Ai`�►l►� March 25, 2010 Sue Homewood Winston-Salem Regional Office NC Dept. of Environmental Quality Via: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form RE: DWR#20200330 Dear Ms. Homewood, In response to your request for additional information for the proposed Williard Place subdivision we offer the following comments: 1. The impact to the stream has been minimized as follows: a. Protected stream buffers will be established along the sides of this channel, 50' each side or 100' total width. b. The stream buffers will not be placed in ownership by each individual lot purchaser. Instead ownership will be placed under the collective control of the homeowners' association. This will insure proper long-term maintenance and viability of the stream buffer. It will also reduce the potential for unauthorized encroachments or other impacts to the stream buffers such as clearing, grading, fences, structures and the like. c. Total stream impact is limited to approximately 82 LF because the bubble of the cul- de-sac was moved southward to the property line rather than being centered over the stream. 2. The stream crossing is unavoidable for the following reasons: a. There are approximately 1.2 acres of useable land south of the intermittent stream and outside of the stream buffer that is otherwise inaccessible from the remainder of the site unless a crossing is added. b. We are setting aside 0.27 acres of that acreage as common area but including the five (5) building lots and the cul-de-sac on the remainder. Windsor Investments PO Box 9147 • Greensboro, NC 27429 Phone 336-282-3535 • Fax 336-282-3508 c. The value of the five (5) lots exceeds the cost of constructing the road across the stream, consequently it makes economic sense to build the road crossing. d. Housing is in extremely high demand in this location of north High Point. We are adding density to the overall site plan by creating these five additional lots. Most municipalities encourage higher density in urban areas with available water and sewer capacity as a method to combat sprawl. e. The economic viability of the project would be jeopardized by the loss of these five (5) lots given the high cost of the land and development costs associated with this desirable location. I hope this explanation proves satisfactory and will enable review of our application to continue. If not please contact me with any further requests.
