that's the way it was before.
HEDRICK: This might be a catalyst to get them to put ramps -there.
YATES: There'll be so much traffic up on 115 trying to get overthere, they'll have
to widen that road.
HEDRICK: That concludes that item on the agenda. We appreciate your coming from our
sister county to the south. Anybody need a break?
CHAIRMAN !iEDRICK RECESSED THE MEETING FOR A TEN-MINUTE BREAK.
CONSIDERATION OF MODIFICATION OF PL.NNNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR
HERONWDOD:
HEDRICK: We are now convened into a public hearing for the purpose of considering a
modification of PRD, Special Use Permit, Heronwood and Mallard Head.
BECKHAM: This is a revised site plan for the Heronwood PRD. The only change from
the original is the addition of a wastewater treatment plant. It is not shown on the
original PRD that was approved.
The developers, after consulting with specialists and engineers, have gone from the
original consideration of conventional septic tanks to the option of wastewater treatment
Plant. They show that location on that cove there in the middle of the property. Bert
Walser and Ike Slaughter are here tonight to represent the developers in this modification••
request.
HEDRICK: Bert, would you care to make any comments at this time?
WALSER: Chairman Hedrick, Just very briefly, I don't think there's anything that I
can say that you all are not aware of.
At the time this was originally approved, it was approved for septic tanks. I think
since that time there has been a lot of study and..a lot of.,research by this board of -.
commissioners, by the Heronwood people themselves, meeting with Mr. Weber and Mr.
Williams, and some people down in Raleigh. It appears to be the best available
information that the proper way to proceed is with a treatment plant as opposed to septic
tanks at this time.
This is not being done for any economic purposes. Obviously a treatment plant is
much more expensive than a septic tank would be. But it appears that based on a long term
plant that this is the proper way to go. An arrangement has been made with Carroll Weber,
who is here, and I think all of you know. At this time, I would certainly tender him to
you to let you know what plans, if any, have been made or where they (not clear) . . I
think probably you have a great deal of trust in Mr. Weber, and he is prepared to speak if
you would like to ask him.
That's the only change, no buildings have been moved or anything else to my
knowledge.
HEDRICK: Does anyone else have any comments, Ike, or anyone else?
MILLS: Where would your discharge be, into the cove?
WEBER, Yes, sir. It would be into the area that, the water that borders the Heronwood
development.
MILLS: I was under the impression from something someone had said during these many
discussions that the discharge had to be into the moving water.
WEBER: I'm not real sure just exactly what you are talking. about when you mention
cove. There is a little cove that goes up into the . . . .
MILLS: I'm talking about the site of the sewage treatment plant is about, looks like
it may be 40 to 50 feet from the water's edge?
WEBER: I might better look.
IKE: The discharge was looked at by the local state authorities. Where they said
the discharge would go here and in the main channel. Like from here to this location and
out to the main channel.
WEBER: yes, sir. That is true, not here. It will be way out here.
POPE: Where is the island? Would it be between the (not clear) and the island?
WEBER: Right. I was there when they agreed and they said we would have to go half
way out into this body of water, which is approxima':^_ly 2001.
BRYAN: Would you hold that up and mark where they said this discharge would be?
