Approved 7/1/2015 <br />4 <br /> 149 <br />Tom Heffner: That will be part of the design. 150 <br /> 151 <br />Michael Harvey: I would like to remind the board that on pages 34 and 35, we have provide the board with 152 <br />an email exchange from David Sykes and Jason Shepard of Orange County Emergency Services as well 153 <br />as Mike Tapp who is the deputy chief of the local volunteer fire department indicating there are two existing 154 <br />water sites that would support fire suppression activity. The question was asked, does this pond need to 155 <br />be turned into a water source. Mr. Tapp has indicated it does need to be there as there are existing water 156 <br />sources they will take advantage of. We did not require a stand pipe for this pond. 157 <br /> 158 <br />Lydia Wegman: How many properties currently use Shakori Trail as an access point? 159 <br /> 160 <br />Tom Heffner: There are two properties. One property has two houses and the other has one building. 161 <br /> 162 <br />Lydia Wegman: There is no expectation of expansion? 163 <br /> 164 <br />Tom Heffner: Those people probably do have subdivision rights there. 165 <br /> 166 <br />Lydia Wegman: They would have rights? 167 <br /> 168 <br />Tom Heffner: Exactly. 169 <br /> 170 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I take it the threshold for not having some type of recreational, are we going to be faced 171 <br />with someone saying I want to put a pool but I don’t have enough impervious surface to do anything? 172 <br /> 173 <br />Michael Harvey: This parcel of property is not located in a protected or critical watershed overlay district so 174 <br />there is no impervious limit. There are open space requirements on the lots but nothing that would 175 <br />preclude them from putting in a pool. The applicant is providing walkways but they are electing to do a 176 <br />payment-in-lieu to the County allowing for regional park development. In other words the applicant will give 177 <br />the county money that will go to developing parks in the area. 178 <br /> 179 <br />James Lea: You said there would be walkways, does that mean sidewalks and if so, who maintains those 180 <br />sidewalks? 181 <br /> 182 <br />Tom Heffner: The homeowners association. I do a meandering concrete sidewalk behind the DOT street 183 <br />right of way. I am going to do sidewalk on both sides and then another section of sidewalk will come down 184 <br />toward the pond. The combination of sidewalks on both sides will give about a mile of walking t rail. 185 <br /> 186 <br />Unidentified Female: Are these houses essentially like the ones in Creekwood? 187 <br /> 188 <br />Tom Heffner: Based on the probable lot size will be. 189 <br /> 190 <br />Unidentified Male: And the size of those houses will be? 191 <br /> 192 <br />Tom Heffner: I would guess will be between 4,000 to 6,000 feet. On restricted covenants, I tend to put a 193 <br />pretty low restrictive covenant number in. The minimum square footage will be 2,500 feet. 194 <br /> 195 <br />MOTION made by Lydia Wegman to approve the flexible development concept plan. Tony Blake 196 <br />seconded. 197
