Windfall Subdivision -Preliminarv Plan <br />The Board considered a preliminary plan for the proposed Windfall subdivision in Eno <br />Township near the intersection of Old N.C. 10 and Lawrence Road. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he calculates 3°l0 open space in this subdivision. He said that <br />the developers are trying to squeeze as many lots on land as they can. <br />Commissioner Brawn asked about the creek and about the development process that is on <br />these lots. <br />Craig Benedict said that the developers would work with DOT and an erosion control officer to <br />find out what size pipe needs to be used to bridge the creek with a driveway. <br />Commissioner Brawn said that she couldn't understand why this project was designed to <br />destroy a creek. She asked what the relationship is when the town provides water and the County <br />approves a septic tank. She was told that this subdivision is outside the city limits and water rates would <br />be double. She asked about making another road connection. <br />Craig Benedict said that the additional road connection was a requirement. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said he has serious concerns about stream destruction. <br />Commissioner Jacobs clarified that the Board of County Commissioners has 45 days from <br />January 5t" to make a decision on this preliminary plan. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to table <br />this item and to ask the developer to consider the concerns expressed in the comments above. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />9. ITEMS FOR DECISION -REGULAR AGENDA <br />a. Revisions to the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Proaram (VFPP1 Ordinance <br />The Board considered revisions to the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Program ordinance. <br />Environment and Resource Conservation Director David Stancil made a presentation. He <br />said that the general intent of these revisions was to clarify warding changes where different <br />departments have changed names and to broaden the base of the existing Agricultural Preservation <br />Board. <br />Commissioner Brown said that she would like to have a position for people who are simply <br />interested in this topic and not actually in this type of business. <br />
