BECKHAM: In my opinion, for example, what's shown as 0 and #2 could possibly revert to just
one structure. Number 3, for example, in my oninion, could not become two.
MILLS: No. I'm talking about the seventh duplex or multi -family proposal that's presented.
BECKHAM: I misunderstood your question.
MILLS: Okay. They can be split up or they can be built as a duplex.
BECKHAM: Split up meaning separated with air space?
MILLS: Separated, and, well you'd have to, I think we need to take Mr. Jennings, maybe he can
answer the questions.
POPE: I will reserve the right to recall Miss Beckham to answer further questions.
MILLS: The other question that I have is that if this subdivision, this PRO, is approved, can
we approve it orith septic tanks and without the right of the developer to build a wastewater
treatment facility.
BECKHAM: In my opinion, yes, that could be a condition for approval.
MILLS: Right.
POPE: Any other questions of Miss Beckham? All right. We'll hear now from Mr. Jennings.
James Jennings administered oath by Clerk to the Board.
POPE: lir. Jennings, you may make any opening statement and present any evidence that you would
like at this time.
JENNINGS: Okay. I think in the interest of time, I would like to just let the planning
department's presentation be the list of facts about the development, and I will just clear up the
questions that were raised earlier.
The liability insurance, part of the ordinance, if that, I would like, if we could, we haven't
talked about this, but if it could be a condition of the special permit also that we don't have
that, that would be, I think, appropriate.
We are dealing with a series of six single-family lots, four two-family lots on the waterfront.
The concept behind that was that on the lots in these inlets and these two-family there would just
be one pier serving two families. Those pieces of land are large enough to divide into two or more
lots, and my thought about it is they can be deeded, I have showed the side lines of the lots as
opposed to just showing a plat with just 21 homes to show what will actually be deeded to each
homeowner. This is very similar to a subdivision, with just a few changes that you all have already
brought up. And so the idea would be that someone could subdivide the boundary that shows homes #1
and #2 into two homesites. The restriction that I will place is that they will have one pier, and
POPE: Excuse me, your intention, then, that that actually could end up being two single-family
dwellings?
JENNINGS: Correct.
BECKHAM: With air space? ....
JENNINGS: Yes. That someone could actually, if the market wanted to build two homes under one
roof, then fine. If they'd rather do it separately on that tract,
POPE: The maximum density on that lot would be two units?
JENNINGS: Correct.
JENNINGS: Ridgecliff is a restricted community to the extent there will be many deed restric-
tions. The one that was brought up about Vie size is 1800 sf of heated area, minimum per home.
POPE: Is that for the multi -family homes as well?
JENNINGS: Yes. The other thing about building. This is just, all that is being offered here
is land. My intention in marketing this is just to market property and not to build two-family
homes or single-family homes either one. But basically just to sell single-family or two-family
lots and the back acreage, sell that however that, as one tract or two or up to as many as seven
homes.
The sewage disposal will be septic tanks and nitrofication fields. The power is will be by
electrici'cy, and the water is well water. It will be a community water system or individual wells.
Most likely, community water.
POPE: Ha,,e you had any conversations with any public utilities concerning operating a communi-
ty well? ,
JENNINGS: I have not. The question was acked earlier to Lisa shout the opposition at the last
