186 <br /> Approved 10.1.25 <br /> 988 Beth Bronson: Yes. Absolutely. So,you have to have that reservoir tank. In my house I have a well, and we <br /> 989 have a,what is it, the tank that's there.That tank goes into the house, and then the well pumps <br /> 990 into the tank. <br /> 991 <br /> 992 David Barcal: It's just a big version of that. <br /> 993 <br /> 994 Beth Bronson: And the idea that you're within feet of a township that does provide water, I guess? I'm just trying <br /> 995 to understand why there wasn't a conversation or at least even a request to serve, or a feasibility <br /> 996 to serve. <br /> 997 <br /> 998 Beth Trahos: In fact,there was.The initial approach was to the town of Hillsborough. The town of Hillsborough <br /> 999 declined. So,the project came through the Orange County process. Now the town has come <br /> 1000 back in comments to this case to say we,we may be able to provide water. <br /> 1001 <br /> 1002 Beth Bronson: Only. <br /> 1003 <br /> 1004 Beth Trahos: Yeah,water only. Let me just point out that that is an additional safeguard. There is water and <br /> 1005 sewer immediately available to the property as well. And I would also just point out that another <br /> 1006 user, even permitted out of the current zoning, could be a significant water user, more so than <br /> 1007 even a residential community. I mean, agriculture with irrigation is a big water user that could be <br /> 1008 permitted by right. So,just don't consider zero impact to what is being proposed. <br /> 1009 <br /> 1010 Laura Haywood: I'm Laura Haywood. I don't think I've stated my name. Hey. I did want to clarify on the septic, <br /> 1011 when it comes to the town of Hillsborough,when we approach them, there is no capacity <br /> 1012 available in the town of Hillsborough. I saw Chris, I saw your face. You're, like,wait a second. 1 <br /> 1013 did want to clarify that as far as water is concerned. When we went to them, they were, like,well, <br /> 1014 we don't really want to annex you in, because there's no sewer capacity,and on that note,we're <br /> 1015 just not going to give you water either. But, since then,when we applied for this application,we <br /> 1016 received town of Hillsborough comments directly,and I believe on the second page they had <br /> 1017 mentioned,well,we would possibly be willing to offer you water, but that came after the fact,after <br /> 1018 we had already drove the well and everything, so, I just wanted to bring clarification of that <br /> 1019 timeline. <br /> 1020 <br /> 1021 Beth Bronson: It doesn't say in the application that you had requested, it was denied, and if there was, I just didn't <br /> 1022 see it? <br /> 1023 <br /> 1024 Laura Haywood: We did sit down directly with,town of Hillsborough Utility and actually met with them onsite, and <br /> 1025 that was the outcome of that conversation. <br /> 1026 <br /> 1027 Beth Bronson: Okay. And then the conversations with the town of Hillsborough regarding some of their other <br /> 1028 comments about cleaning that sidewalk or that frontage on 86, and I didn't understand it at first, <br /> 1029 but I get what the road dedication is. So, are these things that were taken into consideration, even <br /> 1030 though this isn't a final plan or plot? <br /> 1031 <br /> 1032 Laura Haywood: Yeah, so,as far as this sidewalk is concerned, I just want to remind everybody that this has not <br /> 1033 been fully engineered out. So,we would still need to consider how feasible that would be on that <br /> 1034 side of the right of way, and what was your second question one more time? <br /> 1035 <br /> 1036 Beth Bronson: The road dedication. <br /> 1037 <br /> 1038 Laura Haywood: Roadway dedication.Yeah, so,we anticipate we have the right of way dedication there. It's 60 <br /> 1039 foot right of way. <br /> 1040 <br /> 1041 Beth Bronson: For traffic,the way that it was flagged and the way that, you know,there is a huge concern <br /> 1042 because of this major intersection, or multiple major intersection south of the parcel, and the idea <br />
