8. Utilities: Describe the existing water, sewer, and road systems at the site. Describe any water, sewer, or road systems included in the proposed project. Attach a separate page if needed. There is an existing sanitary sewer line located along the eastern and northern property line of the site. The sanitary sewer line has a manhole and stub -out to serve the property and is located on the property near the southern portion of the pond with two other access points available along the property line for use. There is also an existing water line located on the southern portion of the site that can be tapped for domestic water usage. All irrigation and other non - potable water use will come from the existing pond which has a state of the art pump facility and pre - installed piping. The pre - installed piping is routed throughout the site and will serve as an irrigation supply. The only "established" road system through the site begins on the southernmost portion of the property on Wallace Road and continues across the railroad tracks then runs parallel with the tracks from West to East across the site to the southeastern corner of the property. This road system is gravel only and has been used primarily for site access. The roadbed is well established and will be a fair starting point for the planned access road improvements. Other than the established gravel road, there is an established farm road that is grassed and is primarily used to access the cows that were grazing on site. The planned roadway throughout the site will follow the established farm road to minimize additional site impacts. There is also an overhead utility corridor that bisects a portion of the site from South to North which includes an established 66 foot easement for Duke Energy. This easement will not impede the proposed development of the park facilities and will be crossed under with the planned roadway. 9. Site Clearing: How many acres are to be cleared for the proposed development? Traditional clearing methods will not be used on this site. Only the footprint of proposed amenities along with a minimal disturbance of the surroundings will be cleared. For trail construction, the least invasive path will be chosen as construction begins. Therefore, it is difficult to state how many acres will be cleared for the proposed development, but in Phase 1, in which grant money is being requested, less than two acres will be cleared and for complete build out conditions, we anticipate that less than 5 acres will be cleared out of the 190 acres of the park. The park is being designed as a passive park and strong emphasis is being placed on preserving the natural feature of the site. 10. New Facilities: If a new indoor facility is proposed, how large is the facility's footprint or square feet of ground covered? Traditional clearing methods will not be used on this site. Only the footprint of proposed amenities along with a minimal disturbance of the surroundings will be cleared. For trail construction, the least invasive path will be chosen as construction begins. Therefore, it is difficult to state how many acres will be cleared for the proposed development, but in Phase 1, in which grant money is being requested, less than two acres will be cleared and for complete build out conditions, we anticipate that less than 5 acres will be cleared out of the 190 acres of the park. The park is being designed as a passive park and strong emphasis is being placed on preserving the natural feature of the site. 12 Attachment number 1 F -3 Page 112
