The proposal within Orange County is for a 2-lot subdivision 84 on 70.79 acres (PIN 9757-51-3504) located in Bingham Township, south of the junction of Jones Ferry 85 Road and Ferguson Road, straddling the Orange County – Chatham County line. An Orange County 86 major subdivision review process is necessary for this subdivision because a new public road and open 87 space are proposed to be dedicated. The portion of the subdivision within Chatham County contains 88 128.39 acres and all 93 habitable lots will be in Chatham County. 89 Presenter: Molly Boyle, Planning II 90 91 Molly Boyle Presented the Pyewacket Subdivision Project Application Concept Plan 92 93 Warren Mitchell, Applicant for the Pyewacket Subdivision presented additional information to the Planning Board 94 95 David Blankfard: When Pyewacket comes out to Jones Ferry, where’s the house that is across the way. 96 97 Warren Mitchell: I think it’s directly across the street from the entrance. Several of these lots have homes on Jones Ferry. 98 99 David Blankfard: My concern is at night the cars are going to be putting their bright lights right into their front room. Was 100 that considered? 101 102 Warren Mitchell: No, I was really considering the wetlands, streams and the power poles on the property in finding the 103 best way out to Jones Ferry. 104 105 Whitney Watson: Is there a minimum output for the wells that would impact the development of Pyewacket? 106 107 Warren Mitchell: The only minimum I’m aware of is there has to be a minimum of two wells if you have over 49 houses on 108 a community system. I know Aqua would like to see 20 gallons per minute per well if you have 20 minimum per well that 109 would be 40 on two wells. That would probably be enough for 93 houses. 110 111 Whitney Watson: Is this going to be gated in some way off Jones Ferry? 112 8
