Developer outlines infrastructure, costs and wetlands crossings for Michael's Farm subdivision
Summary
The board opened multiple hearings for Michael's Farm where the developer described plans for 125 homes in three phases, lighting by National Grid, OCWA water charged to Town at $64.47/unit annually, 6,650 ft of sewer lateral with 10 forced manholes and drainage featuring 36" storm sewer and retention basins; wetlands and two crossings were noted.
During opening of four related public hearings for Michael's Farm (lighting, drainage, sewer and water districts), Steve Calocerinos, representing the applicant, provided infrastructure and cost details on the proposed subdivision.
Calocerinos said the parcel was rezoned in 2015 and is located across from Waterhouse Road. The development plan calls for approximately 125 homes constructed in three phases in an R-10 zone. Calocerinos said lighting will be provided and maintained by National Grid and water service will be supplied by OCWA; water service to individual units will be charged to the Town of Clay at an annual rate of $64.47 per unit. Sewer work includes roughly 6,650 feet of lateral lines and 10 forced manholes that Calocerinos described as generating a cost of about $22.00 per unit (as presented to the board). Drainage infrastructure includes a 36" storm sewer draining to a catch basin with an annual charge noted as $121.92 per unit; retention basins will carry flows north and will be separate from basins in the Cross Creek development. Calocerinos said two wetland crossings are necessary and some lots will back up to wetlands.
Calocerinos said water and sewer would be constructed together while the overall development would proceed in three phases under developer Heritage Homes. The board opened the hearings to receive public input and asked that technical comments be coordinated with the Town Engineer.
