Approved 9.4.24 <br />du-sac with single family lots flanking it and then open space around the perimeter and to 232 <br />the rear, that round object at the end of the cul-du-sac is a storm water control measure, 233 <br />an SCM that would account for their pre-post runoff in terms of water volume runoff and 234 <br />nutrient removal. This is where we are in the planning board process. As I said, it would 235 <br />move on to the board of county commissioners. Staff analysis is the application was 236 <br />deemed complete. We determined the property is sufficient size, that it meets all the 237 <br />requirements of the subdivision section, Article 7 of UDO, and staff supports the approval 238 <br />of the flexible development option contained in Attachment 1. Plan director recommends 239 <br />that you receive the application, recommend approval for the preliminary plat as 240 <br />submitted. Any questions for me? 241 <br />Adam Beeman: One person from the public wants to speak. 242 <br />Jamie Cox: Hi again, thanks for allowing me to speak. I'm Jamie Cox, owner of the adjoining property 243 <br />at the end of the cul-du-sac. Just wanted to mark a couple of things for the record. 244 <br />Appreciate the additional analysis that was done on the soils for the property. I think 245 <br />that’s very helpful. Didn't exactly answer the concern we had about the impact to the well 246 <br />on adjoining property so just wanted again to note that for the record. The other is that 247 <br />the preliminary plat shows the electric service that actually goes over or the overhead 248 <br />wires and then stops. It does not show the undergrounds wires that actually takes the 249 <br />service to our property. We had asked the developer and the planning staff to consider 250 <br />depicting the underground utility service and providing an access and utility easement 251 <br />over that utility service to our property. We were told that's not the planning department's 252 <br />job, which is fine, but I bring that to you since we'd like to continue to use electricity at our 253 <br />house. But that’s our only concern other than what we've already stated, so appreciate 254 <br />you guys. 255 <br />Adam Beeman: Thank you. 256 <br />Charity Kirk: Can you clarify your concern? You're concerned about the well water capacity on the 257 <br />adjacent property. As well as you receiving electricity because there's no electrical 258 <br />easement noted. 259 <br />Jamie Cox: Correct. 260 <br />Charity Kirk: Okay. 261 <br />Jamie Cox: Well said. 262 <br />Adam Beeman: Let's start down this way, Dolores, do you have any questions? Whitney? 263 <br />Whitney Watson: One quick question. I believe it was presented before was the question about the 264 <br />easement to the circular drive along the southern border of the development. Was that 265 <br />resolved so there is road access back to your property, is that correct? 266 <br />Jamie Cox: It's difficult to see but our property is actually served by a private driveway that runs along 267 <br />the southern portion of the property and it's our understanding it's not included in this 268 <br />development application, it will continue to be maintained privately, so we don't have 269 <br />concerns about the vehicular access. The concern that I share with you now is just 270 <br />making sure that we have utility and electric access because it's not depicted on the pla t. 271 <br />And what we were told is that will get worked out, don't worry about it, and that's fine, but 272 <br />since it's going to be depicted, since this is showing electric service, we'd like the 273
