1 � 1 <br />Terry Boylan: The lot itself is about an acre and one half and that is % of an acre. It is designed to hold water during <br />the 50 year drought and some depth below that. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: You want it to be at least 4 feet deep preferably 5 feet which would give you 44,000 gallons. <br />Patrick Mallett: We will make sure the fire marshal is satisfied with the volume. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Is Paper Birch a DOT road? <br />Patrick Mallett: They have submitted an application and the right of way has been dedicated. <br />Terry Boylan: There are some items being taken care of in terms of BMPs. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: So you are still moving in that direction. The road to the development will be DOT standard. <br />Terry Boylan: Yes. <br />Patrick Mallett: Typically the right of way is dedicated and then the road can be accepted but they want to see <br />everything. <br />Lisa Stuckey: Behind lot 1, there is an open space that is a recreation lot, how would the other residents access that <br />lot? <br />Terry Boylan: That lot can be access from Paper Birch Lane by foot. <br />Lisa Stuckey: Across the Hobbs Lot, that is an easement that exists that is part of the <br />Terry Boylan: That is the stream buffer. <br />Lisa Stuckey: So is it an easement for residents or just to keep people off? <br />Terry Boylan: That is an extension of this buffer for the stream. <br />Tony Blake: Are you putting in the hydrants? <br />Terry Boylan: In talking to the fire marshal, they prefer to be able to extend the hose. They have a platform they put <br />it on a floating dock instead of a hydrant. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: I would suggest you talk to the fire department serving this. <br />Patrick Mallett: With a Major Subdivision, you go through the concept, preliminary plan and then they go through that <br />exercise. At this point, we make sure it can work. <br />Michael Harvey: We have been meeting our Orange County Emergency Services to discuss regional impoundment <br />systems to address fire access issues. Part of that problem that came up with Triple Crown Farm was a concern <br />there were no fire ponds in the area and the developer who was willing to address his comments was not willing to <br />build a fire pond that would kill two of his lots to satisfy an impoundment need globally so we are meeting to discuss <br />regional impoundment systems. <br />Paul Guthrie: Are you far enough along that you are satisfied that the density of the wells on this site will be able to <br />provide the water? Do you know what the water conditions are that you will be drilling into? <br />Terry Boylan: There has been no individual well testing. <br />2 <br />C <br />
