Approved 9.3.25 <br /> 989 <br /> 990 Beth Trahos: It's a condition. Yes, sir. <br /> 991 <br /> 992 Josh Reinke: Correct. <br /> 993 <br /> 994 Lamar Proctor: If it's approved, then you're going to build them. <br /> 995 <br /> 996 Beth Trahos: Well,with DOT approval. <br /> 997 <br /> 998 Lamar Proctor: If DOT approves it. <br /> 999 <br /> 1000 Josh Reinke: That's right. <br /> 1001 <br /> 1002 Lamar Proctor: That's what I meant. <br /> 1003 <br /> 1004 Josh Reinke: Yes. <br /> 1005 <br /> 1006 Delores Bailey: So,you guys thinking that that's going to abate the fears of the current residents that there's <br /> 1007 already a problem with that left turn, and you're thinking that's going to fix it? <br /> 1008 <br /> 1009 Josh Reinke: The purpose of this is to say,there is no capacity issues. We just got a backstory, as nothing was <br /> 1010 required to be done by DOT or county. We did a traffic study anyways. We even ran analysis, so <br /> 1011 it's not even saying it's a low-trip generator. It's below the threshold. We ran analysis to see how <br /> 1012 that would operate. Then nothing was required by DOT. Once I seal it and submit it to them,they <br /> 1013 have to review it. They said,we're not requiring any turn lanes. Essentially, this will get traffic <br /> 1014 safely out of that through movement to allow them to turn in. So,the purpose of a traffic study is <br /> 1015 to mitigate any traffic impacts this development would have. <br /> 1016 <br /> 1017 Delores Bailey: Yeah. And I'm just concerned about what the neighbors feel like. Do they feel like this is <br /> 1018 absolutely going to satisfy the problems that they think they're having already? <br /> 1019 <br /> 1020 Josh Reinke: I won't speak on behalf of how the neighbors feel, but yeah, go ahead. <br /> 1021 <br /> 1022 Beth Trahos: Yeah. I won't speak on that either, but I will say that these turn lanes were specifically requested <br /> 1023 in a letter from the fire chief and so that's why we've added the condition above and beyond the <br /> 1024 requirements not only of your code but of what NCDOT would require. To go above and beyond to <br /> 1025 provide things that we have heard from the community that they would like to see. <br /> 1026 <br /> 1027 Delores Bailey: Okay. And I'm just speaking from a comment that was sent to us. That there were some <br /> 1028 concerns about a left turn from this. <br /> 1029 <br /> 1030 Beth Trahos: Yes, ma'am. <br /> 1031 <br /> 1032 Lamar Proctor: Okay. All right. Thank you. <br /> 1033 <br /> 1034 Statler Gilfillen: Both the landscaping and septic system. I'm an architect, and I've dealt with a lot of septic <br /> 1035 systems. They've controlled what we can do on many sites. So, I'm a little bit concerned. You <br /> 1036 said that four of the sites have been tested already. You've done the peres on them? <br /> 1037 <br /> 1038 David Barcal: No, so there's been a preliminary analysis done on the whole site. <br /> 1039 <br /> 1040 Statler Gilfillen: But no formal peres. <br /> 1041 <br />
