4(~ <br />Renee Price-Saunders: We are waiting to hear from Geoff Gledhill, County Attorney as to what <br />we can do about establishing thresholds for water usage. As we've seen from the various <br />presentations, this is a complicated subject. <br />Michelle Kempinski: Are there provisions for swapping impervious surface requirements? Is <br />that allowable and legal? <br />Bruce Ballenfine: We had a similar situation in Meadowmont. The developer was tackling the <br />issues of using the impervious requirements for all of all lots. With each building permit, the <br />cumulative impervious surface area is counted and recorded, so it can be determined by the <br />neighborhoods. There are situations when this could be of benefit. <br />Robert Davis: Impervious surface amounts need to be recorded on the final plat, and are redone <br />on each request. <br />Glenn Bowles: On a 2-acre lot, it's hard to hit 6%. The average impervious cover on 2-acre lots <br />in Orange county is less than 4% <br />Robert Davis: We don't encourage moving around the impervious limitations between <br />properties.. <br />.Tay Bryan: We can't solve that issue tonight. We may want to review the policy on impervious <br />surface sharing at a later time. <br />Bruce Ballentine: This is the third time this subdivision has been presented. We have made the <br />requested changes, and this is essentially the same as the approved concept plan. <br />Michelle Kempinski: Do we get to review the homeowner association covenants? <br />Robert Davis: The County Attomey has these and they are being reviewed to check for' conflicts. <br />.Jay Bryan: The Planning Board doesn't review these. <br />Renee Price-Saunders: The Carrboro review with trails and slopes, do we need to consider this? <br />Glenn Bowles: No. <br />Jay Bryan: Regarding the use of University Lake as a source of water, what needs to be done? <br />Bruce Ballentine: There are details relating to signage and traffic safety,. OWASA is outlining <br />the process. Is that a requirement for subdivisions in Orange County? I'm not sure why we're <br />being requested to do this, and it will be quite an expense. <br />Glenn Bowles: It was included in the Fire Marshal's comments. It is not a staff regulation but it <br />is encouraged if the Fire Marshal recommends it. <br />MOTION made by Craufurd Goodwin to accept the staff recommendations. Brian Dobyns <br />seconded. <br />VOTE: 9 ayes; 0 nay <br />
