074 <br /> DRAFT PH MINUTES 3-17 -86 PAGE 18 <br /> • <br /> this unpaved road could carry • the additional <br /> traffic that would be generated from this site <br /> without additional improvements and that the <br /> requirement for paving was unreasonable . The <br /> applicant has limited road frontage on Miller Road . <br /> MOTION: Pearson moved approval with the deletion of the <br /> references to public water . Seconded by Shanklin . <br /> Kirk stated the Board might wish to recommend <br /> restrictive covenants along the creek at this time . <br /> Horton responded these were available • for <br /> recordation and copies are available for the Board . <br /> Best inquired of Mr. Horton why he considered <br /> public water if it could so easily be changed to <br /> wells and why he had not considered public sewer . <br /> Horton responded the water lines were nearer the <br /> development than the sewer lines .

He felt <br /> this action would essentially create a moratorium . <br /> Pearson inquired if any additional recommendations <br /> are needed if the developer does go with public <br />
