3-6-97 Planning Board Minutes 23 Katz asked if the stubout is provided, is it definite that at some point the road will be extended or, is it just an option. Cameron responded that by reserving the right-of-way,the County is looking for a connection to make an efficient pattern when adjacent property develops. Price asked the purpose of the stubout if it never co,inects to another road and also,why this particular connection. Cameron responded that, in this case, it provides additional access to Mill Pointe. Walters commented that EMS, in the past,has indicated they prefer connector roads while the Sheriff s Department prefers cul-de-sacs. Allison stated that he would prefer the conservation plan without the stubout. He felt this was almost designing the next!Property. MOTION: Allison moved adoption of the conservation plan without the stubout. Seconded by Katz. Brooks stated that she liked the conservation plan;however,she felt the stubout was needed for future connection of neighborhoods and would also assist school buses. Barrows expressed concern that the southern stubou:would negate the open space. VOTE: 6 in favor. 1 opposed-Brooks(for reasons already stated).
