these improvements , which will be needed. whether for Scotswood or the accumulation of other developments on the east and north sides of Hillsborough . We do not think we are asking for anything unreasonable when we ask, as we are in this case, that the road and other improvements necessary for a project like Scotswood be in place before any adverse impacts from the project are experienced. In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, we believe that sufficient water is available to serve the Scotswood development, provided short-term improvements are carried out to increase existing water supplies and definite plans are made for a longer-term, permanent source of supply. Scotswood should not be turned down because of water alone unless simi ilr growth limits are placed on all other parts of the County that rely ,'.;, the i Eno River for water. Also, we are concerned about the potential traffic impacts of Scotswood, especially in the vicinity of Cameron Park School and along Highway 70. We wish to be assured that any and all road improvements necessary to handle the traffic demands of Scotwood will take place before additional traffic hazards or traffic congestion occur. In recommending a limit of 200 dwelling units until certain improvements are completed , we have merely tried to propose one possible way to provide this assurance. We would , of course, welcome other approaches that address this concern. Thank you for the opportunity to present the Town Board' s position on this matter.
