pond as a storm water retention device so in maximum flow areas, the pond will serve to retain storm water so it will be 1 <br />release more gradually after the storm event is over. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: It looks like the drainage to the pond is out the center. Is that through a drain pipe? 4 <br /> 5 <br />Tom Heffner: I don’t know. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If it is, you should still have a cut away for hurricane events. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Tom Heffner: That will be part of the design. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Michael Harvey: I would like to remind the board that on pages 34 and 35, we have provide the board with an email 12 <br />exchange from David Sykes and Jason Shepard of Orange County Emergency Services as well as Mike Tapp who is 13 <br />the deputy chief of the local volunteer fire department indicating there are two existing water sites that would support 14 <br />fire suppression activity. The question was asked, does this pond need to be turned into a water source. Mr. Tapp has 15 <br />indicated it does need to be there as there are existing water sources they will take advantage of. We did not require a 16 <br />stand pipe for this pond. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Lydia Wegman: How many properties currently use Shakori Trail as an access point? 19 <br /> 20 <br />Tom Heffner: There are two properties. One property has two houses and the other has one building. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Lydia Wegman: There is no expectation of expansion? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Tom Heffner: Those people probably do have subdivision rights there. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Lydia Wegman: They would have rights? 27 <br /> 28 <br />Tom Heffner: Exactly. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I take it the threshold for not having some type of recreational, are we going to be faced with 31 <br />someone saying I want to put a pool but I don’t have enough impervious surface to do anything? 32 <br /> 33 <br />Michael Harvey: This parcel of property is not located in a protected or critical watershed overlay district so there is no 34 <br />impervious limit. There are open space requirements on the lots but nothing that would preclude them from putting in a 35 <br />pool. The applicant is providing walkways but they are electing to do a payment-in-lieu to the County allowing for 36 <br />regional park development. In other words the applicant will give the county money that will go to developing parks in 37 <br />the area. 38 <br /> 39 <br />James Lea: You said there would be walkways, does that mean sidewalks and if so, who maintains those sidewalks? 40 <br /> 41 <br />Tom Heffner: The homeowners association. I do a meandering concrete sidewalk behind the DOT street right of way. 42 <br />I am going to do sidewalk on both sides and then another section of sidewalk will come down toward the pond. The 43 <br />combination of sidewalks on both sides will give about a mile of walking trail. 44 <br /> 45 <br />Unidentified Female: Are these houses essentially like the ones in Creekwood? 46 <br /> 47 <br />Tom Heffner: Based on the probable lot size will be. 48 <br /> 49 <br />13
