Bobbie Jones stated that according to the ordinance, the sidewalk is required only on one side of the street. Hunnicutt asked about the radius at the intersection of Highway 71 and the proposed access street. Ervan Wimberly stated that he had talked to the Highway Department and a 50 ft. radius can be provided at the entrance. Hunnicutt stated that the maximum length of a dead end street requirement will not apply in this case, as the first phase of development contains only 720 ft. of street. Hunnicutt asked what had been done to flatten grades within the development. Wimberly stated that the maximum grade will be 11.7%. He stated that at the entrance to the development, the grade will be 2% for 20 ft. Bobbie Jones stated that the code states that grades within 100 ft. of an intersection in hilly terrain must be less than 4%. Frank Farrish stated that if the 2% grade is carried back that will make the grade back up the hill that much steeper. The Committee discussed the proposed detention pond. Bill Storey stated that Mr. Parks had submitted plans to his hydrologists Mr. Evert L. Ackslan Van Vriesland and that if these are the plans Mr. Vriesland approved, that Mr. Parks has no objection.
