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