221 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 984 Beth Trahos: Well, I didn't talk to anybody at Hillsborough today. However, in their review of this site, they did <br /> 985 offer that they would consider extending water here,you know,water only if we would like. And <br /> 986 so we took that as good news, and we have added the commitment that we ask them for that <br /> 987 water and, if they give it to us,that we use it, provided we can get the water lines to the site. So <br /> 988 we got water. <br /> 989 <br /> 990 Beth Bronson: I really appreciate that consideration. Yeah,thank you for adding that condition. I think that also <br /> 991 addresses a lot of concerns that the surrounding community has about such a large well and the <br /> 992 ability to service so many homes on a community system. <br /> 993 <br /> 994 Beth Trahos: So—yeah. <br /> 995 <br /> 996 Charity Kirk: On that point, though we approving it means that we will accept it if they have to do a well,though. <br /> 997 <br /> 998 Beth Bronson: Either way. <br /> 999 <br /> 1000 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 1001 <br /> 1002 Beth Bronson: There's only so much, yeah,that we can have control over. And in the sense that you wouldn't <br /> 1003 want this to be built if it meant that there would be a well, then that would be at the discretion of <br /> 1004 each board member voting, yeah, is my understanding of that. And the other condition is that no <br /> 1005 homes will contain more than four bedrooms,and that means that not all homes will be four <br /> 1006 bedrooms, or is the goal for all homes to be four bedrooms? <br /> 1007 <br /> 1008 Beth Trahos: No,that's just the max, and really we put that in related to the septic system. We also said and, <br /> 1009 you know,the septic systems would be designed for four-bedroom homes,so even if there's fewer <br /> 1010 than four bedrooms, there will be a septic system designed for a four-bedroom home, and so we <br /> 1011 just put those in so that they would correlate, so you would know that would be a max. <br /> 1012 <br /> 1013 Beth Bronson: No, I appreciate that. Okay. <br /> 1014 <br /> 1015 Statler Gilfillen: Is there a maximum number of bathroom? <br /> 1016 <br /> 1017 Beth Trahos: No, sir. <br /> 1018 <br /> 1019 Statler Gilfillen: Because a bedroom can be, as an architect, can be an ambiguous term. <br /> 1020 <br /> 1021 Beth Trahos: Sure. <br /> 1022 <br /> 1023 Lamar Proctor: All right. Statler,go ahead. You had a question? <br /> 1024 <br /> 1025 Statler Gilfillen: On your comment about septic systems, developer bears the risk of losing developability if it <br /> 1026 doesn't work. <br /> 1027 <br /> 1028 Beth Trahos: Mm hmm. <br /> 1029 <br /> 1030 Statler Gilfillen: The next question would be property. House gets built; couple years later, it's sold to somebody <br /> 1031 else; a few years later, sold to somebody else. Now,the landscaping on a lot this small,with a <br /> 1032 septic system built in, can make a difference of whether that septic system will work on not. What <br /> 1033 controls are you going to build in,whether it's the association or what,that will control that some <br /> 1034 homeowner doesn't put a weeping willow right in the back of the property next to his owner,which <br /> 1035 could affect two systems or something? Are you, is there any thought about making sure that the <br /> 1036 language controls so that these systems keep working properly? <br /> 1037 <br />
