3Z Glenn Bowles: Yes, NCDOT will be reviewing the plans to make certain that the traffic provisions aze adequate for the development, Ted Triebel: Recommendation #9 -The County does allow open burning, Robert Davis: The County allows no burning in relation to construction activities, Ted Triebel: Please clarify that in the recommendations. Jay Bryan: Is there a greenway plan for this part of the County? Glenn Bowles: Yes, there is one proposed along Phil's Creek, but not specifically here along Tones Ferry or Neville Branch, Bruce Ballentine: Regazding the road extensions, they aze always desired by municipal areas to provide access to land-locked areas. The adjoining property has extensive access to Tones Ferry Road, so it is not really needed, If it is your decision, or the BOCC.'s decision to dedicate the open space, we can accommodate that, rather than have an extended right-of--way. Jay Bryan: Would any members of the public like to speak? Jean Corbett: In looking at the Orange County State of the Environment report, the data on water consumption shows an increase in consumption from 124 gallons per day in 1985 to 145 gallons per day, which is a major increase. The estimate of 65 gallons per day per person seems unreasonable. I'm very concerned about the water, Chris Tadevich: My property is located northwest of the proposed development. We have a 600' well, that drawers water at %: gallon per minute, The neighborhood varies greatly, though, My concern is with the 65 gallon estimate, I used with work with community wells in California, and average consumption was 45,000 gallons per month, mainly for landscaping. I'm concerned about the homeowner restrictions for the landowners regarding landscaping and lawn maintenance in the development, since they will be upper income and will use more water to keep their lawns nice. I question the woodland accuracy. There is over 100' of old trees; and these plans do not seem to accurately show that. I'd like to understand how the woodland areas will be protected, and if encroachment will occur.. Also, the developer talked about trails, to encourage people to enjoy the forests. While I appreciate that, what type of requirements will be in place to maintain control of the open space areas? Open access space can cause problems with regard to the neighboring activities and disruption of the property. Could there be some type of fencing, or some method to maintain some level of control of the people using the space? Renee Price-Saunders: With regard to the public access, I had asked previously if this azea was open to the public, I understood that the trails would be used only by the homeowners, not for public use. Chris Tadevich: It would be Homeowner's Association land, but there would not necessarily be control over that space if it goes out to the frontage road, There would be an encouragement to go off into the wooded areas, which could attract a nuisance. Renee Price-Saunders Would people have a place to park to access the trail?
