18 <br /> 659 Don Sever: Okay, so the total property is 78 acres. And we're going to protect 49 acres, so that'll remain 29 <br /> 660 acres. <br /> 661 <br /> 662 Liz Kalies: Okay. Twenty-nine acres will be cleared. <br /> 663 <br /> 664 Beth Trahos: Well, not necessarily cleared. <br /> 665 <br /> 666 Beth Bronson: Theoretically. <br /> 667 <br /> 668 Beth Trahos: 29 acres won't be in tree-save area. Right? <br /> 669 <br /> 670 Don Sever: That's correct. <br /> 671 <br /> 672 Beth Bronson: Right. Okay. So about 50, almost 50 lots at half an acre,and that would be like, again,to clear <br /> 673 the primary drain field and to lay the foundation of the house,there may or may not be room for <br /> 674 trees to be left, but again, as you said,this is going to be up to the homeowner once they <br /> 675 purchase the lot to build. Then they will clear any remaining on their specific parcel. <br /> 676 <br /> 677 Charity Kirk: I think it's the developer that's going to build. <br /> 678 <br /> 679 Beth Trahos: Likely a builder would build the individual homes and sell them to a homeowner. <br /> 680 <br /> 681 Beth Bronson: Yes. <br /> 682 <br /> 683 Beth Trahos: But in the development process, all that will be done is to input the roads and provide a buildable <br /> 684 area for a house and for a septic field. <br /> 685 <br /> 686 Charity Kirk: So,you're doing that? <br /> 687 <br /> 688 Beth Trahos: Yes,the developer does that. Yes, ma'am. <br /> 689 <br /> 690 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 691 <br /> 692 Beth Bronson: And you're saying that that's going to average about 29-30 acres? <br /> 693 <br /> 694 Beth Trahos: That's all that's available, right? <br /> 695 <br /> 696 Don Sever: That's all that's available. <br /> 697 <br /> 698 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 699 <br /> 700 Beth Trahos: So not all of that would be cleared, but that could be. <br /> 701 <br /> 702 Beth Bronson: So less, yeah, 29 or less. <br /> 703 <br /> 704 Beth Trahos: Yeah. <br /> 705 <br /> 706 Taylor Perschau: If I may I think it might be helpful for answering this, actually,so when we're talking about clearing, <br /> 707 and this might help you get a different answer too, Don, but land clearing when we're talking about <br /> 708 right now a concept plan,the acreage of disturbance would be calculated with the construction <br /> 709 drawing set. This project will be considered a common plan of development. And it will require a <br /> 710 stormwater management plan. If we have questions on that,we can ask the county engineer. <br /> 711 That's usually the point at which the acreage for clearing, the erosion control plans, and the <br /> 712 construction set, and the stormwater management plan are brought in. So,the 29 acres is not, I'm <br /> 713 not the developer, but that wouldn't be my answer. If I were a developer, I think this, like the <br />
