trying to utilize the pond as a storm water retention device so in maximum flow areas, the pond will serve to 100 <br />retain storm water so it will be release more gradually after the storm event is over. 101 <br /> 102 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: It looks like the drainage to the pond is out the center. Is that through a drain pipe? 103 <br /> 104 <br />Tom Heffner: I don’t know. 105 <br /> 106 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If it is, you should still have a cut away for hurricane events. 107 <br /> 108 <br />Tom Heffner: That will be part of the design. 109 <br /> 110 <br />Michael Harvey: I would like to remind the board that on pages 34 and 35, we have provide the board with 111 <br />an email exchange from David Sykes and Jason Shepard of Orange County Emergency Services as well 112 <br />as Mike Tapp who is the deputy chief of the local volunteer fire department indicating there are two existing 113 <br />water sites that would support fire suppression activity. The question was asked, does this pond need to 114 <br />be turned into a water source. Mr. Tapp has indicated it does need to be there as there are existing water 115 <br />sources they will take advantage of. We did not require a stand pipe for this pond. 116 <br /> 117 <br />Lydia Wegman: How many properties currently use Shakori Trail as an access point? 118 <br /> 119 <br />Tom Heffner: There are two properties. One property has two houses and the other has one building. 120 <br /> 121 <br />Lydia Wegman: There is no expectation of expansion? 122 <br /> 123 <br />Tom Heffner: Those people probably do have subdivision rights there. 124 <br /> 125 <br />Lydia Wegman: They would have rights? 126 <br /> 127 <br />Tom Heffner: Exactly. 128 <br /> 129 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I take it the threshold for not having some type of recreational, are we going to be faced 130 <br />with someone saying I want to put a pool but I don’t have enough impervious surface to do anything? 131 <br /> 132 <br />Michael Harvey: This parcel of property is not located in a protected or critical watershed overlay district so 133 <br />there is no impervious limit. There are open space requirements on the lots but nothing that would 134 <br />preclude them from putting in a pool. The applicant is providing walkways but they are electing to do a 135 <br />payment-in-lieu to the County allowing for regional park development. In other words the applicant will give 136 <br />the county money that will go to developing parks in the area. 137 <br /> 138 <br />James Lea: You said there would be walkways, does that mean sidewalks and if so, who maintains those 139 <br />sidewalks? 140 <br /> 141 <br />Tom Heffner: The homeowners association. I do a meandering concrete sidewalk behind the DOT street 142 <br />right of way. I am going to do sidewalk on both sides and then another section of sidewalk will come down 143 <br />toward the pond. The combination of sidewalks on both sides will give about a mile of walking trail. 144 <br /> 145 <br />Unidentified Female: Are these houses essentially like the ones in Creekwood? 146 <br /> 147 <br />Tom Heffner: Based on the probable lot size will be. 148 <br /> 51
