189 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1150 <br /> 1151 Patrick Byker:Absolutely.As of today,what happens in the future is to be determined. <br /> 1152 <br /> 1153 Lamar Proctor: I just wanted to clarify, because it seems like it's going to happen. <br /> 1154 <br /> 1155 Patrick Byker:This is something that our team has had to deal with on numerous sites across the Piedmont area of <br /> 1156 North Carolina. <br /> 1157 <br /> 1158 Lamar Proctor: It's a minor point, I just wanted to clarify that. I think Mr.Watson asked about the town's concern with <br /> 1159 insufficient flow. There was also concern about a mixed sewer/septic system. <br /> 1160 <br /> 1161 Jim Parker:The insufficient flow will be fixed with the addition of water tanks if necessary. I don't really know what the <br /> 1162 concern about mixed sewer/septic means.You have many lots across the street that have a combination of public water <br /> 1163 and conventional septic systems on their lots so, it is not uncommon to have water service and septic system. I don't <br /> 1164 know what that comment really means. <br /> 1165 <br /> 1166 Lamar Proctor: Hillsborough would be legally obligated to provide water and sewer and then you would pursue that <br /> 1167 because that is your right under North Carolina law. <br /> 1168 <br /> 1169 Jim Parker: I want to make sure that it is understood by the board, if Hillsborough provides water and sewer,the cost of <br /> 1170 providing that and all of the water and sewer lines would not be borne by the town. <br /> 1171 <br /> 1172 Charity Kirk: I am concerned about Hillsborough not wanting this project. Have you addressed any of their concerns <br /> 1173 since they unanimously said no to the project and since we last met 2 weeks ago? <br /> 1174 <br /> 1175 Patrick Byker:We evaluated how to build the project with well and septic in order to move forward without needing town <br /> 1176 utilities which I assume would address their concerns. <br /> 1177 <br /> 1178 Charity Kirk: But you are not telling them that you don't want their water if you are going to use the state law to get their <br /> 1179 water it sounds like. So that doesn't sound like you have addressed their concerns... <br /> 1180 <br /> 1181 Patrick Byker: I don't mean to speak for the Town of Hillsborough's attorney but there is a letter in the packet that <br /> 1182 states....so we are operating today on the premise that as of 10:01 April 19,we may well have to proceed using well and <br /> 1183 septic... <br /> 1184 <br /> 1185 Charity Kirk: But that is only if Hillsborough doesn't have the water. <br /> 1186 <br /> 1187 Patrick Byker:Well,they have the water....it's just if they will make it available to us. <br /> 1188 <br /> 1189 Charity Kirk: I am confused by that but I am going to let it go. <br /> 1190 <br /> 1191 Jim Parker: Can I make a comment? <br /> 1192 <br /> 1193 Charity Kirk: Yes, please. <br /> 1194 <br /> 1195 Jim Parker:You made a comment about the unanimous vote, it was not unanimous, it was 3-2 vote to not annex and the <br /> 1196 request was to be annexed and go through the town's process or to allow out of town connection and pay out of town <br /> 1197 rates which are about twice the rates that are paid by in town residents and the vote was 3-2. <br /> 1198 <br /> 1199 Charity Kirk: Okay,thank you for that clarification. So the recreational facilities,when this is parceled out,who is going to <br /> 1200 own the properties with the recreational facilities on them? <br /> 1201 <br /> 1202 Patrick Byker:We will wait until HYAA or Orange Tennis says they are ready to close, so it's up to the nonprofits to <br /> 1203 decide. <br /> 1204 <br />
