Approved & T23 <br /> 988 <br /> 989 Jim Parker : It is a condition that we would accept if the Town of Hillsborough would allow it . <br /> 990 <br /> 991 Cy Stober: I think that condition is acceptable , recommend that hydrants be provided along water lines that meet town <br /> 992 standards with town approval , I think it is an acceptable condition . <br /> 993 <br /> 994 Whitney Watson : If public utilities are extended from Hillsborough , could you talk about the disruption the neighborhoods <br /> 995 would incur as trenching and installation work occurs ? <br /> 996 <br /> 997 Jim Parker : It is typical construction , a water line might take 2- 3 weeks barring weather, it is a 124ch water line , 4 foot <br /> 998 deep , and it would proceed rather quickly . The sewer line on 70 Business would take longer it would run up the South <br /> 999 side of the highway , it would stay within the right of way , negotiating some driveways , mailboxes and things like that . It is <br /> 1000 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 <br /> 1001 lot of traffic on 70 so it would take longer to install it . <br /> 1002 <br /> 1003 Whitney Watson : I have a question about the timeline for construction of the athletic fields . I see that there is a 4 - 5 year <br /> 1004 timeline for construction of the schools , a similar timeline is in the packet for the athletic fields , is that correct . <br /> 1005 <br /> 1006 Jim Parker: I don ' t recall any timelines for the fields themselves . We are rezoning these properties . They will become 3 <br /> 1007 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 <br /> 1008 courts , we are . . . . access to these parcels and we are getting them rezoned which is step one in being able to develop <br /> 1009 those parcels as you have seen on your conceptual layout . The supporters for HYAA and the tennis supporters , it will be <br /> 1010 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 <br /> loll fundraising , it will require working , them getting their plan together to make this a reality . They can ' t raise money, make <br /> 1012 investment, without a piece of land that everybody knows where they are going . I hope that answered your question . <br /> 1013 <br /> 1014 Whitney Watson : It sort of does . Those fields could potentially lay fallow for as much as 10 years while the entities are <br /> 1015 seeking to raise money . <br /> 1016 <br /> 1017 Jim Parker : They could stay wooded for years , that is correct. <br /> 1018 <br /> 1019 Patrick Byker : But the use can ' t change . <br /> 1020 <br /> 1021 Whitney Watson : So the school owned athletic fields , 2 soccer fields , they are multi use and could be for lacrosse or <br /> 1022 similar sports ? Those would be built at the same pace with the school ? <br /> 1023 <br /> 1024 Jim Parker: Yes , that is the high school property . <br /> 1025 <br /> 1026 Whitney Watson : So , the soccer fields , would those be lit for after dark use since they are not the public areas ? <br /> 1027 <br /> 1028 Jim Parker: Those are not intended to be lit. The only thing that could possibly be lit could be the tennis courts because <br /> 1029 typically there is a lot of tennis played in the evenings . Of course we would have to comply with the comprehensive plan , <br /> 1030 the UDO , and your guidelines for lighting , staying on site and there has to be sufficient lighting in the parking lot . All <br /> 1031 those things can be controlled with shielding and angles and not over lighting . <br /> 1032 <br /> 1033 Whitney Watson : What about parking lots , I know that was mumbled in the background . The parking lots around the <br /> 1034 athletic facilities and the schools , would they have lighting at night? <br /> 1035 <br /> 1036 Patrick Byker: It' s a UDO requirement . <br /> 1037 <br /> 1038 Whitney Watson : And that would fall under the same requirements as control ? <br /> 1039 <br /> 1040 Patrick Byker: Yes sir. <br /> 1041 <br />
