Approved 3/5/14 <br />4 <br />David Lazzo: If we are not part of the existing homeowners, we would set up our own. 163 <br /> 164 <br />Susan Huffman: When you say the runoff will go into the Eno River, it has to go through the pond that is bordered 165 <br />by Rapids Lane homes on the west side in Pleasant Green. I have heard from the homeowners in the past that 166 <br />drainage area at the end of the pond going into the river hasn’t been kept open and it backs up into their crawl 167 <br />spaces. If you decrease impervious by having more impervious and having more runoff going into the streams 168 <br />leading into the Eno, you have to work on keeping that channel open or it will back up. 169 <br /> 170 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: The problem is that the water way that runs and feeds that pond is not cleared enough and the 171 <br />pond backs up. 172 <br /> 173 <br />Susan Huffman: I think it is at the end where the pond dumps into the river. 174 <br /> 175 <br />Lisa Stuckey: Whose responsibility is that? 176 <br /> 177 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: At this point, we can take that comment and have the planning department be aware and look at 178 <br />what they can do. 179 <br /> 180 <br />David Lazzo: The ponds are designed for the flow that runs off the property to be exactly as it is today. 181 <br /> 182 <br />Terry Boylan: This is a requirement by state law. 183 <br /> 184 <br />Susan Tilley: In addition to being concerned about Paper Birch as people who live on that road, we are very 185 <br />concerned about sight lines for people coming around that curve. Has there been any thought to changing the 186 <br />entrance to that neighborhood onto Pleasant Green which as opposed to Paper Birch? 187 <br /> 188 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: For my edification Paper Birch is not DOT maintained? But the plan is that it will be DOT 189 <br />maintained? 190 <br /> 191 <br />Terry Boylan: It is in the process of DOT accepting that. 192 <br /> 193 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Is Paper Birch Road a cul-de-sac? 194 <br /> 195 <br />Terry Boylan: Yes. As far as access onto Paper Birch that is the best location site distance wise. It would not have 196 <br />been feasible to access the neighborhood from Pleasant Green Road. We would have to cross 130 foot buffer. 197 <br /> 198 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: You already have a crossing over that stream on Paper Birch and if you come in off Paper Birch 199 <br />you would be using that. If you went to Pleasant Green, there would be a second crossing across that waterway. 200 <br /> 201 <br />Terry Boylan: Right. 202 <br /> 203 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Is Willett a regular size road, private road? 204 <br /> 205 <br />Michael Harvey: State maintained. 206 <br /> 207 MOTION by Maxecine Mitchell to approve Planning Director’s recommendation. Seconded by Buddy Hartley. 208 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 209 <br /> 210 AGENDA ITEM : ADJOURNMENT 211 212 MOTION: made by Lisa Stuckey to adjourn. Seconded by Tony Blake. 213 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 214 <br /> <br />50
