Ell' 39 engineer's recommendation regarding the trees on the dam and that of Paul Thames, County Engineer. Cameron responded that Mr. Thames had spoken with the project engineer and had told him that if he could get an expert opinion that the trees should remain, then they could remain. A letter has been received from an arborist recommending that the trees remain. The root systems of the trees are a major part of the dam. If the trees are cut and the stumps left, the stumps will rot and destroy the dam. The arborist did indicate that pruning might be useful to reduce wind resistance. VOTE: Unanimous. (2) New Hope Springs, Section Two (26 Lots - Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in Chapel Hill Township on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129) at the end of Hope Valley Drive and New Hope Springs Drive. It is zoned Residential-1. Adjacent land use is residential. The Final Plat of New Hope Springs, Section One Phase B was approved in October. Section One contains 28 1+ acre lots served by public roads and individual wells and septic tanks. The subdivision has two entrances on Davis Road. In Section Two, 26 lots are proposed that average 1. 12 acres in size and will be served by extensions of public roads in Section One, and new public roads. Each lot will have individual wells and septic tanks. The irregular configuration of lots 28 and 29 is based on the location of soils suitable for subsurface sewage disposal. The NC Department of Transportation has reviewed the Preliminary Plan and will require that a temporary turnaround be shown at the end of New Hope Springs Drive between Phases C and D. A stubout to the eastern property line was required as a condition of approval of the Concept Plan. The County will accept the dedication of the right-of-way without maintenance responsibility so that it will be available for future development if the property to the east is subdivided.
