007 • OrangeCounty Board of Commissioners Page Two Consideration of erosion control measures. -We have met with the Erosion Control Officer and discussed the options available in solution to storm drainage and erosion control needs. Prlior to the design of detailed construction plans all watercourses and drainage outfalls will be accurately sur- veyed. The topographic information used for preliminary design was interpolated from United States geodetic maps. Slight revisions to road alignments, drainage easements, or lot lines can be made before approval of the final subdivision plats. In consideration of the proposed long-term phasing of the project, the affects of the run-off from the development oflthe multi-family and commercial tracts on the downstream property should be investigated when designing detailed construction plans for these areas. With reference to our discussions with the Erosion Control Officer, we seem to concur that accomodation of erosion control devices can be provided by alternative storm drainage methods. More specific plans and detailed procedures can be approved prior to issuance of grading and construction permits. Provisions for handicapped parking and ramps. -The site plans have been revised to note the provision of handicapped parking within the commercial tract and multi-family areas and also for access to the recreational areas. Details for the construction of ramps will be included at street/sidewalk intersections. Provisions for recreation area. -We have revised the location of the' active recreation space area in accordance with the suggestion of the recreation department. The area provides approximately 10 acres of land along the creek for passive useiand 5 acres of land which is at a higher elevation and on more level ground for the active uses suggested. We wouldIalso like to request that these changes be made to the conditions outlined in the Special Use Permit: Item 7. The design of Graham Drive and Hamilton Road for a 37' pavement cross-section rather than the suggested 41' would serve both to provide an efficient collector system and to preserve the neighborhood character of the subdivision. Item 9. _ We agree that curb and gutter would be appropriate on Scotswood Boulevard, Graham Drive, and Hamilton Way as collectors within the street system. However, the elimination of this requirement on the remaining roads would be consistent with the road standards of the North Carolian Department of Transportation and lend to the intent of environmental
