Board received materials required. Enough information has been submitted that this board feels that the access road is doable, therefore Boulders was notified this night that they are grand fathered to a 30 foot right away. There was an introduction of a DOT letter pertaining to the proposed barricading of Terrace Drive. This letter indicated that was not acceptable and stated that Terrace would need to be widened from the highway to Silver City Road. Terrace will need to be widened to 18 feet. See attached. The developers will need to research deeds and find out about right a ways on Terrace Drive. This board feels that we should have a public meeting so the residents of Chimney Rock will be made aware of what is going on and how it will affect them. See attached report from Schnabel Engineering South for Boulders and BLE, Inc. for Chimney Rock Village. Much discussion followed about slope stability, road stability and height, water flow from the mountain, drainage culvert capacity. Boulders was informed of damage from 1996 flooding due to soil movement, water flow, and structure sliding down the mountain, the loss of three bridges, and therefore, some of the long time residents have major concerns because they have seen what destruction there has been from prior flooding and rainfall events.

Erosion control plan has been submitted to DEHNR. The board questioned who would be responsible for the road over the easement- road, culvert, drainage, maintenance, etc. Boulders responded that the home owners association would be responsible. The HOA would take road responsibility, maintenance, drainage, etc. This board was assured that road responsibility would be in each deed. In addition, the deed would reflect that the HOA would forever be responsible for the water system, since it is not being built to Chimney Rock Village specifications. This water system is the sole responsibility of Boulder Mountain as it is being built to their specifications and not to Chimney Rock Village specifications, such as placing the pipe under the mechanical grid of the wall, as well as the type of pipe being used, etc. The board questioned the future location of the water storage tanks, as they were not shown on the sketch plan presented.
