17 1 Michael Harvey said thisis in the Eno Fire District,and therates should not be high 2 becausethe storm water ponds have been specifically designed to serve as emergency water 3 accesspoints. 4 Commissioner Price referred tothe map that showsthe wells, and she asked for 5 clarification on the septic area locations. 6 Michael Harvey said thedark gray areas show theacceptable locations for septic fields. 7 He said the concentric circles notethe required separation between septic and well locations. 8 Commissioner McKee asked if the emergency access road will be gated and if the 9 appropriate authorities will have keys. 10 Michael Harvey said yes. 11 Commissioner McKee said there have been several instances where a short access 12 road would put homes within the 5 mile area. He said this is a good thing to remember for the 13 future, although it does not apply to this subdivision. 14 Commissioner Pelissier said it appears that the well on lot 11does go into the septic 15 repair area on lot 10. 16 Terry Borland said the separation requirements between the well and septic must 17 followed, and if the plan shows a conflict,there is latitude to move the well. He said theseplans 18 are just proposed locations. 19 Commissioner Pelissier said many ofthelots are listed as having conventional initial 20 with subsurface drip repair. She asked ifthis means there is a likelihood that the repair will 21 have to be done with subsurface drip. 22 Terry Borland said if the initial field is no longer viable at some point in time, then the 23 repair field or secondary field can be used.He said the initial fields are all conventional, and the 24 repair areas have shallower soil, so a drip system is more appropriate. 25 Michael Harvey said even if this application is approved tonight, every lotwill still have to 26 apply for the appropriate improvement permits through the health departments. He said the 27 septic and well locations, as well as septic types are not final until these applications are 28 approved. 29 Chair Jacobs askedwhy this is acul-de-sac as opposed to a connection. 30 Michael Harvey said the site distance around the curve is not safe enough to site a 31 connectiononto Willett Road. 32 Chair Jacobs said there needs to be a better set of standards for site lines.He said 33 there are other areas with much smaller site lines. 34 Chair Jacobs askedwho is maintaining the ponds. 35 Michael Harvey said the Home Owner Association (HOA) will be responsible for this. 36 Commissioner Dorosin said if you have a clustered sub-division,you have to have an 37 HOAbecause of the common space. 38 Michael Harvey said this is correct. 39 Commissioner Dorosin said delegating authority to an HOA can, in some cases, 40 disadvantage property owners. He said he is certainthat he does not want to favor HOA’s. 41 Commissioner Dorosin asked for clarification on the location of phases 1-3, and he 42 asked if these are all contiguous. 43 Michael Harvey reviewed the map, and he said all 4 are not contiguous from an access 44 point. He said phases 1 and 2 will be contiguous, and phases 3 and 4 will be contiguous from a 45 vehicular standpoint. He said there will be trail access. 46 Chair Jacobs saidthere are significant environmental advantages to having contiguous 47 open space, and this is part of the trade off. 48 49 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee,seconded by Commissioner Price to 50 approve the Preliminary Plat, and the Resolution of Approval at Attachment 7.
