ta2 {i Ili IA U 1f Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit; seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Director' s recommendation. Collins noted the receipt of a letter from Fritz Brunson whereby they have reviewed this particular abstract and are willing to work with the County in developing a plan that would solve the drainage problems. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. Collins stated that the Wildwood Homeowners Association voiced two concerns: (1) lack of responsiveness of the developer in responding to some of their concerns such as drainage. (2) He favored transferring the recreation area existing in Wildwood Subdivision which is currently under the maintenance and operation of the Association to a public agency. Collins pointed out that information on traffic accidents on NC86 is also included in the agenda for review. Fritz Brunson spoke on behalf of the developer. He stated that the developer is willing to work with NCDOT to get the streets accepted and to work with the Planning Board to work to resolve the drainage problems that exist in that subdivision. Commissioner Willhoit expressed a concern about the pump station at Wilmore and questioned the capacity of that pump station stating that it is contrary to decision already made if the Board continues to approve projects that overload the pump stations which makes it unable to serve other areas. He asked that a map be prepared showing where the lines run and the capacity of each one. Chair Marshall asked that this map be prepared for review by the Planning Board and be made a part of their recommendation. Collins noted that the pump station in Wildwood and the one at Wilmore with a force main connecting the two did have the capacity to serve the additional units proposed in Section IV of Wildwood. The consulting engineer for Hillsborough calculated out what the excess capacity was at those facilities. In calculating the excess capacity, he projected a 250 unit buildout for Wildwood Subdivision. If the rezoning was approved for R-3 with the additional units that could be built there, they would come in about 7 units under the projected 250 unit buildout. The capacity is there for this additional development. There is no additional capacity for the Meadowlands. However, in the projection is included the capacity for a 60-unit motel site on NC86 which is part of the Occoneechee Point Project that was approved by the Planning Board. That project is not going through unless it comes back for reapproval by the Board of Commissioners. This would provide some capacity for the Meadowlands. A member of the Homeowners Association commented about the lack of public restrooms at the construction site. The State Health Department stated that bathroom facilities must be available. He asked that this be investigated. He made comments about the high water bill and noted the fact that the people in this area cannot vote for members of the Hillsborough Town Board and have noone to hear their complaints.
