Resident cites missing stormwater diagrams and developer assumptions in Duncan Manor presentation
Summary
Public commenter Jay Miller told the commission the Duncan Manor packet omitted key stormwater appendices, said the developer appears to assume Onancock will supply water, and urged hiring hydrology experts and mapping town water infrastructure; commissioners said $20,000 is in the proposed budget for a water study.
Jay Miller, who identified himself as living at 79 Market Street, told the planning commission he attended a county planning workshop where Duncan Manor was presented and described what he said were gaps in the developer's materials. "he's assuming that in the part where they're talking about water that he's just assuming that the town of Anamcock is going to give him the water," Miller said, and added that a 17‑page stormwater appendix was missing from the packet he reviewed.
Miller urged the town to map its underground piping, assess the municipal system and hire an independent hydrologist. Commissioners responded that the town's proposed budget included $20,000 from capital reserve for a water study and that staff had requested studies for the next fiscal year. The exchange prompted commissioners to prioritize assembling permit and withdrawal data and to invite DEQ/DEEQ technical staff for a briefing on aquifer permits and the consequences of private wells versus municipal service.
