We project there will be 2 roadway crossings ( 1 perennial and 1 intermittent ) and 1 driveway crossing of an intermittent stream. The total impact of all 3 crossings is expected to be less than 150 feet of stream. Permits for these 3 crossings will be obtained prior to construction plat submission. All wetland impacts are expected to be less than 10,000 sf. The developer would like to wait and submit the 401/404 permit until the first plat process is completed. The 401/404 permit would be submitted with the construction plan application. In case the stream crossing locations are revised during the first plat process we would not have to revise or resubmit the 401 + 404 permits. CHATHAM COUNTY HISTORIC ASSOCIATION VISIT The developer met Bev Wiggins from the CCHA on the property. Bev took photographs of the property and made notes. Her email regarding her site visit is included with this document. The house and barns do not have any historical value and are all beyond repair or preservation and do not warrant either.
