3-6-97 Planning Board Minutes 21 Tax Map 2, Lot 2. With the Preliminary Plan for each phase containing a stubout,submit a deed to Orange County for the right-of- way. Conservation Option 1.Access to all lots shall be limited to the new subdivision roads; 2.Provide a publicly dedicated right-of-way stubout to connect with the adjacent parcel to the south which is referenced as Cheeks Township, Tax Map 2,Lot 2. With the Preliminary Plan for each phase containing a stubout,submit a deed to Orange Co lnty for the right-of- way; 3.Provide an open space easement along the common line between lots 32-35 and lots 38 and 65 and; 4.With the Preliminary Plan,submit draft forms of homeowners association documents,restrictive covenants,and/or conservation easement documents which contain development restrictions and maintenance requirements for open space and buffers. Barrows asked for clarification of the stubout to the south. Cameron responded by indicating the approximate location on the vicinity map.

Strayhom noted he had concerns with a deeded right-of-way as opposed to a dedicated easement and asked that some clarification be sought from the County Attorney for this rationale. Cameron agmed to pose this question to the County Attorney. Price asked if there had been any studies done on the impact of the septic tanks on the streams. Cameron responded that it would be the same for any subdivision in a watershed. There maybe wells in the stream buffer but the septic system,or,any part of the system,must be a minimum of 100 feet from the stream,or outside the stream buffer. Price continued asking about runoff into the stream. Cameron responded that Environmental Health would identify septic sites when they evaluate each lot at the preliminary plan stage. Barrows asked about a concern that had been expressed at the Neighborhood Information Meeting about the loss of trees if the flexible
