Mr. Julian Clark and Mr. Jim Giancola were present to address the Board. Mr. Clark said they are proposing a 79 lot subdivision with mostly single family homes and about 20 attached homes. He said the development will have public water, sewer, roads and drainage. He said they have created three stormwater management areas.
Mr. Sykes said the town has previously formed the districts for water, sewer, drainage and lighting. Mr. Sykes said Mr. Hoy has approved of the drawings as well.
Mr. Clark said the project will be constructed in phases with the first being off Van Buren Road. He said the development will have a second road cut on Ellsworth Road.
Mrs. Parks, Van Buren Road, asked where on Ellsworth Road the new road is proposed because there are site distance issues near the hill behind the Town Hall.
Mr. Clark said they have done a traffic study and have received approval for the road off Ellsworth Road and the site distance was taken into account.
