board,good people of our own community,that they get up and send to the appropriate commissioners the strongest possible statement reflecting the opinions of these other home owners who are going to be in a bad spot because of this. Failing to the paving when the subdivision person when the developer should pay it,our well level situations are already starting to suffer because of the draught,no one has any idea when it will end,nor have any hydrologic studies been provided to the commissioners along with any of the other critical information that they should have heard earlier on.I would expect this group of people, you people,to make a very strong stand for what we are trying now to catch up to.We would appreciate any effort on your parts to be heard and heard loudly by these commissioners for the benefit of these homeowners. I thank you. I live at 1715 Borland Rd. close enough that this is going to effect me. John Potter:We moved to this area about 3 years ago now and we are directly behind the comer of this development behind here so we are adjacent to the property.We are bordering right on this property line. I think that is important,if most of the comments are being made are being made to the record,I think it is important to know that this is only 51 acres here.The original sale of this property is more to the tune of 117 acres.The way on this map here we all need to look here because it is part of the record,there is a road that leads up to just about the corner of our property.All those roads are open.This road continues we are sitting right back in here,this road is continued on at some point and this is where a balance of that property begins.I can imagine that there is going to be fiuther development if this is allowed to go through.And I think that is an important point. Let's not forget the other 50+acres that are sitting back in here and what is important about those 50 acres is that a big portion of that is landlocked. The only access to the additional property is through this development. There are two other points that are important. Directly next to us is a 10 acne piece of property that was sold two years ago and they did not find a perc site and had to move on down the road even to build a house. Secondly we have a 400+foot well that only develops about a gallon and a%a a minute. So,there are some real issues out there. Thank you. Bobbie Marshall: I primarily have a question.You were quick to point out before our time to talk that at this point there is nothing that the Planning board can do.My question after making phone calls since I found out about this is can somebody tell us what there is left that we can do. I don't know where to turn with this.We and other people have talked. We have a well that is 550 feet deep,it has already gone dry once because someone at the opposite end of the road put in a well.And ours was completely dry. Even though it is 550 feet deep we get 1 gallon a minute.That is without this additional development. So,if you can either give us information about where we can turn or what we can do or direct me to where we can find that information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Alice Dawson: 2902 Arthur Minnis Rd. I would just like to,kinda like she said,one of the things that is interesting about this process tonight is that the Phuming board and staff are here clearly to assist the developers. I don't mean inappropriately,but that is what you all are doing.Who is going to help us with this?Will you provide the same services and help to us as citizens and land owners in Orange County who have lived in and loved this area as you provided to these developers who are going to come in and destroy what we have all been trying to live for many years. Gooding-Ray: any discussion?I just want to know. My understanding is that we can prepare a resolution to the County commissioners or send a memo to them. Benedict,one thing that I would like for you to address or perhaps you could reiterate what you said before about the process that the County commissioners could go through so that you all can understand what your possible options are. If you can't hear please let us know. Benedict:I will refer this also to the County Attorney because the county attorney will be the one that will be recommending any actions to be taken by the commission which is where it lies at this point.Goof Gledhill, is the county Attorney. Based on tonight's discussion,based on the minutes of this meeting,we will forward all of this information to the County attorney. Any written letter that is not confidential to the
