APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS 5.1.24 <br /> 298 Phil Koch: Yeah. There's nothing that we could do north of the stream because we simply can't access <br /> 299 it, but even on the southern part of the stream that Duke Power easement is going to act as our hard break from <br /> 300 going back there with any kind of lot, or any kind of structure. <br /> 301 <br /> 302 Lamar Proctor: So, this plan, as it's presented, will be like the final development for this parcel. <br /> 303 <br /> 304 Phil Koch: Yes. That's the intent of the Concept Plan is to give you. You're looking at probably about <br /> 305 90 percent of what this layout is going to end up being. The other 10 percent are little things that would have to <br /> 306 change just as we work through design. <br /> 307 <br /> 308 Lamar Proctor: And the green spaces on each individual parcel, I assume that there's regulations within the <br /> 309 HOA that prohibit development of those or building of sheds or things. Like how does that all work? <br /> 310 <br /> 311 Phil Koch: The green spaces that are shown there are representative of the septic areas that are in <br /> 312 there. <br /> 313 <br /> 314 Lamar Proctor: So you can't do anything with it. <br /> 315 <br /> 316 Phil Koch: Well,you don't want to do anything in there. You know, if a lot actually has more septic area <br /> 317 than is required for that lot, somebody could possibly put an accessory dwelling in there, but they would have to <br /> 318 still have septic space to accommodate that. I mean, that would be the only structures that I can think of, some <br /> 319 kind of an accessory dwelling or shed. <br /> 320 <br /> 321 Statler Gilfillen: Did you individually do the septic check each in front of those? <br /> 322 <br /> 323 Phil Koch: These septic soils were originally identified by Alan Clapp. He's pretty knowledgeable on <br /> 324 this. He's way more knowledgeable than I am, but we feel pretty comfortable that the space that's allotted for the <br /> 325 septic provides for three to five bedroom homes throughout that area. <br /> 326 <br /> 327 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair, if I may, I just want to remind you of what this is tonight. So,to Mr. Proctor's point <br /> 328 on Stroud's Creek and the continued dialogue between the Department of Environment Agricultural Parks and <br /> 329 Recreation about the possible trails networks and so on, so, this is the Concept Plan. It's not the Preliminary <br /> 330 Plat. You can make a recommendation to the applicant. You can also make a recommendation to the Board of <br /> 331 Commissioners, external to the entire subdivision process on a possible partnership or a role for DEAPR to have <br /> 332 in either preserving and protecting or minimally developing that area for public access. So, that would be just <br /> 333 initiated by this Board. It would need a separate motion and so forth, but when this comes back as a Preliminary <br /> 334 Plat,just as a point of process, I would just offer you that guidance. There are things within the Major Subdivision <br /> 335 review process that you can interact with the applicant on, but there's also maybe a recommendation about a <br /> 336 significant resource that you may want to make a separate recommendation to the Board on, so just offering that <br /> 337 feedback. <br /> 338 <br /> 339 Chris Johnston: Our purpose isn't to make suggestions to the applicant. It's more to approve or deny based on <br /> 340 UDO conformance and that sort of thing. We're not here to do the design. We can make suggestions, but in <br /> 341 terms of what we're here to do, it either fits or it doesn't. <br /> 342 Marilyn Carter: The UDO requires a Neighborhood Information Meeting which appears to have been well <br /> 343 attended, and so I'm interested to know at that meeting what was the primary feedback? What specific actions, <br /> 344 if any, were taken as a result of that feedback at that meeting? <br /> 345 <br /> 346 Phil Koch: The majority of the design work in all honesty was pretty much in relation to comments from <br /> 347 the DAC. The biggest thing that came up again,well there were two things, stormwater,which always comes up <br />
