Motion: David Underwood Second: T.J. Smith Approved: 6-0    Chair Eckman asked County Staff to share the details oft the request.  Bob Remsburg shared the following:  There are representatives here to clarify any of the questions youl had last time. Itis ai major subdivision at 12.08 acres with the smallest lot being almost 44,000 square feet. They are very deep lots and I believe you will have an updated version in front of you.There willl be a long shared driveway which will be maintained by the HOA. There will be a waterline extension with hydrants. There willl be individual septic systems for each lot as well as a sidewalk along brattain road which will help them get their 100 points for construction criteria. There will also be a central mailbox location between lots 6 and 7.Itis located in a growth area according to the Land Use Plan. This is Tim Fesperman "Currently the school system does not allow for kids to walk home from school. Mr Remsburg "That is the first Ihave heard of that. Ia am not sure. From al Planner standpoint, our schools are poorly placed for that. Id can't imagine here in Albemarle that you could not walk to Central Elementary. Icould see: for a safety reason why this would not be allowed. But, concerning the projectIk know you all had tabled this because ofs some questions about the driveway easement and ifit was setback far enough to allow for parking in the front. Hopefully the folks that arel here  zoned RA and there is no change in zoning needed. Have we ever worked with them to understand why?"  can address all of that for you."  Mr. Remsburg shared maps oft the property as well as the proposed plan. Chair Eckman invited those in favor of the request to speak: Eagle Engineering Representatives shared the following:  Iknow there were some questions about the access road coming in and the width of that road with the positioning of the house on that lot with parking. This plan is not updated. We just recently updated the plan and emailed that out today. We did widen the driveway to 20 feet to meet any fire code requirements as well as slide the house pads back to account for a 60 foot driveway to each pad. Wel have spoken to the developer about that and the preference is to reduce that to 40 feet. It would still allow for four cars maximum. The reason for the 40 instead oft the 60 foot is because the 601 foot does push that house pad into the septic area. He wants to have aj patio or deck out back sO that would  conflict with the setback. I think with those couple of changes the plan is updated.  TJ Smith "Both sides of the easement will bei in and out?" Eagle Engineering "Yes, that is correct."  Michael Williams "Are they still planning construction for December of 2024?" Eagle Engineering "I believe if they are able to get permits sooner then it would begin sooner."  Chair Eckman invited any others to speak for or against.  There were none.    Chair Eckman entertained aj motion to approve the Preliminary design for the subdivision on Motion: Michael Williams made a motion to approve the preliminary plan as presented for the  Brattain Road.

This consists of6 60.41 acres on two existing lots. Chair Eckman invited County Staff to share the details oft this request.  Bob Remsburg shared the following:  This is Garmon Mill Phase 2. There are 2 current lots which will be divided into 561 lots with the smallest one being. just over 30,000 square feet. The largest loti is 123, 6907 square feet. The entrance is an extension of Galloway Drive which is inj phase one ofthis project. That does mean that all traffic is coming in and out of River Road. Stanfield water line will be extended and there will bea septic system for each lot. Mr. Burleson can address thej preliminary work with environmental health. There is a stub out to an adjacent property. It is located in a growth area per the 2010. Land Use Plan but the new plan took al lot oft this area out oft the growth area. It is zoned RA and the traffic on this road is about 3,800 vehicles per day. DOT did make a comment which was that the cul-de-sac that exists at the end of Galloway Drive be closed and it be shaved off and be made: more ofai road Mr. Remsburg went through the construction criteria points as well as the plan for thej property.  essentially.  There were no questions for staff.  Chair Eckman invited Mr. Burleson to speak in favor ofhis request.  Mr. Burleson Shared the following:  The one point that Bob brought up about the existing cul-de-sac, we did not actually build that cul-de-sac, we. knew the space would be stuff. The asphalt is straight into thej property currently. We would have had to re-record aj plat toj physically take that off of the map. Soil evaluations have begun and everything is looking decent sO far, we feel confident about it. The property next door was really good soil. So we are confident we will get most of those done but the ones that won't perk we are  going to utilize an engineered system.  TJ Smith "Are there shared driveways on this plan?"    Mr. Burleson "Yes, there are some shared drives but they are wide and will be able to be  maintained."  TJ Smith "On some of these parcels it doesn't look like setbacks are being met from where the Mr. Burleson"We try to get as close as we can but of course all necessary setbacks will be Joel Mauldin "What will the driveway be going back to the lots with no frontage?"
