9) Courtesy variance review, Robert Hargreaves horse farm
14255 Hopewell Rd, Scott Reece
Comments:
(1) Alternative locations?
(a) At the 1050 foot elevation. Applicant stated that grading would
be extensive, and the cost prohibitive,
(b) At the proposed location, but turning the arena parallel to the
stream and moving it out of the required buffers. Applicant
stated that this would interfere with natural drainage paths, and
that green space which is needed to support the horses would
be lost. Also, to be viable, the arena needs to be near the
proposed stable and pasture.
(2) Mediation for buffer encroachment? Applicant stated that the
area was cleared of trees when the dam was built and that it is
currently pasture up to the stream bank. Furthermore, the current
trees on the dam will be removed as part of construction at the
request of the State.
(3) Reduce size? Applicant stated that the size shown (220x110) as
small as possible.
(4) Gravel parking/access? Applicant stated that no additional
parking will be constructed—arena is for personal use only. Access
drive will not encroach into buffer.
(5) Grading? Applicant stated that NRCS wants work to stay out of
drainage ways. The area of the arena is pretty flat, approximately
2’ contour difference. They will remove the crown, and muck,
replacing with a floor to provide stable footing for the horses. There
will be no import of materials; project cannot change the volume of
area. Models will be run as part of the LDP.
(6) Stable/arena visible from road? No, approximately 1,500 feet back.
Neither visible from neighbors.
(7) Board suggests changes to roof line of stable to add visible interest.
Add cupola, vent, loft area, etc.
(8) Board requests that colors of arena remain muted to blend in with
surroundings.
10) Courtesy review, Traffic Calming Details
Carter Lucas, City of Milton Public Works Director
Comments: The Board preferred removable rubber or stamped
concrete speed humps with minimal reflective striping, as well as
chicanes and traffic circles with landscaped center islands.
11) Other business--None
12) Adjournment
