would drain to Elk Creek.
How long would the gravel operation last? Mr. Bestall did not have a specific time frame
available. Until a more detailed design is available this question cannot be answered.
Commissioner Soles asked where the set back begins for the property. Setbacks begin
at the applicant's property line.
Building heights in Planning Area One need to be evaluated 45' high; 30' back is too
close.
What is the percentage of open space for the project? Mr. Bestall, 20 Each planning
area will have its own component.
Commissioner Wolter questioned the placement of a utility easement on the property.
Parkway brought to grade and paved? Mr. Bestall stated as development occurs, yes.
Commission Cook asked about the location of the pedestrian trail. Mr. Bestall stated it
would be a new trail that would tie to the parkway.
Commissioner Shapiro is concerned with the amount of density in the plan. Mr. Bestall
stated it is hard to predict based on the economic climate.
Letters from the public were read into the record.
County Commissioner Newberry County Planner Manguso answered questions
