44 <br /> Approved 7/1/2015 <br /> 100 trying to utilize the pond as a storm water retention device so in maximum flow areas, the pond will serve to <br /> 101 retain storm water so it will be release more gradually after the storm event is over. <br /> 102 <br /> 103 Pete Hallenbeck: It looks like the drainage to the pond is out the center. Is that through a drain pipe? <br /> 104 <br /> 105 Tom Heffner: I don't know. <br /> 106 <br /> 107 Pete Hallenbeck: If it is, you should still have a cut away for hurricane events. <br /> 108 <br /> 109 Tom Heffner: That will be part of the design. <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Michael Harvey: I would like to remind the board that on pages 34 and 35, we have provide the board with <br /> 112 an email exchange from David Sykes and Jason Shepard of Orange County Emergency Services as well <br /> 113 as Mike Tapp who is the deputy chief of the local volunteer fire department indicating there are two existing <br /> 114 water sites that would support fire suppression activity. The question was asked, does this pond need to <br /> 115 be turned into a water source. Mr. Tapp has indicated it does need to be there as there are existing water <br /> 116 sources they will take advantage of. We did not require a stand pipe for this pond. <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Lydia Wegman: How many properties currently use Shakori Trail as an access point? <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Tom Heffner: There are two properties. One property has two houses and the other has one building. <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Lydia Wegman: There is no expectation of expansion? <br /> 123 <br /> 124 Tom Heffner: Those people probably do have subdivision rights there. <br /> 125 <br /> 126 Lydia Wegman: They would have rights? <br /> 127 <br /> 128 Tom Heffner: Exactly. <br /> 129 <br /> 130 Maxecine Mitchell: I take it the threshold for not having some type of recreational, are we going to be faced <br /> 131 with someone saying I want to put a pool but I don't have enough impervious surface to do anything? <br /> 132 <br /> 133 Michael Harvey: This parcel of property is not located in a protected or critical watershed overlay district so <br /> 134 there is no impervious limit. There are open space requirements on the lots but nothing that would <br /> 135 preclude them from putting in a pool. The applicant is providing walkways but they are electing to do a <br /> 136 payment-in-lieu to the County allowing for regional park development. In other words the applicant will give <br /> 137 the county money that will go to developing parks in the area. <br /> 138 <br /> 139 James Lea: You said there would be walkways, does that mean sidewalks and if so, who maintains those <br /> 140 sidewalks? <br /> 141 <br /> 142 Tom Heffner: The homeowners association. I do a meandering concrete sidewalk behind the DOT street <br /> 143 right of way. I am going to do sidewalk on both sides and then another section of sidewalk will come down <br /> 144 toward the pond. The combination of sidewalks on both sides will give about a mile of walking trail. <br /> 145 <br /> 146 Unidentified Female: Are these houses essentially like the ones in Creekwood? <br /> 147 <br /> 148 Tom Heffner: Based on the probable lot size will be. <br /> 3 <br />
