Board tables Clayton Homes subdivision after missing owner certificates and resident water concerns
Summary
Scotland County Planning Board voted to table Major Subdivision application 545-26 (Clayton Homes) after staff found required owner certification and signature items missing on the plat and residents raised concerns about well reliability and traffic safety; the board asked applicants to provide corrected certificates, well-contractor statements, environmental-health documentation and a GIS mapping of affected wells before the next meeting.
The Scotland County Planning Board tabled Major Subdivision application 545-26 (Clayton Homes / Wade Manage the Third) after staff and board members identified incomplete or incorrect owner certification on the submitted plat and neighbors raised concerns about well-water reliability and road safety.
At the hearing, staff and board members pointed to missing owner-name fields and the wrong notarized owner's certification on the plat. A board member said: "You're supposed to be on the plat too" when noting the owner's name was absent from the certification block; other members asked that the corrected owner's signature and notarization be added. The board also noted the submitted plat appeared to rely on GPS/VRS survey data and reminded the applicant that state GPS certification requirements apply when GPS surveying is used.
Residents who live near the proposed Laurel Hill site told the board they had experienced well failures and offered to bring signed statements from affected neighbors. One resident said he and others had collected signatures and would bring them to the next meeting; the board asked for GIS mapping of the properties with reported well problems so staff could see the locations relative to the proposed subdivision. The applicant said environmental health had inspected drain-field locations and that a well contractor had drilled to check depth and conditions; the applicant offered a written report from the well contractor and noted warranty terms the home retailer offers for manufactured homes.
Given the incomplete certification items on the plat and outstanding documentation requests, a member moved to table application 545-26 until the next meeting so the applicant could provide corrected owner certification, well-contractor statements and environmental-health paperwork; the motion passed. The planning board set its next meeting for April 8 at 6:00 p.m. and asked the applicant to return with the requested documentation and any resident petitions.
