223 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1093 <br /> 1094 Cy Stober: So it's for 49 lots on a 78-acre property, but it's in a conservation cluster land-use pattern,which <br /> 1095 allows for lots, in this case, as small as 20,000 square feet. <br /> 1096 <br /> 1097 Beth Bronson: True. So it doesn't actually change agricultural. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. <br /> 1098 <br /> 1099 David Barcal: And I just,the septic systems, by rule, can't be any closer than 10 feet to a property line, so you <br /> 1100 would in theory have a minimum 20 feet separation between septic systems, so. <br /> 1101 <br /> 1102 Statler Gilfillen: Thank you. <br /> 1103 <br /> 1104 Lamar Proctor: Are there any other questions for the applicant? Hearing none, are there, is there any discussion? <br /> 1105 1 will just start by saying that it's clear that it's that intersection has traffic concerns and will <br /> 1106 continue to have traffic concerns, so I recognize that. But what I also do recognize is that that <br /> 1107 property that this conditional zoning atlas amendment does develop the property in a responsible <br /> 1108 way that with lower density than allowed by the agricultural-residential zoning. It does seem to be <br /> 1109 a responsible way to develop the property and maintain some open spaces, and I appreciate their <br /> 1110 good-faith effort to work Eno Academy to potentially reach an agreement with them in terms of <br /> 1111 continued use of the property by Eno Academy students. So I don't know if anyone has any <br /> 1112 discussion or anything they'd like to say before we move into a vote on this. <br /> 1113 <br /> 1114 Beth Bronson: So I would like to offer an additional condition. As I was speaking regarding the petition to the <br /> 1115 DOT and the West Orange MPO for a spot study and for a review of the area, either speed limits, <br /> 1116 safety concerns, and/or intersections based on— <br /> 1117 <br /> 1118 Lamar Proctor: So I drafted a proposed additional condition for that concern: Property owners shall write a letter <br /> 1119 to DOT about traffic safety concerns. Is there additional language or modification? <br /> 1120 <br /> 1121 Chris Johnston: And I think there was,wasn't there a specific wording that you have to use in regards to what this <br /> 1122 is and what this is not? <br /> 1123 <br /> 1124 Josh Reinke: So it would be a speed-limit reduction, and that's why it keeps scaring me- I can mention <br /> 1125 generally— <br /> 1126 <br /> 1127 Beth Bronson: Yeah. <br /> 1128 <br /> 1129 Josh Reinke: —I can mention generally safety concerns.A Spot-it wouldn't appropriate in this letter to mention <br /> 1130 the spot safety <br /> 1131 <br /> 1132 Beth Bronson: Okay,that— <br /> 1133 <br /> 1134 Lamar Proctor: Right. <br /> 1135 <br /> 1136 Josh Reinke: That's essentially requesting funding from them, saying here's this issue— <br /> 1137 <br /> 1138 Beth Bronson: No, yeah. <br /> 1139 <br /> 1140 Josh Reinke: —and it would be— <br /> 1141 <br /> 1142 Beth Bronson: I apologize. <br /> 1143 <br /> 1144 Josh Reinke: —different and come from municipalities, so speed-limit reduction, I'm okay with that saying it is a <br /> 1145 letter requesting a speed-limit reduction. That I can put together and incorporate the MPO or the <br /> 1146 county,whoever else. Just make sure, because I feel that if they support that, it helps it all the <br /> 1147 more is me personally writing it. They're like,well,you're working on behalf of a developer. And <br />
