222 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1038 Beth Trahos: Sure. Well, one thing I would say is that there'll be a septic system on each lot, so you would, in <br /> 1039 terms of planting a weeping willow, you could only plant a tree on your own lot, not on your <br /> 1040 neighbor's, so it would— <br /> 1041 <br /> 1042 Statler Gilfillen: But if it's, if the septic systems are very close to the property lines and you put a tree like that right <br /> 1043 close, it can affect both sides with the root system. Now— <br /> 1044 <br /> 1045 Beth Trahos: I will turn to the expert. <br /> 1046 <br /> 1047 Statler Gilfillen: —what is allowed, the question I'm asking,what precautions are you building in to protect each of <br /> 1048 the homeowners and make sure these systems keep working and you don't get a rogue <br /> 1049 homeowner putting landscaping in that could be negative? <br /> 1050 <br /> 1051 Beth Trahos: I would just, I would say the homeowners association documents have not yet been drafted, but 1 <br /> 1052 think that's a useful comment and something that we'll make a note of, as those documents are <br /> 1053 being put together, to acknowledge that there are septic systems. And currently folks would know <br /> 1054 as they were buying the homes, but I do think that for posterity's sake that that makes sense. <br /> 1055 <br /> 1056 Laura Haywood: I just—I'm Laura Haywood. I just wanted to point out,too, that with your concern the ARC that we <br /> 1057 would include in our HOA documents,we would be able to put conditions like that where the HOA <br /> 1058 is going to restrict and limit. It's my understanding that as far as this application is concerned,that <br /> 1059 right now, as far as a condition is concerned, can't be accepted because it would be overseen by <br /> 1060 the HOA. So but that's how we would address that in the ARCs. <br /> 1061 <br /> 1062 Statler Gilfillen: I would only like to add not only in the comments there, but in the comments, making sure that it's <br /> 1063 enforceable. <br /> 1064 <br /> 1065 Laura Haywood: Absolutely. <br /> 1066 <br /> 1067 Statler Gilfillen: Okay. <br /> 1068 <br /> 1069 Beth Bronson: Just to build off of what she is saying, in the sense that this is for a zoning atlas amendment and <br /> 1070 not for the subdivision itself? <br /> 1071 <br /> 1072 Cy Stober: Correct. <br /> 1073 <br /> 1074 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 1075 <br /> 1076 Cy Stober: So civil matters are not managed. HOA matters are not regulated by the county. We do have <br /> 1077 subdivision regulations. Those are,will need to be complied with by this applicant, as this is a <br /> 1078 zoning atlas amendment, and any conditions that are proffered today for any relief from the county <br /> 1079 standards from either the subdivision standards or our site plan standards or other use standards <br /> 1080 would need to be included as a condition. Otherwise, all of those regulations must be complied <br /> 1081 with, including all subdivision regulations. <br /> 1082 <br /> 1083 Beth Bronson: Right,thank you. And, again,just to clarify for the board and for residents that this is for the <br /> 1084 rezoning from agricultural-residential to a higher density parcel as in— <br /> 1085 <br /> 1086 Cy Stober: No. <br /> 1087 <br /> 1088 Beth Bronson: Right? <br /> 1089 <br /> 1090 Cy Stober: No. <br /> 1091 <br /> 1092 Beth Bronson: No? Sorry. <br />
