She said she recalled that the open space on the left-hand side of the property <br /> would be leased to farmers and that there would be minimal infrastructure for community gardens. <br /> Dan Jewell said the first is still part of the proposal. He said there will be an operator to <br /> continue some type of agriculture, but also expand it in some way. He said that is absolutely still <br /> the intent. <br /> Keith Brown said the gardens will be designed for homeowners to have their own gardens. <br /> Commissioner Greene said those two items are very important to her. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked how the architectural review board works with the county. <br /> Cy Stober said that the plotting of lots, the road design, the landscaping and the amenities <br /> must all be provided as approved. He said that the design of the homes will be reserved <br /> exclusively for architectural review board. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that one concern the Board has stated is that these are public <br /> roads, and it will not be a gated community that is shut off from everyone else. She clarified that <br /> the comments about fencing are only for the individual lots. <br /> Cy Stober said perimeter fencing is included as a condition in the plan, but the other fence <br /> reference is for individual lots. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked about the gated access for emergency vehicles and how <br /> quickly it can open. <br /> Dan Jewell said all emergency services will have a key, as well as the operator of the <br /> farm, and the fire department. He said they have a universal key - that is a pair of bolt cutters - <br /> they can also use to get in. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked if the trails in the community would be public. <br /> Dan Jewell said the trails are intended for the benefit of the residents of the community <br /> and their guests. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said the information discussed the wells and water but not the <br /> septic systems. She asked how the septic systems will be set up to protect water quality and <br /> safety. <br />
