mr. Blanken had a question about the proposed stubout on the western boundary of the parcel. Ms. Cameron explained the policy on stubouts. Ms. Cameron then turned to Brady Goforth to present the Field View Concept Plan. Mr. Goforth described the development and showed where the dedicated open space would be located. On some lots, the septic fields will be placed in the open space. The pond area in the northeast corner of the parcel will be protected, and bordered by two large lots. A citizen asked about the type of water that would be provided to the development. Would it be individual wells or public water? Mr. Goforth said this has not been determined. In response to a question about the placement of mobile homes on the proposed lots, Mr. Goforth stated that all houses would be stick - built. The houses will range from 1150 to 1500 square feet, and will be similar to the Wagon Farm Trail subdivision on High Rock Road, as well as the Oak Pointe development near Mebane. The price range of the houses will be $103- 130,000, except for the two large lots. Houses will be constructed by a number of different builders, then marketed for sale. The subdivision will be constructed in 6 or 8 phases. Regarding the paving of Frazier Road, he said the entrance portion of Frazier from Lebanon (approximately 250') would be paved. Also, the subdivision streets would be paved. The remainder of Frazier will remain as a gravel road. There is a possibility that NCDOT will pave more of Frazier Road after the subdivision is built out. Mrs. Denton asked about the existing treelines on the parcel. Mr. Bradley stated that he intends to keep tree clearing to a minimum, because he saves money by keeping existing trees in place. Ms. Cameron stated that 15 -20 trees per lot are required, so there will be new plantings in addition to the existing trees. The Field View subdivision is the twelfth major subdivision Concept Plan submitted since the advent of Flexible Development. Ms. Cameron and Mr. Belk thanked everyone for attending this Neighborhood Information Meeting.
