Commissioner Carey inquired if the .17.3 acres shown as being left-~in~` its natural state is the area outside that needed for the septic system. Collins responded that was his understanding and that the septic system was designed to accommodate the additional 25 units only. The design thus serves as a built in density control. Philip Post, the engineer who prepared the plan, stated that the travel surface of I-85 is well over 100' from the edge of the right--of-way -which would make the first mobile home location almost 300 feet to I- 85. Post indicated there would be the absolute minimum grading and clearing needed for the mobile home spaces and roads. He noted that the area shown as remaining in .its natural state would remain under the unitary ownership of the entire tract. There is grazing of horses at various times in existing pastures. He indicated much work had been done to present the best possible planned development. Post also stated that this project will be .under control of the State Health Services for water and sewer services and that agency will not review an application as a preliminary matter but. only as a final plan with all details presented. Mr. Post stated that the site distance at the park entrance is B50 feet to the north. He noted that the traffic count of 125 trips per day on Mt. Hermon Church Road is only a l~ increase. The capacity on this road is 7,000 - 9,000 vehicles per day. Jacobs asked if there was any opportunity within the tenants' associa- -.tion agreement for the handling of tenants grievances. Post responded that the existing agreement as written would not address such grievances but noted the closing sentence of the agreement asks for and welcomes suggestions from the tenants. Jacobs indicated that tenants from other mobile home parks were concerned about the lack of legal mechanisms to address grievances, and he would be interested to see how this would be handled in this situation. Commissioner Halkiotis stated that in some mobile home parks which he had recently visited the opportunity to address grievances is a pro- blem. Commissioner Carey stated suggestions for solutions of tenant problems could come from meetings being held with Planning Board members, .mobile home park owners and tenants. He continued, asking who is responsible for the maintenance of Phase I of Flowers Mobile Home Park. Post responded the park owner maintained the public areas and the tenants were responsible .for the areas around their mobile homes. Post indicated this system would continue in effect for the addition to the park. Trash pick-up was discussed, and Post indicated there would be individual trash cans at each unit and be picked up. Post indicated all these items could be addressed through mobile home park regulations. .. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to refer the application to the Planning Board for recommendation. The recommendation is to be presented to the Board of Commissioners on July 6, 1987. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
