homes along Nike Park Road and Battery .Park Road. He stated there are
other projects that have been approved, but not yet built, that will add to the

Supervisor Bradshaw concurred with Chairman MacManus'
comments pertaining to detail, as well as the vagueness of cash proffers. He
stated, with respect to fire and rescue, response time and support for rescue.
have been a major. concern; with respect to transportation, he does not know
how any increased traffic can be handled in this already congested area,
particularly at peak times; and, with respect to the environment, the Town of
Smithfield should follow the same .guidelines as the County, and there
should be an evaluation and recommendation from CBLAD.
Supervisor Claud noted it would be very difficult for the County to be
able to support the proposed three (3) year build-out for schools and other
infrastructure. He further noted that the Town of Smithfield should use the
same philosophy as the County in collecting proffers, as the proffers offered
are inadequate to address public facilities.

Bradshaw, Bradby, Clark and Claud. voting in favor of the motion, and no
Supervisors voting against the motion.
Chairman MacManus reiterated to Mr. Hartley that the cash proffers
are inadequate; copies of the draft Cash Proffer Study should be provided to
the Planning Commission; any infringement into the RPA could be a
significant liability as it is the responsibility of the Homeowners'
Association; is there sufficient frontage provided through that area to allow
Battery Park Road to become afour-lane road in the future; further address
the new utilities being placed underground, as it infers that there is a
differentiation between new and older existing utilities not being placed
underground; there should be proffered conditions pertaining to pools and
pool decks, as well as specifics to tying those along with their clubhouse; the
size of the pool should be reconsidered in view of the estimated 200+
school-age children; further address pedestrian nature trails and bicycle
walking paths that would be linked to other communities; require specifics
on the proposed medians, specifically whether they intend to provide a
median throughout the community; further define numerous open spaces;
address BMPs, discharge. easements as they pertain to Homeowners'
Associations; provide protection to future homeowners by ensuring that the
foundations do address the soil; require environmental impact studies and
historical. and archeological surveys to ensure that this development is the
one being promised to the Town in this application.

Board of Zoning Appeals workshop on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 from 3:00
