3 developer is willing to work with NCDOT to get the streets accepted and to work with the Planning Board to resolve the drainage problems that exist. Commissioner Willhoit expressed a concern about the pump station at Wilmore and questioned the capacity of that pump station stating that it is contrary to decisions already made if the Board continues to approve projects that overload the pump stations which makes it unable to serve other areas. He asked that a map be prepared showing where the lines run and the capacity of each line. Chair Marshall asked that this map be prepared for review by the Planning Board and be made a part of their recommendation. Collins noted that the pump station in Wildwood and the one at Wilmore are connected by a force main which does have the capacity to serve the additional units proposed in Section IV of Wildwood. The consulting engineer for Hillsborough calculated out what the excess capacity was at those facilities. In calculating the excess capacity, he projected a 250 unit buildout for Wildwood Subdivision. An R--3 rezoning would mean a buildout of approximately 243 units. The capacity is available for this development. However, there is no additional capacity for the Meadowlands. The projection includes the capacity for a 60- unit motel site on NC86 which is part of the Occoneechee Point Project which has not yet been approved by the Board. A member of the Homeowners Association commented about the lack of public restrooms at the construction site. The State Health Department requires bathroom facilities to be available. He asked that this be investigated. He made comments about the high water bills and noted that the people in this area cannot vote for members of the Hillsborough Town Board and have no one to hear their complaints. Chair Marshall explained that the water and sewer system is to be self- supporting and those people who receive these services are being charged an amount which assures the system be self- supporting. Commissioner Halkiotis asked if the Health Department could look into the concern expressed about the lack of restrooms at the construction site and Commissioner Carey indicated they would. Alan Fuller asked about the extent of the investigation into the drainage problems and asked if this report would address the runoff as well and Chair Marshall indicated it would. NO FURTHER COMMENTS, CLOSEDI Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Carey to refer the rezoning request to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be received on August 3, 1987.
