to be able to access all points of the development Upon questions by Commissioners Larry Wood and Butch Lawter , Mr Newton stated while the language regarding how far apart the entrances should be is not definitive , if the entrances are located too close together , that could be an issue Mr Newton stated when there are more than 100 lots , at a minimum , a second emergency service access with breakaway gate is needed The Board continued to discuss a second entrance point and the possibility that the proposed location of the second entrance is too close to the main entrance , which could prohibit emergency vehicles from accessing all sections of the residential development Mr Dalton stated he understands the concerns of the Board regarding the second entrance and if it is acceptable , he believes there is a possibility of looking at having a second entrance to the west of the proposed commercial development Mr Dalton stated they are willing to do whatever it takes to make the

such time as the road improvements are made , the access would revert back to a right - in right - out Mr Dalton confirmed they will add that statement on every single family lot sold Chairman Godwin asked for more information regarding the type of secondary emergency access Mr Newton stated a breakaway gate would allow emergency personnel to utilize the secondary emergency access point and the gate would simply breakaway as emergency trucks entered Mr Newton stated this would allow 124 units to be developed Mr Dalton stated they are agreeable to the emergency access with breakaway gate Commissioner Carver asked for a clarification on the secondary entrance Mr Newton stated he recommends the Board make the secondary entrance a condition that approval of the development is subject to an approved site plan by staff Mr Newton stated the applicant will be required to resubmit a full site plan along with a full set of construction documents Margie Riedel , 182 Ainsley Court , Clayton , asked the Board to look at the impact the development would have on schools in the area Ms Riedel stated she believes developers should have to pay an impact fee Upon a question by Commissioner
