27 <br />1 <br />2 Commissioner Jacobs: This issue of the northern property line, I assume it sounds like you're <br />3 still trying to work that out, yes? <br />4 <br />5 Susan Levy: Yes. There's a question of whether there's cooperation or not to work that out. <br />6 We haven't abandoned the idea that if we purchase the property we would pursue a resolution <br />7 to the land dispute. <br />8 <br />9 Commissioner Jacobs: How much additional acreage is that? <br />10 <br />11 Susan Levy: I'm not sure. <br />12 <br />13 Commissioner Jacoibs: -One reason I was asking was I was listening to Commissioner <br />14 Yuhasz' discussion of the southeastern corner, and it seemed if you had more room to the <br />15 north, you could take that lot at the southeastern corner and- put it up at the .northern end and <br />16 have a greater area around that natural feature. I don't know if you do that within this approval <br />17 process, especially if you can't purchase the property, you can't. It would be interesting to see if <br />18 you can by the time this comes back in September. <br />19 <br />20 And then I just wanted to note A Brush with Kindness, which sounds like a very nice thing to do, <br />21 I hope you're coordinating with Urgent Home Repair. <br />22 <br />23 Susan Levy: We have an advisory group. We're referring to them and they're referring to us. <br />24 <br />25 Commissioner Jacobs: Great. Thank you. <br />26 <br />27 Commissioner McKee: The question I have is on the larger water main being put in, and the <br />28 question I forgot relates back to Mrs. Whitted's question about the other residents of Tinnin <br />29 Road being subjected to fees to tap on or having access to this larger line, which definitely <br />30 would give better fire protection. <br />31 <br />32 Craig Benedict: If they are connected to the 3" water main now, there will be no additional <br />33 connection fees to the Orange-Alamance Water Supply. Do they have to connect up directly to <br />34 the 8" or 10" water line or by virtue of tying in at the end of that 8" inch- line, would. you just <br />35 correct the pressure the whole way? We're working on those final engineering decisions, but <br />36 they would not have to necessarily.reconnect to the 8" line directly if that parallel 3" still has <br />37 integrity. <br />38 <br />39 Frank Clifton: I think it would be appropriate, you know, a lot of these issues have to be <br />40 worked out with the water company and be subject to the engineering and design and other <br />41 issues associated with that, so it's kind of hard for us to specifically state a solution until we've <br />42 got the water company involved and have some agreement situation associated with it. <br />43 <br />44 Commissioner McKee: My concern is that by approving this project, which would increase the <br />45 size of the water line, if we do not subject historic homeowners to additional fees. <br />46 <br />47 Frank Clifton: That's understood. Again, we can't answer the question. <br />48 <br />49 Commissioner Foushee: My follow-up question would be is there a possibility that this <br />50 information could be learned and disseminated by the closing of the public hearing. <br />51 <br />
