47 <br />Renee Price-Saunders: Will this be a gated community? <br />.Jack Smyre: No. <br />.Tay Bryan: Isn't there a proposed greenway in the area? <br />Eddie Kirk: The County owns some greenway already, and this dedication will extend it, <br />Brian Dobyns: The baseline documentation from the Triangle Land Conservancy shows a trail <br />currently exists from Neville Road, and the character of that trail, is that it is not a public trail. It <br />is in people's back yards, and there isn't any place along Neville Road that promotes access or <br />use, The Triangle Land Conservancy feels that this is a easement designed to protect natural <br />areas and floodplains, and not for public use. <br />Renee Price-Saunders: What about the soils on Lots 1, 2, and 15? They are near the streams. <br />Have you already reviewed these locations? <br />.Tack Smyre: The County has already done the testing for septic areas outside of the stream <br />buffers. <br />.Jeff Schmitt: Why is the Staff proposing E-.3? <br />Eddie Kirk: It is to present an access to the dedicated area. <br />.Teff Schmitt: How does that f t with Brian's comments? It seems apparent that there with the <br />access off Neville Road, there is currently access, <br />Sam Lasris: I seem to recall a discussion about an alternate route out of the subdivision. <br />Brian Dobyns: I believe we were looking at an access between lots 7 and 8, but there was <br />nothing between 9, 10 and 11 in the original concept plan, and we were suggesting something to <br />the west, Now that has been provided,,just in a different location, <br />Eddie Kirk: The Health Department provided information in helping to determine these <br />Pedestrian Open Space Areas. <br />Teff Schmitt: Where could citizens get access to the trail today? Neville Road? <br />Brian Dobyns: People can use the trail, but there is no parking. There is no goal to make this a <br />public trail system, <br />Renee Price-Saunders: What would prevent someone from parking on Westhampton Way to use <br />the trail? <br />.Tack Smyre: It could be done, but it would be considered private property. <br />2 <br />
