Notice of this meeting has been posted within the Secretary of State's website.

General Business 3A discussion of the comprehensive plan five-year implementation reporting.

Nicole, we're gonna put that off or we are gonna put that off.

I have not had a chance to get you what you need.

So I'm gonna leave it on the agenda for the next agenda.

So when we have time, we will finish up what we're doing.

Good enough.

Any questions?

I'm just curious what is it?

More sections that you're gonna do.

There's a couple more sections we have to get through, and then we'll take those to create the report for the town council.

Okay.

Yep.

We need to familiarize ourselves with the other sections we've looked at, or just you'll have some new sections.

No, I'll send you the same, the same format we did before.

Okay.

Roland P.

Cardi, a revocable trust for 24 Duck Cove Farm.

Conservation development, a three-lot minor subdivision located at 24 Duck Cove Farm on Assessor's Plat 26 lot 20, zone village residential.

This is a just so you know we give a quick presentation and then you can come on up and say whatever you'd like.

Um this is as Rich mentioned, a unified development application for pre-application for a three-lot minor subdivision, which includes potential variants requests for 24 Duck Cove Farm, which has an existing house on it now, and is a village residential zone property of about 12 acres.

Um the state law has changed a little bit in the in the past, as you know, we we used to require pre-app pre is now optional by state law, but we always request or recommend that applicants come for it.

I think it's a great experience to come and go over the the little minutia with you first before actually putting more money into the project itself.

Um so in this case, the applicant is proposing a three-lot subdivision, and they are coming before you with two options.

One is a conservation development, which would create two residential lots and one open space lot or a three-lot residential compound, which creates two residential lots and one dedicated open space lot.

So they're really not creating the subdivision is the same.

It's whether or not you prefer one method over another.

I will tell you my preference when we get there.

Um the dimensional regulations of the different types of development are different, so that is where you may have some questions or preferences.

But at the end of the day, the project is the same, it doesn't change based on the type of um process you pick.

So the property is located as I said on Duck Cove.

It is along the water, so it's in CRMC jurisdiction.

Um it is also in an area that is has FEMA special flood hazard errors, so it's VE and AE.

Um, so when they're building the houses or constructing the house, they would need to ensure that they're meeting flood code requirements, as would anybody else in any area of the same.

It's nothing unusual.

Um it is we do caution or we do want to make sure that we're cognizant of future resilience issues when we're looking at properties that are this close to the coast.

The site will need a septic system for the new law, and because it's out of the water service area, the applicant has been in touch with the water department who has explained how um or what they need to propose in order to do a service extension, not a water main extension for the proposal.

Um if they have the ability to have a hydrant, the fire department would like a hydrant installed within 100 1000 feet of the new house.

If that can't be achieved, then they would need to put in a cistern or have sprinklers in the new home.

Um that's per the fire code and our fire ordinance.

Like any other development, the access roads must meet the town standards that could include portion the portion of the right-of-way that is with outside of the property itself.

Um and our engineer is requesting that the pre- and post-peak development flow requirements are reduced for them to meet a maximum 25-year storm instead of the 100-year storm.

So we've had that conversation before on small developments like this.

Um page, I'm not gonna go through the whole thing, but on page five of your staff report are the main differences between the conservation development and the residential compound.

Um, I do think personally that this is better fitted as a conservation development.

I believe the residential compound requires that it has frontage on a public road, and I don't believe this does have any frontage on public road.

So my preference is a conservation development, but I'd like the applicant to go over um the pluses and minuses that they see with both application types.

So for both types, they would need frontage relief.

They don't have enough frontage to meet either of the requirements.

The numbers are different, but that is that is the only area where they would need relief.

At this point, if you have any questions.

Any questions for staff?

Joe?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Thanks.

If you can just make sure that the uh microphone is green when you're using it.

Good evening, Joel Rocha, attorney for the uh applicant and owner.
