- 160 t 9‘; 1 Board should be secured as he understood from newspaper articles that there was some question of the availability of those services to the project. Mr. McAdams: "I would say there is no question of the availability; only a question of the amount of charge per tap." He added that the charge by the Town of Hillsborough was not in question but a surcharge which would go to the school system under an agreement in 1973 when lines were extended to the Grady Brown School was being disputed. Mr. McAdams provided details of the agreement. The developer appealed to the School Board to reduce the surcharge due to the volume 5umber of units7 and the School Board declined. Mr. McAdams said the developer has decided that it would be cheaper to extend the water and sewer lines by another method rather than paying the surcharge. The lines would be extended for 30 feet from Oakdale Drive and a water boost pump station would be utilized. Commissioner Willhoit: Asked in terms of long range services to ti area if "that is the most ideal method" of provision. Mr. McAdams: Said the the utilization of a water pump booster station would enhance the water pressure, raising the water pressure in the entire area so that all users in the area would benefit. Commissioner Whitted: Asked Mr. McAdams if there was a sketch plan available for the next planned phase. Mr. McAdams responded that he does have one but not with with him at this hearing. Commissioner Whitted said he was particularly concerned was the safety factor of the streets. He added that he had been to Phase I and while he would not call it pavement, he'd accept that term. He asked if this "pavement" was the same as was planned for the area requested for rezoning.and. if it was the same as in the mobile home park he Timbers7. Mr. McAdams said the mobile home park had two inches of "asphaltic treatment" but that the loop road within the park was paved to State secondary road standards. Commissioner Whitted said he had two further concerns: 1) that with regard to Phase I, the existing units t the developer had not provided maintenance of the roads during snow and ice storms, so that consequent residents had parked along Orange Grove Road creating a "safety hazard;" and, 2) with regard to the "sheer numbers" of those who mould be living in the existing units, the mobile home park and the planned units, the egress and ingress on the hill, along with the existing traffic on Orange Grove Road produced a safety hazard. Commissioner Whitted asked if improved safety design could be considered and incorporated.
