4~ <br />Tom Heffner: With other subdivisions where Hameewner Associations own land, there are lots <br />of homes that allow parking, and I'm not aware of any problems with this, <br />MOTION by Jeff Schmitt to approve the preliminary plan for the Westhampton subdivision, <br />with the exception that item E-3 be deleted, Seconded by Brian Dobyns, <br />Vo'rE: Unanimous <br />Kip Weinert (citizen): I live on Carl Drive nearby, and am concerned about the water. As a part <br />of the approval, you might want to consider adding an aquifer study requirements to make <br />certain that the development can sustain itself, and not affect the neighbor's water supply. <br />Michelle Kempinski: Have you experienced any water concerns? <br />Kip Weinert: I have not personally, but neighbors in Robinswood have had some bad quality, as <br />well as in surrounding areas, <br />Brian Dobyns: There is an Orange County map showing aquifer resources, Perhaps we could <br />use this map in looking at future subdivisions. Also, we could look at the 2001 and 1996 <br />groundwater studies, <br />Renee Price-Saunders: We have been addressing water resources in this Board, and <br />unfortunately, right now there is little we do, <br />ICip Weinert: Could the Commissioners consider this? <br />.Tay Bryan: They can consider at the time this is presented for their approval, if you wish to <br />address this, <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Not only do we not have the authority, there is no degree of confidence that <br />adjacent well situations could be affected by the subdivision. <br />Sandy Quinn: Many citizens have brought up water concerns in the past, While we do not have <br />the power or authority to do anything, it's important that we continue showing our interest as <br />reflected irr our minutes. <br />Vivian Phillips: I live on Carl Drive, Since I first learned about the proposed subdivision at the <br />Neighborhood Information Meeting, few people were aware of it, and through ward of mouth, <br />are getting concerned about the water supply situation. It does affect large neighborhoods. I <br />suggest publicizing potential developments, especially in protected watershed, Otherwise, who <br />would protect the neighbors? <br />,Tay Bryan: Is there a difference in the advertising for this meeting as opposed to when we <br />reviewed the concept plan? <br />
