184 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 876 <br /> 877 Charity Kirk: So it's a moot point. <br /> 878 <br /> 879 Cy Stober: Correct. <br /> 880 <br /> 881 Steve Kaufmann: If you were to use septic on that site,would it infringe on any of the ballfields in terms of needing that <br /> 882 property for septic? <br /> 883 <br /> 884 Jim Parker:You have your package of soil analysis of the whole site and I think there is 8 acres that has been stipulated <br /> 885 that the school could be supported by. The ballfields on the school property, could be used as a septic innovative system <br /> 886 to absorb that. On each parcel if you note there are areas indicated for ....septic fields, so each parcel could have a <br /> 887 shared septic field from the entire development.There is more than enough acreage there for that. <br /> 888 <br /> 889 Charity Kirk:Again,we can't make any judgement on the septic system, right?Or say that we want something in that <br /> 890 regard.... <br /> 891 <br /> 892 Cy Stober: Hillsborough Utilities cannot be the basis for a vote. <br /> 893 <br /> 894 Charity Kirk: I understand that it can't be the basis for a vote but can we stipulate that they.... <br /> 895 <br /> 896 Cy Stober: No... <br /> 897 <br /> 898 Charity Kirk: Okay, so we can't do anything to say they have to use septic or they don't have to use septic. We can't say <br /> 899 that they need to have stormwater retention ponds or improved water... <br /> 900 <br /> 901 Cy Stober: So we have evaluated all that and they have met our standards, if there are additional reasonable <br /> 902 considerations related to the land use,that could be something to negotiate a condition on but my point was simply that <br /> 903 the health standards of the county reviews have been reviewed as provided by the applicant and they have been <br /> 904 reviewed on site plans as well as ....the materials that are in your packet, so that potential shared system was evaluated <br /> 905 by staff and the health department. <br /> 906 <br /> 907 Charity Kirk: But if the school wants city water,the school gets city water? <br /> 908 <br /> 909 Cy Stober: That would be a determination between the Town and the school. <br /> 910 <br /> 911 Overlapping conversations <br /> 912 <br /> 913 Cy Stober: We have a statute that we have acknowledged in your packet, the school buildings would be required to have <br /> 914 waste disposal and water, to get a certificate of compliance.They have a state law that requires an allocation of water <br /> 915 and sewer service for schools but the county would not be directly involved in the permitting or regulation.We would not <br /> 916 issue a CNC for the buildings,and we could not sign off on the zoning approval for the building construction until we <br /> 917 were sure that the water disposal could be served by those buildings. <br /> 918 <br /> 919 Charity Kirk: We work with the Town of Hillsborough... <br /> 920 <br /> 921 Beth Bronson: I would want to address the Town of Hillsborough to at least understand them better. <br /> 922 <br /> 923 Cy Stober: We are not a regulatory body when it comes to water or sewer for the Town of Hillsborough.We are when it <br /> 924 comes to well and septic. <br /> 925 <br /> 926 Steve Kaufmann: So this evening I heard a lot of concern from the neighbors about congestion, lights,well water for <br /> 927 themselves, but also a lot of enthusiasm from people who want to play tennis and softball,this is great and I'm hearing a <br /> 928 lot of"this is going to be a win-win situation"but it didn't feel like a win-win situation tonight. It felt like us against them all <br /> 929 night. How can we make this a win-win situation is my question to you?The reason I am asking is that I have heard that <br /> 930 phrase in tennis a number of times, "this is a win-win situation"so I like those situations so go ahead. <br />
