088 o <br /> 4 <br /> tank . Kirk noted that the developer indicated he <br /> was willing to combine the lots in order to have a <br /> site for a septic tank on each lot. <br /> Jacobs asked for a current traffic count on <br /> Pleasant Green Road. Kirk responded that Shadow <br /> Lake had indicated a count of 1100. Thi <br /> subdivision would generate about 340 trips per days <br /> Yuhasz expressed concern with condition #7 and the <br /> origin of such a condition. Collins responded that <br /> it originated from recommendations from OWASA and <br /> indicated it was desirable information for a plat. <br /> He noted that it would benefit Staff if the Health <br /> Department approval is on the preliminary plat <br /> rather than just a file in the Health Department. <br /> Yuhasz asked if the Health Department indicated <br /> specific sites for primary and backup nitrification <br /> fields. Collins responded that the Health Depart- <br /> ment indicates locations where soil is suitable for <br /> a septic system. Yuhasz noted that it may not be <br /> possible to indicate specific sites. Collins <br /> responded that there is always a possibility that <br /> adjustments must be made to preliminary plats. <br /> Jacobs asked about the reference to "heavily <br /> wooded" . Crudup responded that at one time this <br /> area was forested . It is very dense hardwoods with <br /> evergreens. <br /> Pilkey asked about the size of the creek . Kirk <br /> responded that it is an intermittent stream with a <br /> 50-foot stream buffer along the back of lots 9 <br /> through 12 with a stormwater detention area on lot <br /> 12 . Best asked if the detention area is permanent. <br /> Kirk responded that he understood that area is to <br /> remain undisturbed. Jacobs asked if that could be <br /> indicated . Kirk responded that it could be added <br /> as a condition of approval . Yuhasz noted that an <br /> easement for maintenance if needed could be indi- <br /> cated. Crudup noted that water would not be in the <br /> detention area at all times; it will be permanent <br /> so that runoff is not increased from the current <br /> rate. She continued that there would not be water <br /> there except during or immediately after a heavy <br /> rain . Jacobs asked who would provide maintenance <br /> if it is required. Kirk responded that usually a <br /> Homeowners / Association would provide maintenance. <br /> Jacobs noted that there is no mention of a <br /> Homeowners / Association . Mr. Bullock, owner and <br /> developer, indicated he felt the small creek would <br /> need no maintenance and thus there was not a need <br /> to establish a Homeowners / Association. Tom <br /> Morris, agent for Mr. Bullock, indicated he felt <br /> Staff had required the detention area to be sure <br /> the area was indicated as an unbuildable area. <br /> Kirk noted that it was probably designated as a <br /> stormwater detention area to meet ordinance <br />
