McADAMS COMPANY, INC. <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS ' <br /> 200 HAYES BUILDING,GLEN LENNOX CENTER <br /> P.O.BOX 2896,CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27515 <br /> (919)967-7079 <br /> January 2, 1985 <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 106 E.I, Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsb'Irough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Re: Scotswood Planned Development <br /> GUM 8501A <br /> Dear Blard Members: <br /> in response to the questions and concerns raised at the November <br /> 26 public hearing on the Scotswood Planned Development, we would <br /> like ti provide additional information and clarification for the <br /> upcoming continuation of that public hearing. The following items <br /> are addressed or have been revised on the plans: <br /> Speciacation of existing vegetation types. -The entire tract is <br /> densely wooded with both deciduous and coniferous type trees <br /> and underbrush. Although a detailed tree study has not been <br /> done, all considerations to preserve specimen trees will be <br /> taken during construction. Also, supplemental plantings <br /> Will be provided to meet all screening requirements and any <br /> other conditions affected by the Special Use Permit. <br /> Imperviious surface ratios. -These ratios were in fact provided <br /> in the plan package on the "Preliminary Storm Drainage/Erosion <br /> Control Plan". We have included our specific calculations in <br /> this package to further clarify. <br /> Objection to lots not facing St. Mary's Road and Carolina Avenue. <br /> -1The lot layout of the project was designed to have the least <br /> negative impact on the adjacent properties. The classification <br /> and further improvements proposed for St. Mary's Road are not <br /> Conducive to its use for a multitude of driveway turnouts and <br /> we resisted using Carolina Avenue frontage to avoid a traffic <br /> Impact on the existing Eastwood properties. The developers <br /> propose to work with these dissenting land owners and provide <br /> a solution using a combination of bufferyard and extensive <br /> supplemental planting. <br />
