51 <br />Tom Heffner: FedEx will be encouraged to use the subdivision streets rather than the private road. 52 <br /> 53 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Is that road going to be taken off the GIS system as a road that segment there? If you 54 <br />don’t it would show up for emergency responders as a valid route they could take. 55 <br /> 56 <br />Craig Benedict: Probably addressing off that road and emergency services has a point on Erwin Road 57 <br />where they expect to see that road. They will have an asterisk on it because of what has happened around 58 <br />it but my thought process is that if the address is off that road indicate the point of entry for those lots, it will 59 <br />remain on the GIS system. 60 <br /> 61 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: They are currently switching to a system of closely dispatch that looks for all possible 62 <br />roads and routes and there is no mechanism to show if the road is full access or not. 63 <br /> 64 <br />Michael Harvey: You will probably see that occur if the project is approved and recorded. This will remain 65 <br />as an easement (Mr. Harvey was pointing to a map of the identified easement area) but the road name will 66 <br />be removed. 67 <br /> 68 <br />Paul Guthrie: On the open space buffering outside the lot, what is going to be the legal long-term 69 <br />ownership and legal responsibility for that property? 70 <br /> 71 <br />Tom Heffner: It would be owned by a homeowner’s association as incorporated body. Their legal 72 <br />documents would require their ownership and their maintenance of the property and then in turn there 73 <br />would be homeowner’s dues paid by the people living in the subdivision that would fund that work on an 74 <br />ongoing basis. 75 <br /> 76 <br />Michael Harvey: If this is approved with a flexible development layout, there will be provisions in the 77 <br />resolution of approval as there are in all major subdivision based on the flexibility and design guidelines to 78 <br />preclude the clearing of the trees within the dedicated open space except for any activity recognized by the 79 <br />board such as the installation of a trial or recreation area. 80 <br /> 81 <br />Paul Guthrie: My question was about long term liability and things that take place on that and the ability or 82 <br />not of that being removed from open space. 83 <br /> 84 <br />Michael Harvey: This area could not be removed from open space unless the applicant came back to the 85 <br />county to request a modification of the major subdivision. I will state that we would probably object to it 86 <br />being removed because that is how it was originally approved and we are not interested in seeing 87 <br />dedicated open space turned into developed area. 88 <br /> 89 <br />James Lea: Does Lot 9 actually take up part of the pond? 90 <br /> 91 <br />Tom Heffner: Yes. The pond size will be modified. Since it is not a spring fed pond, in the summer when 92 <br />we have less rain, it drops significantly so my goal is that we will reduce the physical area of the pond to try 93 <br />to have a more stable water level. The line is showing the maximum size of the pond. 94 <br /> 95 <br />James Lea: What happens when you have flooding with the pond? 96 <br /> 97 <br />Tom Heffner: Earth Centric engineering is doing storm water plan we have had several meetings on how to 98 <br />handle that. We can increase the storm water flow downstream to the properties over to the right. We are 99 <br /> 50
