Board asks how residents will access development; water and wastewater plans remain contingent on testing
Summary
Board members asked about access for neighboring tracts, expected vehicle traffic and wastewater options; the applicant said access would be via Flat Rock Church Road, shuttle and docks, and that wastewater may be septic or community systems depending on soil testing and water‑service negotiations with Piedmont.
Commissioners and the applicant discussed how neighboring properties would access their land and how the project would handle water and wastewater. The applicant said the assembled parcels provide road access from Flat Rock Church Road and that the design includes separate service and member entrances; he emphasized an intent to maintain or improve existing easement access for adjacent owners.
On utilities, the applicant said they are "trying to see if we can get water from Piedmont" and that wastewater would "most likely" use septic solutions — either individual systems or a community septic arrangement depending on soil testing and proximity of facilities. The civil engineer added that stormwater detention ponds and channel protection measures will be employed in drainage plans.
Board members raised traffic concerns and asked whether a traffic study had been completed; the record shows the conditional‑use process does not require one, and staff said a traffic study was not part of the current submission. The board conditioned its recommendation on technical plan details to be developed and reviewed during permitting.
