0Gb DRAFT PBM MINUTES PAGE 5 along the Eno River. MOTION: Best moved approval with the three conditions as recommended by Staff and Jacobs . Seconded by Swann . Hubbard inquired about the amount of drainage into Lake Orange. Szymik responded that the proposed extension of Lake Orange Road follows the ridge line. The property passes over the ridge line in the northeastern corner of the property which drains into Lake Orange. The remainder drains westward into a small stream which empties into the Eno River Just below the dam. Pilkey asked about access for adjoining property . Szymik responded the possibility of requiring a stubout to the property to the west ( a one- hundred acre tract) , which is separated from the State Road by another large tract of land ( 48 acres ) , was discussed but the Planning Staff decided against a requirement which might encourage further development. Margison expressed a concern that this would be another area of pollution for a water supply watershed . Best responded that the lots are larger than two-acres and the requirement now is only 40,000 square feet; thus, he felt there is sufficient open space to address Margison ' s concern . Collins clarified that after..p-emov i ng the flood- plain areas, there is sufficient buildable area to meet all setback requirements for the home and to install the septic system. Hubbard commented the large lot sizes were nice but he felt it was still too critical an area to allow development where any drainage would go into Lake Orange. Collins indicated he felt this was not an area for concern as the lots at that particular point would most likely remain wooded and that small area would act as a buffer. Eddleman noted that he felt the Board must stay with the findings of fact and the requirements or be challenged . Marglson wished to add a fourth condition requiring that all lots fronting the lake and floodplain have at least a fifty foot buffer of existing vegetation .
