      seeking preliminary plat review & approval from Planning to start excavation work, street and

      utility work on a new subdivision known as Chelsea – Phase Two.  This subdivision will be

      located adjacent to the first Chelsea Subdivision off Westminster Drive.  The discussion was

      centered on the retention pond.  Mark Stephens with JBW&T had commented in Staff

      Review that the retention pond was not necessary.  Eddie Perman, PECO Engineering referred

      to Section 315 of the Zoning Ordinance concerning Stormwater Management.  Mr. Parker is

      concerned about the lot(s) having a pond on them and no one wanting to buy the lots.  Mr.    

      Perman stated that the retention pond could be a certain size now to handle any run-off and just

      be temporary.  Mr. Skipper will do calculations & get them to Mr. Perman for review on the size

      of pond that will be needed at this time.  In the future, when MMC Properties develops the next

      phase the retention pond can be moved to accommodate the first two sections plus the new

      development.  Wayne Walden moved and Thomas Moon seconded the motion to give

      preliminary approval to this project with the retention pond being shown on the final plat when

      it is brought back for approval and signatures.  Motion carried unanimously.
