A manmade ditch extends northwest along low section of property near bam (See photo 1)- 2.)The northern third of proposed lots will drain north toward Cox property per construction drawings • Physical topography is more complex than contour lines on construction drawings document • Potential impact to Cox property is difficult to determine with accuracy, project engineer may have tc adjust plans as work progresses and drainage patterns become more evident (See memos from Warren Faircloth, Erosion Control Supervisor) 3.) Driveway for O'Daniel property is located slightly southwest of high point in Jones Ferry Road • Nine Gates Road is situated just beyond (further west) of O'Daniel property (See photo 2) • If designed and constructed properly, left turn lane will likely drain southwest along Jones Ferry Road 4.) Existing tree line extends beyond 60-foot Nine Gates right-of--way on either side (See photo 3) • Extent of tree line varies along length of road + There appears to be no less than 3 feet of wooded area between edge of right-ofi way and O'Daniel property in any one area (See photo 4) (b) Anticipating nine trips per day, per lot, the 41-lot subdivision could generate approximately 36f additional car-trips along Jones Feny Road.
