Unfortunately as there is only an existing 6 inch water line to serve the project, placing a <br />larger line within the Hart's Mill development will only result in poor water quality for residents. <br />Staff has asked the developer to provide additional detail on the water line for presentation at <br />the public hearing. <br />Stormwater Drainage: The applicant has tentatively identified a stormwater drainage plan <br />allowing for the natural infiltration of runoff on -site. <br />STAFF COMMENT.
