42 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 50 acre. The area in open space is 17.42 acres, that totals 47.9 percent in open space. <br /> 51 There's a breakout of the open space in primary and secondary, you may recall, last go <br /> 52 round with the major subdivision we had different tiers of open space, primary open space <br /> 53 is intended to preserve naturally sensitive areas, steep slopes, stream buffers, areas of <br /> 54 historical or cultural significance and then secondary open space which can be used for <br /> 55 more active like uses. The buffers and setbacks 40 feet from the rights-of-way including <br /> 56 the new road that they would build 20 feet from the sides and the rear and a 30-foot type <br /> 57 B buffer. There's also a perimeter building setback of a hundred feet. Access would be <br /> 58 via a 50-foot public right-of-way and it's a DOT ultimately accepted road. They'd be <br /> 59 served with individuals wells and septic systems, and they're making a payment in lieu for <br /> 60 their park and rec fee. That's pretty standard with these types of subdivisions. This is the <br /> 61 overall layout, you can see they're basically drawing a singular road, terminating in a cul- <br /> 62 du-sac with single family lots flanking it and then open space around the perimeter and to <br /> 63 the rear, that round object at the end of the cul-du-sac is a storm water control measure, <br /> 64 an SCM that would account for their pre-post runoff in terms of water volume runoff and <br /> 65 nutrient removal. This is where we are in the planning board process. As I said, it would <br /> 66 move on to the board of county commissioners. Staff analysis is the application was <br /> 67 deemed complete. We determined the property is sufficient size, that it meets all the <br /> 68 requirements of the subdivision section, Article 7 of LIDO, and staff supports the approval <br /> 69 of the flexible development option contained in Attachment 1. Plan director recommends <br /> 70 that you receive the application, recommend approval for the preliminary plat as <br /> 71 submitted. Any questions for me? <br /> 72 Adam Beeman: One person from the public wants to speak. <br /> 73 Jamie Cox: Hi again, thanks for allowing me to speak. I'm Jamie Cox, owner of the adjoining property <br /> 74 at the end of the cul-du-sac. Just wanted to mark a couple of things for the record. <br /> 75 Appreciate the additional analysis that was done on the soils for the property. I think <br /> 76 that's very helpful. Didn't exactly answer the concern we had about the impact to the well <br /> 77 on adjoining property so just wanted again to note that for the record. The other is that <br /> 78 the preliminary plat shows the electric service that actually goes over or the overhead <br /> 79 wires and then stops. It does not show the undergrounds wires that actually takes the <br /> 80 service to our property. We had asked the developer and the planning staff to consider <br /> 81 depicting the underground utility service and providing an access and utility easement <br /> 82 over that utility service to our property. We were told that's not the planning department's <br /> 83 job, which is fine, but I bring that to you since we'd like to continue to use electricity at our <br /> 84 house. But that's our only concern other than what we've already stated, so appreciate <br /> 85 you guys. <br /> 86 Adam Beeman: Thank you. <br /> 87 Charity Kirk: Can you clarify your concern? You're concerned about the well water capacity on the <br /> 88 adjacent property. As well as you receiving electricity because there's no electrical <br /> 89 easement noted. <br /> 90 Jamie Cox: Correct. <br /> 91 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 92 Jamie Cox: Well said. <br /> 93 Adam Beeman: Let's start down this way, Dolores, do you have any questions? Whitney? <br />
