<br /> 1117 Cy Stober: Well, because the other option would've been residential conditional district, but that doesn't
<br /> 1118 include the nonresidential features, because there's several outparcels that have primary uses that are completely
<br /> 1119 nonresidential. And when you are involving more than one primary housing type-so they have detached single
<br /> 1120 family homes,attached single family homes,which are also known as townhomes, and multi-family structures-the
<br /> 1121 Master Plan Development,just definition or description, lends itself exactly to that type of community,or that type of
<br /> 1122 conditional district.
<br /> 1123
<br /> 1124 Marilyn Carter: So just a quick follow-up then to confirm, if the community didn't have those mixed types of
<br /> 1125 housing opportunities,then it would be more appropriate to consider an agricultural residential cluster subdivision. Is
<br /> 1126 that correct?
<br /> 1127
<br /> 1128 Cy Stober: If it was entirely single-family residential homes with no nonresidential components or maybe
<br /> 1129 an incidental outparcel for a pool or something like that, then yes,this would be an R-CD application.
<br /> 1130
<br /> 1131 Marilyn Carter: Understand. So, a follow-on question has to do with family care facilities, and as someone
<br /> 1132 who is a primary caregiver for an elder, I'm very interested in your proposal in terms of all the aspects and the
<br /> 1133 comprehensiveness of it. But family care facilities can take a number of different forms under statute, and so I'm
<br /> 1134 curious about whether the family care facilities are targeted to be family care homes,which would be, I imagine, in
<br /> 1135 single family or multi-family up to six residents, or whether you're envisioning something larger under the flexibility
<br /> 1136 provided by the MPD-CD designation.
<br /> 1137
<br /> 1138 Edwin Cox: No,we'd be going for six residents in a facility and up to two facilities. We'll build one and if
<br /> 1139 we need more capacity,the second. And it would be for assistance with activities of daily living and possibly for
<br /> 1140 cognitive problems.
<br /> 1141
<br /> 1142 Marilyn Carter: Thank you.
<br /> 1143
<br /> 1144 Cy Stober: And if I may, Ms. Carter,that was the substance of the slides and the primary motive for staff
<br /> 1145 to recommend the definition update because 160D-907 limits the number of inhabitants to a family care facility to six
<br /> 1146 individuals. So,we would regulate that use to be limited to no more than six per structure.
<br /> 1147
<br /> 1148 Marilyn Carter: Thank you for that clarification. Question about the septic system, and it may be that
<br /> 1149 Mr. Davidson might be able to,or the team, might be able to answer, but it has to do with the nature of the primary
<br /> 1150 treatment. And some of us have heard about issues in other neighborhoods that are tied into the MBR approach for
<br /> 1151 handling the solid waste treatment. So,what type of system are you proposing in that up-front stage of treatment?
<br /> 1152
<br /> 1153 Kevin Davidson: Okay. Appreciate the question there. So,what we're proposing for the whole development,
<br /> 1154 the first piece of primary treatment is called a step tank, and it's very similar to a septic tank that many of us have that
<br /> 1155 are on septic systems at our house, a traditional septic tank. You collect the waste from the building,and in a step
<br /> 1156 tank-step is S-T-E-P, and it stands for Septic Tank Effluent Pump-and in that tank,we're going to collect those
<br /> 1157 solids, that waste,that comes from,whether it's a house, a row of houses, a community building. We're going to
<br /> 1158 collect it in that first initial tank. That tank serves as a traditional septic tank in the sense that we're settling the solids,
<br /> 1159 we're letting any scum layer float to the top and- I apologize,this is my day-to-day thing, so when we deal with solids
<br /> 1160 and scum, that's normal septic conversations for us poop people-so we deal with that. And so,we settle those
<br /> 1161 solids, we let that scum layer rise. In the outlet side of the tank-and there was a slide, and I believe it's in your
<br /> 1162 packet there; it shows a schematic of a STEP tank-we have a pump vault unit, and inside that pump vault unit is a
<br /> 1163 high-head turbine pump very similar to a well style pump. That filter in that pump vault protects that pump from any
<br /> 1164 solids, and we're trying to draw through the clear zone of this tank. So, if you picture those solids are down low,the
<br /> 1165 scum layer is high,and essentially as clean as I can be is that center of that tank. We're drawing water through that
<br /> 1166 clear zone of that tank through that filter and into that pump. Now,that pump, as I said, it's a high-head pump. We're
<br /> 1167 able to send that filtered effluent-it's not wastewater at this point; it's filtered effluent-we're able to send that quite
