yes and no. He pointed out where the top of the hill and road would be 1, and where the water would be intercepted. He noted that some of the water that will not go down to the drainageway will be intercepted by the road and sent towazds the interstate highway. Woods asked Post about the second drainageway where an easement has also been placed. He stated that there must be a force main where sewage will be moved from lot ~ to the area on lot 5. He asked how the second drainageway would be prevented from being clogged up by the force main. Post responded that this is a well defined drainageway with a very small amount of water flowing through it. He stated that it is very narrow and shallow and will be buried about 3 Feet with a very modest flow. Al Dodson stated that he lives at the bottom of the drainage. He expressed co,ncem with the proposed drainageway. He noted that the road near his home was upgraded several years ago and the State went from a 12-inch drainage to a 36-inch drainage, which will accommodate a tremendous amount of water. He noted that when the hurricane came through they lost a lot of timber (hardwoods and pines) in that azea. He stated that he is not opposed to the subdivision but is concerned that the drainageways may cause flooding to his property.

He stated that they have designated a corridor about 40 feet with a very nice buffer being maintained within 20-25 feet of the property line. He reiterated that the area is heavily wooded and with a buffer that size there will be a nice separation. He noted that this azea has a drain that is moderately sloping. Kraus asked if it would be a _ gravity fed drain. Post responded no, that it would be a pressure situation. Kraus asked if this was common for developers to design such systems. Post responded yes because it is common practice that the good soils are shazed. Dodson asked if lot 7 would accommodate two septic tanks. Post responded that it would actually be lot S that would have two systems plus the house site. Kevin Huggins stated that he has had experience with lots where the waste leaves the house and goes through a strip of land other that where the. system is and his experience has been that this provides mare leeway for the developers to go azound the trees, etc. He noted that it would have very little impact to the land itself. He pointed out that the developers aze very diligent about trying to save large trees. Kraus asked whom the lots would be sold to. Post responded that the land would be marketed to homebuyers. Kraus asked if any covenants
