This pertains mostly to the bigger projects that <br /> 34 can take 5 to 8 years to complete. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Randy Marshall: Most are simply text revisions and not significant revisions, do you anticipate anything that will be <br /> 37 controversial that we should discuss? <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Christopher Sandt: We are dropping the requirement for an SCM maintenance guarantee. What we ran into was the <br /> 40 legality that we can't take lead on performing work on private property. From a staff level we don't have the manpower to <br /> 41 track that. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Patrick Mallett: We have a good solid ordinance but there are conflicts and what we are proposing is eliminating a lot of <br /> 44 the confusion and matching up with the state. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 David Blankfard: I still think 3 years is a little long to start moving dirt. When does Wake County and Durham County <br /> 47 have to get started? <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Patrick Mallett: It varies, in Cary, for example, it's when land disturbing activity actually starts versus the preconstruction <br /> 50 meeting. <br /> 51 <br /> 52 David Blankfard: Does anyone else on the Board have a problem with 3 years? <br /> 1 <br />
