38 <br /> In response to a question from Katz regarding the average number of <br /> people per household,Callemyn indicated he felt it would be three. Katz <br /> then noted that could mean one school age person per household. <br /> Callemyn responded that the intent is to target a broad range of income <br /> levels so there would be a good chance that there would be children in the <br /> age group that would attend the school. Katz noted that would fill the <br /> school to capacity. Callemyn noted that the area would fill the school <br /> and Katz stated that this development would account for two-thirds of the <br /> students and Callemyn agreed that was possible. <br /> Barrows asked for clarification on who is going to pay for water and <br /> sewer. Callemyn responded that the applicant has a contractual <br /> agreement with the school board that the school will design and build the <br /> line and upon completion the developer will pay half of the cost and the <br /> same is true of the road. The developer will pay half the cost of the road. <br /> Once the development is built,the church will also benefit from the water <br /> and sewer lines and there will be better water flow and better fire <br /> protection in the area. <br /> McAdams asked for clarification of the acreage donated for a school site. <br /> Callemyn responded that the land south of the bypass is approximately <br /> forty-five acres. The developer has deeded eighteen acres so that the <br /> school can start construction. As soon as a school site is determined and <br /> a long range plan is developed related to the property,this land will either <br /> go to the school board,parks and recreation. That acreage is dedicated <br /> to something other than development of the property. Eventually,it will <br /> be approximately forty-five acres and a 100-foot right-of-way. <br /> Callemyn,in response to Barrows regarding the school acreage,stated <br /> that eighteen acres has been deeded to the school board. It's a question <br /> of whether the school site is shifted to the west. The reason the <br /> remaining land has not been deeded,is that the developer wants to get <br /> credit for that land as open space. The difference between the eighteen <br /> acres and the forty-five acres is to be dedicated open space. <br /> Allison asked for further clarification on transportation and the location <br /> adjacent to the Phelps farm. Belk responded that the farm is on the <br /> National Register Study List and it still qualifies as a primary <br /> conservation area and maintains the same resource value. <br /> Selkirk asked how the presence of this development would affect the <br /> farm. Belk responded that is hard to know without a plan. Changing this <br /> to Ten-Year Transition would allow for high intensity uses. The Historic <br /> Preservation Commission would be interested in reviewing any <br /> development proposals for potential impact. <br /> Katz asked if the sewer line would have the capacity for development <br /> in excess of the school and this development. Callemyn responded that <br /> there are homes between this area and the Town limits that would <br /> probably want to tap on to the lines. Katz continued,expressing concern <br /> about other larger developments and Callemyn responded that the <br /> capacity would be available. <br />
