36 <br />Approved 12/5/07 <br />developer with five less houses. If the board wants to give definiteness to what it had decided eight or nine years <br />ago. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Did you receive notification? <br />Joe Swanson: There was a very small sign on Moorefield. Most people did not even see it. <br />Jay Bryan: Was there a neighborhood meeting to meet with the developer'? <br />Joe Swanson: The first time I got involved was at that meeting. It seemed it was already decided. I don't think I had <br />adequate time to voice their concerns. <br />Sam Lasris: Are there regulations that determine repair fields. <br />Eddie Kirk: They require a minimum of 40,000 square feet and'enough space on the property plus the septic field <br />and a complete repair. <br />Sam Lasris: That has been determined on every lot. <br />Steve Yuhasz: To install a septic system for a four bedroom house is 10,000 square feet. The septic and repair <br />usually require 20,000 square feet. There was a meeting and this gentleman was at the meeting. The lots that he <br />owns are still separate property. There is one inaccuracy. The previous subdivision that was turned down had 25 <br />lots on 30 acres and this has 17 lots on 35 acres. <br />Brian Crawford: My recollection was that the concept plan was well attended. There were two plans, correct? <br />Eddie Kirk: No, this is the flexible plan you saw. <br />Renee Price: I am concerned about the western portion towards the stream; would the septic system go downhill <br />into the stream? <br />Steve Yuhasz: In general, that is true. The idea of identifying particular soils for a septic system is so it will not go <br />into neighboring streams. <br />Renee Price: I am looking at the proximity. We don't have'a footprint of the house. <br />Steve Yuhasz: I think that is the purpose of having a buffer. <br />Wilson Lamb: I. don't remember receiving any mail. There were 8.5 x 11 signs posted about 20 feet off the road. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Could we have a response from staff about notifying the neighborhood. <br />Robert Davis: The ordinance requires that all property owners within 500 feet of the outside perimeter of the <br />subdivision be notified. It is generated by Land Records. They are mailed a notice. <br />Jay Bryan: The gross density for this project is 2.7 acres, could you explain that number? <br />Robert Davis: Generally, the gross density is the total acreage divided by the number of lots proposed. All of these <br />lots came through the minor subdivisions or the major subdivision under the conventional options. That means that <br />no open space was required. You get a smaller lot size and the difference goes to the common open space. If you <br />look at the map on page 60, most of the lots are in the same range. The map is not a reason to deny a subdivision. <br />3 <br />
