11 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 232 du-sac with single family lots flanking it and then open space around the perimeter and to <br /> 233 the rear, that round object at the end of the cul-du-sac is a storm water control measure, <br /> 234 an SCM that would account for their pre-post runoff in terms of water volume runoff and <br /> 235 nutrient removal. This is where we are in the planning board process. As I said, it would <br /> 236 move on to the board of county commissioners. Staff analysis is the application was <br /> 237 deemed complete. We determined the property is sufficient size, that it meets all the <br /> 238 requirements of the subdivision section, Article 7 of UDO, and staff supports the approval <br /> 239 of the flexible development option contained in Attachment 1. Plan director recommends <br /> 240 that you receive the application, recommend approval for the preliminary plat as <br /> 241 submitted. Any questions for me? <br /> 242 Adam Beeman: One person from the public wants to speak. <br /> 243 Jamie Cox: Hi again, thanks for allowing me to speak. I'm Jamie Cox, owner of the adjoining property <br /> 244 at the end of the cul-du-sac. Just wanted to mark a couple of things for the record. <br /> 245 Appreciate the additional analysis that was done on the soils for the property. I think <br /> 246 that's very helpful. Didn't exactly answer the concern we had about the impact to the well <br /> 247 on adjoining property so just wanted again to note that for the record. The other is that <br /> 248 the preliminary plat shows the electric service that actually goes over or the overhead <br /> 249 wires and then stops. It does not show the undergrounds wires that actually takes the <br /> 250 service to our property. We had asked the developer and the planning staff to consider <br /> 251 depicting the underground utility service and providing an access and utility easement <br /> 252 over that utility service to our property. We were told that's not the planning department's <br /> 253 job, which is fine, but I bring that to you since we'd like to continue to use electricity at our <br /> 254 house. But that's our only concern other than what we've already stated, so appreciate <br /> 255 you guys. <br /> 256 Adam Beeman: Thank you. <br /> 257 Charity Kirk: Can you clarify your concern? You're concerned about the well water capacity on the <br /> 258 adjacent property. As well as you receiving electricity because there's no electrical <br /> 259 easement noted. <br /> 260 Jamie Cox: Correct. <br /> 261 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 262 Jamie Cox: Well said. <br /> 263 Adam Beeman: Let's start down this way, Dolores, do you have any questions? Whitney? <br /> 264 Whitney Watson: One quick question. I believe it was presented before was the question about the <br /> 265 easement to the circular drive along the southern border of the development. Was that <br /> 266 resolved so there is road access back to your property, is that correct? <br /> 267 Jamie Cox: It's difficult to see but our property is actually served by a private driveway that runs along <br /> 268 the southern portion of the property and it's our understanding it's not included in this <br /> 269 development application, it will continue to be maintained privately, so we don't have <br /> 270 concerns about the vehicular access. The concern that I share with you now is just <br /> 271 making sure that we have utility and electric access because it's not depicted on the plat. <br /> 272 And what we were told is that will get worked out, don't worry about it, and that's fine, but <br /> 273 since it's going to be depicted, since this is showing electric service, we'd like the <br />
