195 <br /> Approved 10.1.25 <br /> 1481 Lamar Proctor: It's just passive storm water, right? Measures consistent with the UDO. There's no pumps or <br /> 1482 anything like that. <br /> 1483 <br /> 1484 Beth Trahos: That's correct. Our civil engineer nodded his head. <br /> 1485 <br /> 1486 Lamar Proctor: Okay, great. Does anyone else have any other questions? <br /> 1487 <br /> 1488 Whitney Watson: Yeah, I have a couple actually. Looking at the GIS map that was up just a moment ago, I was <br /> 1489 wondering if you could show where that potential pathway might be from this development to <br /> 1490 Crossroads School, because it looks to me like you'd have to cross property that is owned by <br /> 1491 someone else. <br /> 1492 <br /> 1493 Beth Trahos: Pathways Elementary? <br /> 1494 <br /> 1495 Whitney Watson: Yes. <br /> 1496 <br /> 1497 Laura Haywood: So, in order to get across the creek,yes,a walking bridge would need to traverse it. <br /> 1498 <br /> 1499 Whiteney Watson: It's not that, it's the property. <br /> 1500 <br /> 1501 Laura Haywood: Yes,there's an HOA-owned property back there that we would need to get permission from the <br /> 1502 HOA, but that would also be an additional collaboration piece that we are willing to address when <br /> 1503 the time comes. <br /> 1504 <br /> 1505 Whitney Watson: Okay. <br /> 1506 <br /> 1507 Beth Bronson: With Shrouds Creeks Homeowners Association. <br /> 1508 <br /> 1509 Laura Haywood: Yes,that's correct. There's a small neighborhood right there of I don't know, a handful, 12 to 15 <br /> 1510 homes, and their HOA kind of whips around. <br /> 1511 <br /> 1512 Patrick Mallett: I can offer some historical perspective to that. When some developer develops Shrouds Creek, <br /> 1513 the developer went to the Town of Hillsborough and to the schools and said, hey, I've got this <br /> 1514 open space,would you consider a greenway or a path or a connection point. And at that time, the <br /> 1515 town said we're not really interested because there's stream features there and we're concerned <br /> 1516 about hazards without a full-blown greenway and adequate bridges. The school ultimately <br /> 1517 concluded we just want one little sidewalk along the right-of-way there,so it has been discussed <br /> 1518 before. I think that that HOA would need to be approached and a legal agreement arrived at. 1 <br /> 1519 would think that they would be in the same theoretical position as the homeowners here,willing to <br /> 1520 talk, but there's essentially two to three, if not four parties that would need to be involved. Just <br /> 1521 wanted to let you know that that has been discussed in the past. <br /> 1522 <br /> 1523 Whitney Watson: So,the other question is,there's a little tiny narrow tail of property that is part of this proposal, and <br /> 1524 what's up with that little piece? Could that be transferred to Eno River Academy or somebody <br /> 1525 else? <br /> 1526 <br /> 1527 Beth Trahos: I don't know the, the genesis of that piece, but certainly it's something that could be discussed if it <br /> 1528 makes sense for it to be a part of Eno River or something like that. It certainly could be discussed. <br /> 1529 <br /> 1530 Whitney Watson: Or, yeah, or to the property owners that are adjacent to it already if they wanted to buy that. <br /> 1531 <br /> 1532 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair, if I may. So unlike when we're discussing DOT regulation and the right-of-way, <br /> 1533 conditioning a zoning approval on a property to compel conversation commitment with other <br /> 1534 property owners is outside the bounds of even the commissioners. We have to focus on this <br />
