Ian,
Here are the letters I have received thus far on this Public Notice. You may note that nearly all seem to be
dealing with some aspect of storm water control. Thought you might be interested for your review.

Dear Mrs./ Mr. Monte Matthews,
In response to the recent PUBLIC NOTICE letter from the US Army Corps Of Engineers (Wilmington
District) Corps Action ID# SAW-2006-20747-241 about the wetlands in the growing Randolph County
area.
We are one of the four current residents (property owners) here on Weant Rd. We live across the street
from where the new future LOWES store planning project is being processed.
Do to the traffic that will take place when the future projects are complete LOWES/WAL-MART, are
there any current or future plans to purchase these four properties located between Weant Rd. and
HWY. 62 ?There is a big concern about own property values.
Uyou can lead us in the right direction on this matter it will be greatly appreciated to find out more about
the projects that are taking place or to know about any hearings that will take place so that we can attcnd
the hearings/meetings. Dates, Places, and Times.
Sincerely,

Archdale Partners, LLC /Proposed Shoppes At Bush Hill
From:
Darrell W. and Martha P. Bullock
204 Simmons Creek Ct.
Archdale, North Carolina 27263
rte,,//
~Y~_.
Purpose:
Concerns regarding potential increased flooding of existing residential
properties connecting to the South of proposed development of Shoppes At Bush
Hill.
Location:
Residential properties are located in the Sterling Ridge Subdivision. Affected
properties are bordered on the West side by Aldridge Road - On the East side by
the end of Hope Valley Drive and joins to the South side of the proposed
development of Shoppes At Bush Hill.
Statement:
We are not opposed to this proposed development, but want to make you
aware of an existing and potentially increasing flood problem on our property. Our
goal is to require the developer to address this issue and correct this problem
during the development and construction process. We have owned our home at 204
Simmons Creek Ct. for 8-1/2 years. To the rear of the property is Muddy Creek
and a wetlands area and is in a 100 year flood plain. On an average of one to two
times a year in the Spring and early Summer when we have one to two inches of
rain in a short period of time, we have very heavy flooding on our and adjacent
properties. The water level comes within 25 to 30 feet of our driveway and

garage/basement area. In the years we have lived here, the level of tooding has
increased due in part to housing development to the West of Aldridge Road and the
I-85 Bypass which has increased the amount of water run off under Aldridge Road
and across our properties. The width and depth of Muddy Creek has doubled due to
the force of the water through it behind our properties. Also, on the East side at the
end of Hope Valley Drive, the water can not exit fast enough due to restrictions of
out flow there which causes the water to back up across our properties. Water from
the drain culvert at the end of the roadway at Simmons Creek Ct. is next to my
driveway on the west side of the property and drains via an underground pipe into
Muddy Creek at the rear of the property. Also, on the East side of our property, all
the water from the rear of the houses on Simmons Creek Ct. flow downward
through our yard into Muddy Creek. All of these areas combined is a tremendous
amount of water flowing into Muddy Creek at the rear of our properties. Our major
concern is the potential increased runoff into Muddy Creek from the construction
of the proposed new road and office and light industrial construction to the North
behind our properties. If the flooding increases, it could easily reach our driveway,
garage and basement areas facing towards the rear of the property.
Another issue is regarding the sanitary sewage line that runs West to East across
the rear of our properties. When the water is in the flood stage, water from the
sewage line flows out of the top of the man hole cover. The nest day after the
water has receded, there is a gray residue left on the ground at the rear of our
property. The proposed development plan shows a connection of the sewage line
from that property into the existing sewage line on our properties. Will this
increase the amount of sewage outfall from the existing man hole cover during
times of flooding?
Questions:
The drawings of the proposed development indicate what appears to be a
water retention pond in the area East of the end of Hope Valley Drive .Will this
pond only receive water run off from the property to be developed or will the flood
waters from Muddy Creek to the rear of our properties be channeled into it?
If a public hearing is approved and scheduled, will we be notified by letter from
the Corps Of Engineers or will this be announced only in the local newspapers`?
Requests:
We do ask for your assistance in addressing these flooding issues and their
effects on our homes and properties. We do request that a public hearing be held so
that these issues and concerns can be voiced. I do not know if it is permissible by
your agency, but if someone from your office wishes to have an on site view of

these problems, we would be very happy to be available to you. Can your office
advise us as to your requirements of the developer to issues of this nature?
Enclosed with this letter is a marked up copy of a plat plan indicating the areas of
our properties in relation to the proposed development. Also, the photographs will
show you the flooding areas. There is a brief description written on the back of
each photo giving orientation from our properties to the flooding areas and the
proposed new development.
Thank you very much for allowing us the opportunity to voice our concerns
regarding these issues.
Wi best reg ds,
Darrell W. Bullock

To whom it may concern:
My name is Raymond Prevost and I reside at I04 Jacob Court, Archdale, N.C.
I recently received a letter from the Corps of Engineers (Archdale Partners LLC)
regarding the property that adjoins the rear of our property. I have great concerns
with this project because of the water issues that we already have. If the water issues
are not a top priority some houses in my neighborhood will sustain major flooding.
As it stands now we have all the water that we can handle without anymore being
dumped onus. I would appreciate greatly if we would be allowed a public hearing
to address this issue before this project goes any further along.
Thank you,
,.

Dear Mr Matthews:

. -~,,., ~„ .C
We have received your notice regarding the proposed plans for development of several
acres of land at Highway NC 62 and Weant Road.
We have lived at 7100 Chanterelle Drive, High Point, NC 27263 since 1969 and have
had the blessing of enjoying the "country living" for many years. Chanterelle Drive is in
the development of Canterbury Forest off Weant Road and our property is adjacent to the
proposed development areas.
We are not opposed to progress and change when it is necessary, however, we do have
some concerns about this development so close to our home. We are on well water
(which we love) and also have a septic system. We do not want anything changed or
built that would contaminate our water or cause our septic system not to function
properly. We are also concerned about water run off onto our property from any changes
in the natural flow of the land.
We ask for your consideration to our concerns when deciding whether to approve the
Archdale Partners LLC's application from the Department of the Army to authorize
permanent impacts to the lands in this area.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Phillip and Frances Brown

Raleigh, North Carolina 27615
Dear Mr. Matthews:
,..`.~JGII i~E;GI'1;:1T')'tY Fi?';;.',' OF'F'.'.(''.
We received the notice of the proposed development in our neighborhood and we are
concerned over the matter of water run-off. As we understand it, the Bush Hill
Shoppes will be only yards away from our home. We are the first home on
Staffordshire Drive, 6505; we have a creek that runs a few feet from our home. This
creek has already given us quite a lot of erosion and if run-off worsens we could surely
have a flooding problem, or worse.
We have voiced our concerns with the D.O.T. and they have put in river rock about the
distance of 20 feet. They tell us this is more than they do normally; that they are not
allowed to do more. The depth of this creek, in places, looks to be 4 - 5 feet deep.
When we have a severe downpour the banks can overflow as it is now. It concerns us
that this could become even more dangerous if more water run-off is allowed to occur.
My understanding is that the creek running to the left of our home empties into "Muddy
Creek". {I have seen children playing along the banks after a storm when the creek is
overflowing and it concerns me for their safety) WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO GET
WORSE.
We would appreciate if someone could take a look at this situation, or give us a phone
call please. Our telephone number is 336-431-6793. Our E-mail address is
hluquer@triad. rr.com.
Sincerely,
