Margaret Lane <br />F[.illsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Kc: Scotswood Planned Development <br />GHM 8501A <br />Dear Board. Members: <br />[n response to the questions and concerns raised at the November <br />2Fi public hearing on the Scotswood Planned Development, we~would <br />like to provide additional information and clarification far the <br />upconing continuation of that public hearing. The following items <br />:ire addressed or have been revised on the plans: <br />Specification of existing vegetation types. -The entire tract is <br />densely wooded with both deciduous and coniferous type trees <br />and underbrush. Although a detailed tree study has not been <br />done, all. considerations to preserve specimen trees will be <br />taken during construction. Also,. suppleme~ttal plantings . <br />will be provided to meet all screening requirements and any <br />other conditions affected by the Special Use Permit. <br /> <br />-; •.~ <br />i <br />~1 <br />~~ <br />~~ <br />impervious surface ratios. -These ratios were in fact provided <br />in the plan package on the "Preliminary Storm Drainage/Erosion <br />Control Plan". We have included our specific calculations in <br />this package to further clarify. <br />Objection to lots not facing St. Mary's Road and Carolina Avenue. <br />-The lot layout of the project was designed to have the least <br />negative impact on the adjacent properties. The classification <br />and further improvements proposed for St. Mary's Road are not <br />conducive to its use for a multit.ude.of driveway turnouts and <br />we resisted using Carolina Avenue frontage to avoid a traffic <br />impact on the existing Eastwood properties. The developers <br />propose to work with these dissenting land owners and provide <br />a solution using a combination of bufferyard and extensive <br />supplemental planting. <br />.. - - F <br />
