l~ <br />19 <br />generated from this development will be greater than expected <br />expenditures the County will incur as a result of the development. <br />The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat for <br />Woodgreen Subdivision with public roads and subject to the conditions <br />contained in the Resolution of Approval (an attachment to these minutes on <br />Pages '~ ~';j ~.. )• <br />Barrows, referring to Lots lA and 2A, asked how much of those lots will <br />consumed by septic related activities. The applicant responded that the <br />total for repair area and the septic system is 12,000 sq. feet. Lot lA would <br />have 5,000 additional squaze feet and lot 2A is almost double. Barrows <br />continued that the reason for the question was that she understood, in . <br />flexible development, that only half the open space could be used for septic <br />fields and repair area. Lincoln responded that rear portions of lots 1 and 2 <br />are also open space; therefore, more than 50% will-not be taken up with <br />septic and repair area. Lots indicated as 1 A and 2A are part of Lot 1 and 2. <br />They are not sepazate lots. <br />Barrows referred to Article VII, Use Restrictions, Section 2 which states: <br />"Single-family residential" purposes may include "light <br />housekeeping" apartments containing no more than one <br />bedroom. <br />She asked if this meant that there could be a house and cone-bedroom <br />apartment on a .92 acre lot. The applicants responded that the Health <br />Department had approved the lots for three bedrooms, so the total could <br />only be three bedrooms. He felt it unlikely that there would be a two- <br />bedroomhouse and cone-bedroom apartment. <br />Lincoln noted that the Resolution is subject to review and approval by the <br />County Attorney. She also clarified that even though the open space is <br />individually owned as part of the lots, there will be a Homeowners <br />Association which will ensure that the covenants aze met. <br />Barrows expressed concern that those purchasing lots may not be aware that <br />they cannot use the conseFVation easements on the lots. The applicant <br />responded that the covenants state that the developer maintains azchitectural <br />control until 75% of the homes are occupied, so, the precedent will be set <br />and the plat would be utilized in the sales materials to ensure that the buyer <br />is aware of any and all restrictions. <br />MOTION: Strayhorn moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. <br />Seconded by Selkirk. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. <br />AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC HEARING (FEBRUARY 22,1999) <br />a.
