You will find xny reason ins in the interpretation and application of <br />the specific subsection cited for denial. My concept plan application was denied an July <br />20, 2000 f'ar ihia reason, however, ?was contacted by the planning dopartmeazi a few days <br />later and informed that upon further review Crovinda I3i11s lies ful~- fn the protected <br />watershed line afthe Upper Eno Protected .one. I was told to rework my private mad <br />justification and did sa according to recommendativng by Robert Davis and Tom King sa <br />that my plan could bs reconsidered by Development Review. Again I was denied and <br />told that in order to be consistent, twice the minimum lot size would need to be met. I <br />was also informed that the Plantrirtg Director, Govnty Nfanager, and the County Attorney <br />were meeting to discuss a policy regarding the handlitxg of current proposals and if the <br />new private road standards to bC placed before the $oard of Commissioners could be <br />enforced on these existing proposals. The reason I submitted my concept plan on July <br />20th after the courtesy review was according to the Platuiing Department I could be an <br />the agenda of the August 15s' Camtrrissinners meeting and be heard based an the <br />standards we have been working from for the past two years. <br />As stated in my Frivate Road Justification, the four lots proposed will average $0,150 sq. <br />ft., over twice the required minimum ;rixrs in the Upper Fno Protected 2.one. The eight <br />lots in Covinda Hills will be within the current nunnber of lots allowed fior the existing <br />Class `B" private read standards. In its ~ phase (3ovinda Hills wd.I be mote <br />conforming and exceed most existing standards of the minor subdivision code. <br />I can be reached at 932-1SS3 ar 99Q-] 932 far any questions regarding this appeal. <br />Ttespectfully, <br />Scott Farley <br />
