POPE: All right. That's fine.
Mr. Jennings, why did you apply 'ior a PRD zoning as opposed to regular multi -family?
JENNINGS: You mean just a regular subdivision?
POPE: Yes, or regular subdivision either.
JENNINGS: Exactly what is your question again?
POPE: I'm interested in why you applied for this to be a PRO zone as opposed to a multi -family
zone or a single-family zone.
JENNINGS: Okay. Well I didn't need any other type of zoning for it being, having attached
housing. So far as why I didn't apply for subdivision is to allow for the ability to have two-
family lots. Of course, the subdivison ordinance wouldn't allow it. Primarly the driveway ease-
ments that are shown would not be allowed under the subdivision ordinance.
POPE: The subdivision ordinance would also require an access lot to the lake, wouldn't it?
JENNINGS: I'm not sure. If it does, that would be one too. I did provide an easement for the
back property to the water.
The open area for the tract that's shown, I showed because that is a requirement of the PRO
ordinance. It seemed the PRD made the most sense for this particular community, so that's why I
chose it. The open area was a requirement. That looks like a good well lot, and as a future
modification, I could see having an area to locate boat trailers or oversized vehicles.
POPE: Who do you anticipate will own that area designated as open area?
JENNINGS: I actually see that being owned by the public utility. I sea the home owners
deeding that to the public utility, unless there's some problem with that.
POPE: How will the hone owners require ownership?
JENNINGS: Well it will be deeded (not clear). . . .
POPE: Now the PRD ordinance requires that the commissioners be assured that the quality of
water in Lake Norman be protected from discharge and run off and erosion. What plans do you have
for doing that?
JENNINGS: For protecting the waters from the septic tanks?
POPE: From run off and erosion.
JENNINGS: Developing an erosion control and sedimentation plan, which is really already being
implemented presently.
POPE: That is being required by the state?
JENNINGS: Correct.
POPE: How much ground is being cleared of trees for this project?
JENNINGS: The primary road, Sunny Path, and to Ridgeciff community is on Mrs. Cornelius'
.. property. I don't, That would be one area. The Ridgecliff Drive, the street is some 60 x 500 feet,
3/4 of an acre.
POPE: Other than those two streets, is the property primarily wooded?
JENNINGS: Yes, at this time.
POPE: And would the high point on the land be the 8.375 acre tract?
JENNINGS: Yes, it would be. It would be immediately behind #11 and #18.
It's 100' above the dam.
POPE: Any questions of Mr. Jennings?
MILLS: Does it make any difference that there's no foot path from lot #21? Access?
JENNINGS: I think we could allow access from #21.
(Conversation took place among board members regarding the exhibit #1 which is inaudible.)
CROSSWHITE: Where's the foot path that Mr. Jennings
MILLS: Here's the one (not clear) . . . .
' JENNINGS: Right. I wasn't going to show one at all. At the first planning board meeting,
some of the questions that were asked were directed toward providing some way to the water for the
