33 <br /> 1 Chair Jacobs noted that the restrictive covenants state that the neighborhood road is a <br /> 2 private road, but subsequent documents state that it is a public road. <br /> 3 Pat Mellott said that would be need corrected. He said this is a unique situation in that <br /> 4 the road has a private 50 foot right of way and a paved asphalt 20 foot section. He said it is <br /> 5 built to DOT standards, and it would remain a private road and would be maintained by a road <br /> 6 maintenance agreement. <br /> 7 Chair Jacobs said there are several Board members who are disappointed that the <br /> 8 covenants would not allow poultry in the sub-division. He noted that it is a trend in both towns <br /> 9 and especially suburban areas to allow people to have chickens. <br /> 10 Commissioner Price asked, in the event there are children in those three lots that will be <br /> 11 in the OCS system, how far they would have to ride on the bus to CHCCS. <br /> 12 Michael Neal said the bus would need to come in on Dairyland Road and exit the same way. <br /> 13 Commissioner Price asked what is to the west of this property. <br /> 14 Michael Neal said it is undeveloped land. <br /> 15 Chair Jacobs asked about the decision to propose cul de sacs, and whether there was <br /> 16 no possibility of connectivity. <br /> 17 Pat Mellott said cul de sacs were the best option for being as environmentally sensitive <br /> 18 as possible. <br /> 19 Michael Harvey noted that there are houses and farms in the area that might have been <br /> 20 disturbed by a connectivity plan. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Price for the <br /> 23 Board to: <br /> 24 1. Receive the Planning Board and Planning Director's recommendation on the <br /> 25 Preliminary Plat application for the Triple Crown Farm Subdivision; <br /> 26 2. Discuss the proposal as needed; and <br /> 27 3. Approve the Preliminary Plat as submitted and the Resolution of Approval contained in <br /> 28 Attachment 8. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 31 <br /> 32 <br /> 33 f. McGowan Sewer Interceptor Additional Rock Allowance and Approval of Budget <br /> 34 Amendment #9-E <br /> 35 The Board considered approving Budget Amendment#9-E adding additional rock <br /> 36 contingency to the McGowan Sewer Interceptor capital project budget and authorizing the <br /> 37 Manager to sign. <br /> 38 Chair Jacobs said this is on the regular agenda mainly as an informational item due to <br /> 39 the costs. <br /> 40 Kevin Lindley reviewed the following project overview as included in the abstract: <br /> 41 This project has been underway since March 17, 2014. The overall project is approximately <br /> 42 85% complete and consists of 2,400 linear feet of 12" gravity sewer line and de-commissioning <br /> 43 of the McGowan Creek Sewer Pump Station. The installation of this gravity sewer line will allow <br /> 44 the County to take the 26 year-old McGowan Creek Pump Station off line, which reduced the <br /> 45 annual maintenance costs for the system and avoids costly reconstruction of the aging pump <br /> 46 station (see Attachment 1). <br /> 47 The original estimated rock quantity for the 12" sewer line was 2,000 cubic yards. However, <br /> 48 after constructing approximately 2,000 linear feet (83%) of this line, the Contractor has <br /> 49 excavated 4,665 cubic yards of rock. Because of the large quantity of rocky material, the <br /> 50 Contractor has been using a special back hoe designed to break up the blasted rock, which <br />
