Statler Gilfillen: Looking at the land as a practical matter, I'm looking at the end of the driveway, there's a 249 circle there. It's going to a pond, and it goes immediately to the owner's property's line. If somebody were 250 walking a dog back there were injured, an emergency vehicle had to get in, that pond would restrict their access 251 up to there. 252 253 Phil Koch: There's going to be some modifications and find a way out just from the standpoint of 254 addressing items with the County there, but honestly, there is room between that pond to actually have the trail 255 system come directly off that and still beside the property line there and have adequate width. 256 257 Delores Bailey: Were the work that the DOT did and the studies that they did, they were done during busy 258 times and slow times as well? 259 260 Cy Stober: The trip generation, they take a baseline and they look at peak volume, and so peak hours 261 are rush hour. I think it's 4 to 6 in the afternoon, and I can't remember if 7 to 9 or 6 to 8 in the morning, and then 262 that's when they generally look at road conditions, and then there's a baseline for off-peak conditions, and that's 263 how they calculate the volume on the road, the current traffic that's generated on the road. They put out the 264 rubber tubes, and they do that on a cycle. I think it's every 3 years. I don't know when Miller Road was last 265 counted. 266 267 Lamar Proctor: So, Minnick Road is the private road to the south. And that just remains a private road, and 268 then the Department of Environment identified Stroud’s Creek that runs along the north and the eastern edge of 269 the property. And it delineates it as highest conservation value, 10 of 10, so I'm just wondering if you could 270 describe what measures and how did you design this site plan to avoid interference with Stroud’s Creek and 271 preserve its biodiversity and integrity. 272 273 Phil Koch: So, they have a specific distance they prefer you to try stay off of that. We exceed that 274 in virtually every spot except for right at the very corner with where the one SCM is, SCM being structural or 275 stormwater control measure, that's by the cul-de-sac, and again, it may still not go into that distance with it's 276 finally designed. I overestimated in general the size of the SCMs because I typically take into account the 277 amount of water that we're required to hold, plus what I expect for back slopes. So, rather than turning around 278 and doing what a lot of people do and just take the amount of water, throw that on there and that's it. 279 280 Lamar Proctor: Are there trails back there, and will they be open to the public? 281 282 Phil Koch: There is nothing back there right now. The intent is work with the County. They have 283 already spoken someone in the County about this. Any trails that would go back there, we would work with the 284 County on where they should be placed in order to prevent any damage to wildlife, et cetera that might be back 285 there. 286 287 Lamar Proctor: I just imagined that as people move in with the surrounding houses that are there that that 288 space may actually get more use as walking trails, or low impact or – 289 290 Phil Koch: And that's probable. I mean, that's what has happened at my house as well. But again, the 291 one thing that helps here is the separation of the Duke Power easement of the lots from that area. It helps protect 292 that area because there's nothing they can do from a standpoint of building back that way, or creating anything 293 other than pedestrian traffic back there. 294 295 Lamar Proctor: So you're unable to develop or build on the north and the far eastern portion. 296 297 13
