<br /> Approved 10.1.25
<br /> 330 traffic coming from north to south already, and that will increase that, and of course,for us
<br /> 331 personally on 80, on Governor Burke Road in the morning,that would increase traffic cutting
<br /> 332 across between 86 and 57, and I,without any kind of study of the traffic I'm kind of concerned, as
<br /> 333 is already pretty bad already in the morning if anyone would come and see what it looks like at
<br /> 334 8:00. It's pretty congested in that area already. Thank you.
<br /> 335
<br /> 336 Lamar Proctor: Thank you. Stephanie Waller.
<br /> 337
<br /> 338 Stephanie Waller: Hello. My name is Stephanie Waller, and I reside at 113 Blackman Lane. Growth is inevitable,
<br /> 339 and I just want to have some accountability with the growth. The project I think is lovely. If I had
<br /> 340 to actually choose between different builders or developers,what they propose is really good 1
<br /> 341 think having come from Durham as a native person and having seen the overgrowth in Durham.
<br /> 342 This is why actually we moved here and relocated from Durham to Hillsborough a year ago. Now
<br /> 343 one thing that I wanted to ask this, this board and anyone that is responsible for approving or
<br /> 344 thinking about or considering this is that the accountability is there. One of my concerns is 1
<br /> 345 actually, our house,we volunteered to use our well for the water test to see if there is a draw down
<br /> 346 effect. We were part of the neighbors, and at that time there was another neighbor that wanted to
<br /> 347 as well, and I was glad that they did use our well. My concern is that they used the minimum
<br /> 348 requirement,the minimum that is required by North Carolina, and in looking and researching
<br /> 349 usually it's actually suggested that four to six existing wells be used,and especially North Carolina
<br /> 350 actually states that they recommend more observation wells if there is heterogeneous aquifers,
<br /> 351 and so right now we're actually researching even in our own home where there is water
<br /> 352 fluctuations, and we're planning to hire a plumber to see what that's about because after being
<br /> 353 there a year that was not the case. The other thing is, the concern is in researching the parent
<br /> 354 company for Forestar, DR Horton,there was a complaint for injunctive relief and civil penalties in
<br /> 355 Baltimore, Maryland. The department had issued a complaint for injunctive relief and civil
<br /> 356 penalties for the unpermitted discharge of pollution in violation of sediment pollution, so my
<br /> 357 concern is not what's done, it's how it's done. I don't have the expertise to really keep them
<br /> 358 accountable, and I just hope that people keep them accountable. The project that they propose is
<br /> 359 great. My concern is, and having and actually lived in a town home and gone through the process
<br /> 360 where the developer,the builder, and then, you have separate entities, and my question to them
<br /> 361 during the first meeting was who is going to make the builders accountable to or keep that plan
<br /> 362 that you propose? It's a great plan I think, but who is going to actually follow every step of the
<br /> 363 process to make sure that plan results in what you propose? And that's my only concern,and
<br /> 364 also the traffic because right now we have a private road, and we don't have any kind of a
<br /> 365 stoplight, and so it is very treacherous to try to get out. Thank you for your time.
<br /> 366
<br /> 367 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. I don't see an agenda item, but I just want to check, Robert Medred.
<br /> 368
<br /> 369 Robert Medred: Robert Medred. I own the 13.5 acres that this property surrounds me on three sides. I have
<br /> 370 owned that property for 27 years. I was a friend with the Browns, and I watched over it while she
<br /> 371 lived there. I have a question about the diagram of the map. My property has a 1-acre notch
<br /> 372 taken out of the southeast corner. That map,from what I can see because the printing is so small
<br /> 373 up here, it looks like that notch is taken out well away from the southeast corner,so I question
<br /> 374 that. My other question is, I think, based on my walking on my property that I see engineering
<br /> 375 tape on my property, so if there is,we're going to have a problem with that, and I really don't want
<br /> 376 to pay for another survey to prove that they're on my property. I have had surveyors trespass on
<br /> 377 my property. I have had Raleigh State engineers trespass on my property, so I'm not too
<br /> 378 impressed with what is really going on to date, so I'd like to talk to the developer and get more
<br /> 379 information, and I'd like to know what kind of buffer is going to be put to keep people off of my
<br /> 380 property. Is there going to be a fence put up or how is that going to work. I am surrounded. 1
<br /> 381 don't know if I can stop it, but I really don't want it. Not much I can do, but I'm the most affected of
<br /> 382 anyone in this room, and so I would like to be taken seriously on this, and that should do it. Thank
<br /> 383 you.
