43 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 94 Whitney Watson: One quick question. I believe it was presented before was the question about the <br /> 95 easement to the circular drive along the southern border of the development. Was that <br /> 96 resolved so there is road access back to your property, is that correct? <br /> 97 Jamie Cox: It's difficult to see but our property is actually served by a private driveway that runs along <br /> 98 the southern portion of the property and it's our understanding it's not included in this <br /> 99 development application, it will continue to be maintained privately, so we don't have <br /> 100 concerns about the vehicular access. The concern that I share with you now is just <br /> 101 making sure that we have utility and electric access because it's not depicted on the plat. <br /> 102 And what we were told is that will get worked out, don't worry about it, and that's fine, but <br /> 103 since it's going to be depicted, since this is showing electric service, we'd like the <br /> 104 underground line shown as well and an easement over them, so we have the assurance <br /> 105 that we can continue to have electricity. Thanks. <br /> 106 Adam Beeman: I assure you if you call Duke, they'll give you a copy of that easement. <br /> 107 Jamie Cox: It's Piedmont. I've asked for the contact from the developer's engineers a couple of times <br /> 108 and haven't received any input from that, so happy to talk to Piedmont directly. <br /> 109 Adam Beeman: I'm saying because when I had to sign up years ago back in 20081 have a copy of my box <br /> 110 that's the Duke Piedmont easement giving the right-of-way so there's going to be a <br /> 111 document that Piedmont has in their possession that says that they have a right-of-way <br /> 112 with your property so if you're really concerned about it, I'd contact Piedmont directly and <br /> 113 see if they couldn't get that information for you. <br /> 114 Jamie Cox: Yeah, absolutely happy to do it. It's more than likely going to change since they can see <br /> 115 that electricity line is going directly through one of the lots, my assumption is it'll go to one <br /> 116 side or the other, so we'd just like to see that change depicted on the plat. <br /> 117 Adam Beeman: Marilyn, any questions? <br /> 118 Marilyn Carter: Not at this moment. <br /> 119 Adam Beeman: Statler? <br /> 120 Lamar Proctor: Just so I understand, it's just an up or down approval, right? <br /> 121 Patrick Mallett: That's right, and this is not a legislative process that you're going, this is a subdivision <br /> 122 process, so you'd have to point to an element that they're not meeting as a requirement in <br /> 123 Section 7 of the UDO. <br /> 124 Lamar Proctor: Okay. And you've reviewed it, and you don't find anything inconsistent with Section 7 or <br /> 125 Article 7? <br /> 126 Patrick Mallett: That's correct. And we have worked with Mr. Cox, and we've made that aware to the <br /> 127 developer, the surveyor does a lot of work in Orange County, and really the utility provider <br /> 128 and the owner, if something goes wrong from Point A to Point B, they're on the hook to fix <br /> 129 or rectify that situation so that it doesn't disrupt service to an adjacent owner. <br /> 130 Lamar Proctor: Who is the utility provider? <br /> 131 Patrick Mallett: PEMC, Piedmont. And then with the wells and septics they're required to provide a <br /> 132 certain level of analysis to evidence that it could be supported. As an added step the <br /> 133 subdivision process gets you to the point that you can record the lots, you still have a land <br />
