Neighborhood Information Meeting Weekly Homes LLC — Dunhill Subdivision Mt. Sinai Road Property (PIN 9881-15-7138) West Campus Office Building - 131 West Margaret Lane August 6, 2012 — 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There were approximately 33 people in attendance. Staff reviewed the Class A Special Use Permit process and informed those in attendance of the public hearing scheduled for August 27, 2012 to begin the review of the proposed subdivision. The BOCC will adjourn the hearing and refer the application to the Planning Board for review. Staff indicated the BOCC was expected to reconvene the public hearing at their November 20, 2012 regular meeting to receive the Planning Board's recommendation and make a formal decision on the application. Staff indicated the review and approval of a Special Use Permit application was conducted in a quasi judicial setting meaning all parties wishing to speak for and against the project would be sworn. Staff said that the County will base a decision to approve or deny a project on the sworn testimony, competent material, and evidence entered into the record demonstrating the project's compliance or non-compliance with County regulations. Staff reminded those in attendance that the approval or denial of the project can only be based on the testimony and evidence offered into the record and while the applicant bears the burden of providing sufficient evidence the project complies with applicable standards, those in opposition also bear a burden of submitting evidence demonstrating that the project is inconsistent with County regulations or demonstrating that the applicant had not met their burden. The applicant's engineer, Ms. Michelle Kempinski of Summit Engineering, summarized the proposed development as follows: • Development of a 26 lot single-family residential subdivision, each 2 acres in area, on a 68 acre parcel of property located at 2301 Mt. Sinai Road , • The lots are intended to be served by a proposed community well and individual septic systems, • Access will be from Mt. Sinai Road. Internal roadways serving the project are proposed to be constructed to applicable public road standards, with the eventual goal that they will be turned over to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for perpetual maintenance upon completion. • The overall density of the proposed subdivision is 1 dwelling unit for every 2.6 acres of property.
