Whitney Watson: Cy, if there are not hydrants currently, in those neighborhoods, can that be a condition that we could 989 attach to this, the installation of hydrants… 990 991 Jim Parker: It is a condition that we would accept if the Town of Hillsborough would allow it. 992 993 Cy Stober: I think that condition is acceptable, recommend that hydrants be provided along water lines that meet town 994 standards with town approval, I think it is an acceptable condition. 995 996 Whitney Watson: If public utilities are extended from Hillsborough, could you talk about the disruption the neighborhoods 997 would incur as trenching and installation work occurs? 998 999 Jim Parker: It is typical construction, a water line might take 2-3 weeks barring weather, it is a 12-inch water line, 4 foot 1000 deep, and it would proceed rather quickly. The sewer line on 70 Business would take longer it would run up the South 1001 side of the highway, it would stay within the right of way, negotiating some driveways, mailboxes and things like that. It is 1002 a deeper line, it would require a little longer time, it might be a month and a half- 2 months, barring weather. There is a 1003 lot of traffic on 70 so it would take longer to install it. 1004 1005 Whitney Watson: I have a question about the timeline for construction of the athletic fields. I see that there is a 4-5 year 1006 timeline for construction of the schools, a similar timeline is in the packet for the athletic fields, is that correct. 1007 1008 Jim Parker: I don’t recall any timelines for the fields themselves. We are rezoning these properties. They will become 3 1009 or 4 properties. It is one property now, it will become 3 or 4 parcels. One for each school, one for the ball fields, tennis 1010 courts, we are ….access to these parcels and we are getting them rezoned which is step one in being able to develop 1011 those parcels as you have seen on your conceptual layout. The supporters for HYAA and the tennis supporters, it will be 1012 up to them to invest and make this happen. We are laying this out for them in order to further their dream. It will require 1013 fundraising, it will require working, them getting their plan together to make this a reality. They can’t raise money, make 1014 investment, without a piece of land that everybody knows where they are going. I hope that answered your question. 1015 1016 Whitney Watson: It sort of does. Those fields could potentially lay fallow for as much as 10 years while the entities are 1017 seeking to raise money. 1018 1019 Jim Parker: They could stay wooded for years, that is correct. 1020 1021 Patrick Byker: But the use can’t change. 1022 1023 Whitney Watson: So the school owned athletic fields, 2 soccer fields, they are multi use and could be for lacrosse or 1024 similar sports? Those would be built at the same pace with the school? 1025 1026 Jim Parker: Yes, that is the high school property. 1027 1028 Whitney Watson: So, the soccer fields, would those be lit for after dark use since they are not the public areas? 1029 1030 Jim Parker: Those are not intended to be lit. The only thing that could possibly be lit could be the tennis courts because 1031 typically there is a lot of tennis played in the evenings. Of course we would have to comply with the comprehensive plan, 1032 the UDO, and your guidelines for lighting, staying on site and there has to be sufficient lighting in the parking lot. All 1033 those things can be controlled with shielding and angles and not over lighting. 1034 1035 Whitney Watson: What about parking lots, I know that was mumbled in the background. The parking lots around the 1036 athletic facilities and the schools, would they have lighting at night? 1037 1038 Patrick Byker: It’s a UDO requirement. 1039 1040 Whitney Watson: And that would fall under the same requirements as control? 1041 1042 Patrick Byker: Yes sir. 1043 23
