Linson Ridge Subdivision: Preliminary Plat Approval

Mr. Byrd provided the board with the following information.

See Attachment 1 : E-Mail from Darrell Bowen

Phase IV of Linson Ridge Subdivision consists of lots 30 through 38. The subdivision is zoned Residential 3 for single family homes. The Town of Waynesville and Haywood County meet the subdivision along the ridgeline.

The erosion in Linson Ridge appalled Mr. Case. A small stream runs into an artificial waterfall that is full of sediment and then runs into Factory Stream that in turn runs into Lake Junaluska.

Mr. Brede concurred adding that the same problems are taking place in the Spy Rock Road area. Stronger erosion control measures are needed to protect the adjoining property owners.

An erosion control plan has not been approved by the State for the Linson Ridge Subdivision Phase IV. The creek Mr. Case mentioned does not affect Phase IV.

The board agreed that subdivision standards and erosion control are major problems causing frustration when guidelines and revisions are brought before Council and no action is taken.

Ms. O”Keefe suggested Mr. Byrd do on-site inspections, take pictures of trouble areas and document all issues.

Mr. Case asked that a plan for reseeding and landscaping be submitted and the buffer along the stream should be shown on the plan.

Review of Preliminary Plat: <Not an approved erosion control plan

<No reseeding and landscaping plan in place

<The creek is not shown

<The size of parcels are not shown.

Slightly over six acres are not included in the plan due to topography. The surveyors feel the area cannot be accessed. The area could possibly be used for a common area.

The Legend should reflect: Road Names

Name of Sub-divider and seal

Distance to nearest fire department

Note that city water and sewer has been approved

A fire hydrant requires a six-inch line.

MR. CASE MADE A MOTION TO SEND BACK THE PLAT TO THE PLANNER FOR CORRECTION NOTED.

MR. BREDE SECONDED THE MOTION.

MOTION CARRIED.
