- i 1 ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 000081 xrrrsBOROUGH NORTH CAROLINA. 27278 ° q q it621 N coo' MEMORANDUM TO: Eddie Kirk, Planner FROM: Warren Faircloth, Erosion Control Office& SUBJECT: Proposed Scottswood Development DATE: November 21 , 1985 I have reviewed the plans for this proposal and have the following comments. The floodplain boundries and the drainage easements should Abe surveyed and plotted on the plat for accuracy. The topo maps should not be used as a basis for establishing these features. Additional drainage easments are needed on the smaller water- courses; I can point these out to you on the plans. If necessary, drainage easements will be needed between lots to carry runoff from some of the longer streets to the watercourses instead on channeling the water down the streets. The effects of the increased runoff from this devel- opment, particularly the commercial and multi—family parts, on the downstream property should be investi- gated. .) The erosion control needs more attention . The proposed single family will require more work, but adequate space seems to be available in most places to accommodate the needed controls . The one excep- tion is at the location of Cameron Circle along the stream at lots 317-322 and at the end of Argyll Way. Adequate room between the street construction and the stream does not appear to be provided. The commer- cial and multi—family parts have not left adequate room in the most Logical location for accommodating erosion control devices . The potential Locations for sediment ponds for both of these areas are taken up by either roadways or buffers. These need attention before the plans are approved and it. becomes difficult to change the plans . Is the existing pipe under U.S. _Z.D--adequate to carry the increased runoff from this site?
