Approved 11/01/2017 16 basis. If it were to reach that limit, and the capacity was not there to reach the next site plan, the developer will have 792 to pay to expand the capacity. 793 794 Paul Guthrie said that he asked the questions because some years ago he was involved in the funding and building 795 of some 200 community treatment plants in another state and provided a water supply. The biggest trap was when 796 developers came with grand designs when they heard there was land available, and then the community got stuck 797 with building a new facility without recourse to keep money out. The result was great burdens on the small 798 communities without great capacity ability. 799 800 Jim Parker responded that he appreciated the comment and that as Mr. Guthrie knew, there are good officials 801 working on these issues that will not let a scenario like what he just described happen. He noted a water line (16 802 inch) in the right-of-way off Old NC 86 that has been serving Hillsborough from OWASA for years. It is now becoming 803 Hillsborough’s to meter. The sewer line being put in will be 12 inches in diameter. There has been some planning and 804 sizing of the lines for the areas in the EDD, with the anticipation of a certain volume being generated from the land 805 uses. 806 807 David Blankfard asked about the neighborhood meetings that Mr. Parker held separately from the Planning 808 Department. How did it go? 809 810 Jim Parker thanked him for asking that. He said that they have held 3 neighborhood meetings: September 2016, 811 August 2017 and September 2017. The meetings have been generally well attended. At the first meeting, they mostly 812 talked about the area itself since they did not have specific plans together at the time. There were questions from 813 adjacent property owners that live outside of and south of this property. These neighbors have not come back to 814 subsequent meetings. There have been concerns over types of uses, traffic, but generally, no concerns from 815 individual property owners with specific things they wanted from the developers. The attendees have been well-816 informed and he said that he and his partners have listened to them. 817 818 Tony Blake asked if in the project would expand in the future if additional adjacent properties became available. 819 820 Jim Parker said that they have reached out to most every property owner in the area and offered to buy their property 821 to make it part of the development. The properties in the development are a result of property owners selling their lots 822 to Mr. Parker’s group. 823 824 Tony Blake responded that he sees the challenge facing the County that there are no big areas for development, just 825 segmented properties. 826 827 Jim Parker said that other EDDs look similar; it’s just the way it is. There are a lot of little properties that need to be 828 amassed to do a development. 829 830 Michael Harvey made a point of clarification. He said that if the development secured additional property, the Settler’s 831 Point Master Plan would have to be amended to add the additional properties into the proposal, which would initiate 832 another public hearing process. If Settler’s Point is approved without District 3 and District 3 becomes possible to 833 develop later on, the developer will have to go through an entire new process to do so as well. 834 835 Lydia Wegman asked for clarification. If the Board tabled District 3 this evening, there would not be a need for an 836 entirely new process, unless District 3 is withdrawn. 837 838 Michael Harvey said that this is correct and added that if District 3 were to come back to the Board but there is no 839 movement forward on the components still needed for it to be viable, the Board may recommend that it is denied, and 840 it would have to go through the process again as well. 841 842 Jim Parker said that they are supportive of Staff’s recommendation. 843 844
