Approved 5/1/19 Adam Beeman questioned the expected size of the homes.103 104 Tim Smith related that they expect to build 4 to 5 bedroom homes depending on the individual lot soils and sizes.105 106 Randy Marshall asked if the project would be adding stub outs for future development107 108 Tim Smith responded that they would not be adding them because the adjacent properties were not likely to be 109 developed.110 111 Pat Mallett indicated the County staff was not recommending creation of stub outs to serve adjacent properties. This 112 was due to a combination of factors, most notable surrounding development patterns, topography, and concerns over 113 impacting existing water features.114 115 There was general discussion on the potential environmental impacts of roadways crossing water features.116 117 Hunter Spitzer asked if they would consider making the internal road into a complete loop for the convenience of the 118 property owners.119 120 Tim Smith replied that the topography and reduction to the size of the lots made it undesirable. To do a loop street 121 system would actually require more land disturbing activity and impact the existing grade potentially creating 122 stormwater control issues.123 124 Lydia Wegman asked if the open space was going to be available to the property owners to use.125 126 Tim Smith asserted that all the open space was available for all of the residents who would own property within 127 Fairway Hills and that for the most part it is wooded and would remain so with mulch paths etc. Mr. Smith stressed 128 any trails development within the open space would not be available for non-property owner access.129 130 David Blankford asked if staff and Mr. Smith could provide additional details on the potential stormwater needs for the 131 project.132 133 Pat Mallett reminded the Board the property was located within the Lower Eno Protected Watershed Protection 134 Overlay district. Project disturbing more than 20,000 square feet of land area are required to submit and receive 135 approval of an erosion control plan. Projects disturbing more than 21,780 square feet of land area are required to 136 submit and receive approval of a stormwater plan. Fairway Hills will require both erosion control and stormwater 137 permit review and approval. The Concept Plan denotes the location of anticipated stormwater facilities. Mr. Mallet 138 reminded the Board erosion control and stormwater plans would be submitted prior to the commencement of land 139 disturbing activity assuming the project was, ultimately, approved.140 141 Tim Smith indicated the project involved centrally located stormwater facilities. These stormwater control measures 142 would address the overall development of the project. Development on individual parcels may also require the 143 property owner to develop appropriate stormwater control measures as well.144 145 There was general discussion.146 147 Lydia Wegman asked if there were any comments or questions from the public.148 149 Linda Nathansen expressed concerns on multiple issues regarding the development and request that there be testing 150 of the wells done for the neighbors that could potentially be negatively impacted so that if in the future there is a 151 problem the property owners have proof that it was not a problem before the development. She requested that no 152 use of round-up or similar pesticides be allowed to be used and expressed concerns about run off and stormwater 153
