(6 restricted with lesser weight so it would not be downgraded. Another concern about traffic was the road does dead end and there was no turn around. There was a concern about not allowing traffic not being allowed to turn around. We felt it would we should install a sign, `This is a dead end road please do not enter". Other concerns were water, which was duly addressed, the ongoing management of the project. We elected to do all the construction at once and not phase it out. The integrity of the setbacks are not shown on here but the lots being the size they are, we were able to encourage the building well within the lot itself. That makes for the ability to have significant setbacks. Originally we were proposing a signification component of open space on the left end trying to encourage the continuity with the Eno River Association and have less open space around the perimeter. In lieu of that plan, we increased the perimeter of open space and increased the setback area and recognized secondary setbacks. We also incorporated many green policies in the homeowner's declaration, which are available. We are trying to encourage the green spaces in all the communities. Larry Wright: My question deals with odors, how you will protect the homeowner from dealing with an irate neighbor over the smell of manure pile that has been there for 30 years? Jeff Peloquin: I believe there is a standard in the policies that existing properties are recognized. If you want to have that incorporated in the homeowner's association, which would be fine. Craufurd Goodwin: This seems to deserve a formal, written response. We have a responsibility to be concerned for the welfare of the neighbors. Jeff Peloquin: For the most part it is via the homeowner's association declaration including the landscape plan. Craufurd Goodwin: Then they could be answered quickly, (i.e., see page 46). Jay Bryan: We could make that part of the conditions. Jeff Peloquin: Everything that is of legal statue and concern and even not, has been and is being addressed. Jay Bryan: Are there any individuals from the public that would like to speak. Melinda Ruley: I will be the only speaker on this subject tonight. I speak on behalf of my family and the neighbors. You have the ability to make any recommendations you wish.. We are grateful to the Planning Board for reducing the number of lots in this subdivision. It is still larger than we would like. You have the set of detailed requests we spent a lot of time on. They fall into two general categories, construction traffic and creating a development that is in character with the existing rural community. We did not get the large lot we hoped for and we have been told that this will be sold to tract developer once it is approved. We have asked the applicant to look at the details you have. In this part of Orange County we are just barley holding on to our rural designation so of course, we object to the threat of more traffic, houses and lights. We are asking you help to see that this subdivision does not become one more suburban development of the kind that is eroding the rural character. We ask that you recommend that our requests be satisfied. I have been puzzled over the stub out. I have to conclude that stubs outs are a dodge for the developer who reports to solve problems but am putting them onto the next property owner to solve his problems for him. Would it be better to require the applicant to design a subdivision that fits the space he has? I would ask that you recommend that stub outs be removed from this development. Thank you for your time and consideration. Michelle Kempinski: What recourse would the property owner have if their property were damaged. like this?
