Y 4 only one-half of the lots could be served by wells located at least 100 feet from septic systems. However, Health Rules allow for the separation between individual wells and septic systems to be reduced to 50 feet. Most of the remaining half of the lots should be able to accommodate a well and septic system if that becomes necessary. Another option would be to relocate the septic systems on the lots in question. However,relocation of the septic systems would require the use of septic pumps. (See attached letter from Environmental Health Also, the possibility exists for owners of adjoining properties to share wells through private agreements. • In the unlikely event that replacement community wells or individual wells were not found to be adequate, public water lines could be extended in accordance with the Water and Sewer Policy,which permits such extensions to serve emergency situations. COMMON OPEN SPACE Approximately 7.9 acres within Phase II is designated as open space to be owned by the homeowner's association. The open space area is contained in two separate areas, as shown on the Preliminary Plan, each of which contains a community well site. The area included in Phase II does not contain any of the wetland or floodplain areas associated with Stoney Creek. DRAINAGE EASEMENTS The Preliminary Plan indicates easements affecting lots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 21,22, 23, 26, 27,28, 31 and 32. The Resolution of Approval requires that the drainage easements be 30 feet in width. Additional drainage easements may be required following review and approval of the Erosion Control Plan. ROAD ACCESS Beverstone Drive, which is proposed to intersect with the south side of Rigsbee Road about 400 feet west of University Station Road,provides the main access through Phases II and III, and will eventually connect with NC 10. The portion of Beverstone Drive in Phase II also intersects with the western end of Rigsbee Road,providing an additional means of access into the development. Rigsbee Road is an existing State-maintained gravel road about .4 mile in length which begins at the west side of University Station Road and dead-ends at the northeast boundary of Phase II. According to the current priority list, the paving of Rigsbee Road by the NC Department of Transportation(NCDOT) is anticipated during fiscal year 1998-99. The priority list will be re-evaluated by NCDOT in the Spring of 1997. The number of new lots approved on a road is one factor considered in the re-evaluation,and could result in the road being paved sooner.
