• <br /> Flop Greenberg asked what would happen if a lot <br /> as shown could not be served with a septic 018 <br /> tank. <br /> Kirk responded it would be combined with <br /> another lot that was approved for a septic <br /> tank. <br /> Kirk also indicated that a notation could be <br /> placed on the plat indicating the lot was <br /> unsuitable for building development. <br /> MOTION: Shanklin moved for preliminary approval of <br /> 146 16 through 33 on the east side of Kiger <br /> Road (Sections II and III) . Wilson seconded <br /> the motion. <br /> Greenberg inquired as to why staff had said <br /> there would be minimal impact when there are <br /> 33 lots proposed. <br /> Pilkey responded saying/chat Kiger Road was a <br /> narrow dirt road, not a major thoroughfare. <br /> Furthermore, the area was a farming <br /> community at low density. <br /> Kirk said the development would add a number <br /> of trips per day to Kiger Road. Staff used <br /> about 6.7 trips per dwelling as a rule of <br /> thumb. <br /> Wilson noted this would mean about 250 trips <br /> from the project. • <br /> >Greenberg asked what the cutoff was for /N4 440 <br /> 4eetee impact." <br /> adstme,sc. <br /> Collins responded that had not been defined <br /> specifically. He said that 250 vehicle <br /> • trips per day would be minimal on SR 1538 <br /> (Red Mountain Road) , a road with a total <br /> capacity of 7,000-9,000 trips per day. He <br /> added that the School Board offered few, if <br /> • any, comments regarding adverse impact from <br /> any subdivision plat sent for its review. <br /> • <br /> Walters asked if sufficient right-of-way was <br /> • present to allow future widening. <br /> Kirk responded affirmatively, indicating a <br /> 60-food right-of-way existed.-- <br /> Wilson questioned lot 32, stating the <br /> County's policy of not approving flag lots. <br /> • <br /> nomplimmilmw <br />
