io , 5 <br /> continued giving details of the proposed system for <br /> Piney Mountain Cluster Subdivision noting that <br /> North State Utilities requires that all parts of <br /> any sewer system owned and operated by them must be <br /> constructed or installed by approved contractors. <br /> NSU inspects all work before any payments are made <br /> by either the developer or builders constructing <br /> houses on individual lots. This policy is followed <br /> to insure that the materials specified are in fact <br /> used and that all construction is done in a work- <br /> manlike manner. <br /> Jacobs inquired if the body of water in the sub- <br /> division would be for active recreation. Mr. <br /> Osborne responded no. Jacobs continued asking how <br /> the developer intended to restrict access. Mr. <br /> O' Neal responded that the pond would be posted as <br /> well as being addressed in the covenants . He noted <br /> that the nitrification field would. be fenced. <br /> Best indicated that he felt that it is sufficient <br /> for the pond to be posted and addressed in the <br /> covenants. <br /> Best referenced the letter from NCDOT requiring a <br /> left turn lane on SR 1718 prior to Phase Two <br /> construction asking if the developer would consider <br /> installing the left turn lane in Phase One. The <br /> developer agreed, indicating it is more economical <br /> to do in Phase One. <br /> Discussion followed between Yuhasz and Best as to <br /> whether this was a truly incomplete application. <br /> Jacobs read from the Adopted Rules and Procedures <br /> of the Planning Board, "At the March 5, 1985, the <br /> Board decided that no incomplete development <br /> proposals will be placed on the agenda for discus- <br /> sion by the Planning Board. If an imcomplete <br /> application is inadvertently scheduled, consider- <br /> ation of the item will be automatically be post- <br /> poned until a later meeting . " Jacobs continued <br /> that it was an error on Planning Staff ' s part not <br /> the part of the developer that those statements <br /> from Duke Forest representatives had not been <br /> solicited. <br /> MOTION: Yuhasz moved to overrule the Chair ' s decision to <br /> remove Piney Mountain Preliminary Plan because it <br /> is an incomplete application . Seconded by Lewis. <br /> Yuhasz stated he felt it was a bad precedent to <br /> allow this Board to make a Judgment that a sub- <br /> division application is incomplete when it in fact <br /> meets the technical requirements of the ordinance <br /> for completion . He continued that situations may <br /> arise in which would desire to delay consideration <br /> for additional information but he did not feel that <br /> the judgment that the subdivision application was <br />
