Approved 9/2/2020 334 335 Craig Benedict: That's correct. 336 337 Jared Jurkiewicz: My name is Jared Jurkiewicz; I live down Davis Road as well just past the New Hope Subdivision. 338 I'm actually in the Windsong Subdivision, which is a tenth of a mile from them. I am also the president of the 339 homeowners association for the Windsong Subdivision representing approximately 15 households on this call and 1 340 would just like us all to go on record saying that we oppose making these changes here all of us are extremely 341 concerned about the detrimental effects it will have to our community, to the traffic on Davis and to the overall 342 lifestyle of the area. It has been summarized by Franklin and several others beforehand that many of us moved out 343 here specifically because it was a rural area and we wanted to be outside of the city. We did not come here to 344 suddenly have a massive manufacturing facility and warehouse district pop up in our back yards. A lot of us are 345 incredibly unhappy about this and I don't know if it is true or not but I know it has been discussed among people here 346 as we feel like this is being snuck in and hidden with the things such as the signs that are unreadable on the road 347 unless you stop and endanger your life to read them. That the stuff is being done very under the table and sort of an 348 underhanded fashion and it is breeding a lot of resentment with the residents of this area. I can that's true for my 349 entire subdivision, it's come up in our homeowners association meetings several time now and as Franklin said, it 350 really feels like, even though the statute said or the creed said that Hillsborough residents come first, it feels like we 351 are all coming last. That this corporation, which is from out of state, is getting more preferential treatment than the 352 2000+citizens that live here and that's pretty much my entire comment. Thank you. 353 354 Hunter Spitzer: New question, I know that the Town is planning to expand sewer service area to the north of this 355 parcel that's in question right now and they will provide services to the proposed RTLP development but I remember 356 reading the plan that they're also planning a long term vision to build a sewer loop that will return back across 86 and 357 1 wondered if the Town needs this area to complete that project? 358 359 Craig Benedict: Tom, I can handle that one. The loop that they would be providing would be for a water system and 360 not a sewer system. So it's likely that in order to get the fire flows for development of this type, that a loop would 361 occur back from 1-40 near the service road through the development and back out to Old 86 where there is presently 362 a large water line in 86 now. As far as the sewer system, this area even this additional 12 acre area and the other 363 roughly 70 acres on the east side all flows by gravity naturally to the sewer systems within Hillsborough. That's why 364 this both could be served easily by the sewer system and also water main loop that would go back to the existing 365 facilities along Old 86. 366 367 Hunter Spitzer: Right,the Town doesn't necessarily need this area to complete the water loop. 368 369 Craig Benedict: There's multiple engineering solutions. One of them would be a loop system so it's something that's 370 being explored to provide those fire flows that are necessary. 371 372 David Blankfard: I think the other way they could do it is to have a fire pump inside each room and each building 373 could generate the flows that they would need for a sprinkler system but those are costly. 374 375 Bob Bundschuh: My name is Bob Bundschuh; I also live in New Hope Springs, a couple of miles down Davis. I'll try 376 to keep this to this particular amendment. The first question I have is when did Hillsborough actually approve this? 377 You said that this is the next step the County has to then follow suit but why now? What made it pertinent this month 378 to actually start doing this and is it related to the second part of the agenda? Looking at your first five slides, you 379 looked at all the areas that are slated for development, there are a lot of areas that are slated for development, 380 already zoned for development and aren't developed yet. So why the push to do this right now, why don't we wait 381 until we actually let the demand start catching up with the supply. Or as some people have said is this a quick way to 382 get this kind of rezoned and then call it the master plan which back when Settler's Point was going on this was phase 383 3 and some type of retirement place and we're going to go ahead and table that as kind of a negotiation tactic that 384 was used back then. So why is it suddenly become a thing to, it's not a rezoning but we're going to match it up with 385 the master plan for the Suburban Office. The second one is the 12 acre parcel at the northwest corner, it's kind of 386 funny that it is connected to the redrawing of the lines to say,we need that little 12 acre parcel to become part of this 387 complex across the way. So we had 89 acres and 12 of it is across the street. Is it really realistic that someone 388 would actually go in and get that 12 acres, develop it you said, a walkable office building without drive up traffic or is 389 that a way to let's get this little corner across the street, and Hunter even eluded to it, do we have to do it in the right
