Lamb DesjTj Landscape Architecture Land Planning Urban Design July 28, 1993 Mr. John Dorney NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Dear John: - 21993 Enclosed please find Koury Corporation's initial request for a Nationwide Wetlands Permit for property west/north of Trailwood Lane (see location map). Koury Corporation is in the process of developing plans for a residential/golf community located south of their existing "Sedgefield Section Eleven Subdivision". The preliminary concept proposes extending Robeson Road in Section Eleven to meet the existing Tarr Road at the intersection of Trailwood Lane in order to facilitate future access. The first phase of this project includes the relocation and construction of a "new" racquet and swim club to replace an old, obsolete facility currently located on Tarr Road. The proposed site (see location map) provides close proximity to the "old" site, gentle topography for facilities, and requires only a reasonable extension of roadways and utilities to the site. Moreover, this location is ideal because it easily isolates the new club from any future developments because of the existing Duke Power Easement and the proposed roadway extensions. As plans become more defined for the balance of Koury Property, a more complete and comprehensive wetland application will be submitted In the mean time, Koury Corporation has contractually agreed in the purchase contract to open the new racquet/swim club by March 1, 1994. Permitting for this facility, therefore, must move forward if this schedule is to be met. In closing, I thank you in advance for your cooperation and timely review of our permit application. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Yours truly, c kn4x ?t,?A Edward M. Schweitzer 1701 East Boulevard P.O.

John Thomas and Ken Jolly of my staff at the Koury Corporation property located of Pinetop Street, adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Horsepen Creek, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The purpose of these meetings was to conduct field delineations of wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting authority. This letter also confirms the May 3, 1993 wetlands survey verification. Based upon previous onsite inspections and review of the aforementioned survey, we recognize this surveyed alignment to be the limits of our regulatory jurisdiction on the property. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination of the limits of wetlands may be relied upon for a period not to exceed 3 years. Please be reminded that no excavated or fill materials may be placed in any waters or wetland areas without prior Federal permit authorization. Please contact this office for any future proposed impacts in any water or wetland areas subject to Department of the Army permitting authority. Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919) 876-8441. Sincerely, G.

A new racquet and swim facility is proposed along the extension of existing Robeson and Tarr Roads (public roads). Approximately 20 single family lots and a regional stormwater detention facility are also proposed. Water and sanitary sewer lines will be extended to all future lots and the swim club. 13. This project is the first step (phase) in replacing the `old' Sedgefield Racquet/Swim Club with a new facility. Koury Corporation has contractually agreed to open the club by March 1994. This timely move will facilitate the development of Koury property west of existing Tarr Road. A wetlands plan for the balance of Koury Corporation land will be submitted at a later date inclusive of this request. 14. Stormwater management is required for any development in Guilford County. The `concept' management plan (based on watershed size and less than 50% impervious surface) utilizes regional wet detention basins as required by Guilford County. One such facility is proposed at the lowest point on Koury property along the Tan Road extension. This site is the eastern most location for capturing all the watershed's stormwater for controlling flooding and water quality. 411 \ / / \ BoQ •\` J ???\' ?\ / If/ ` I MIA ` I ^\•?
