NC line)

Open Space/ Stormwater Station
1. Likes the Pleasant Grove Pkwy alignment, especially near West Road
2. Ample green space- good
3. Doesn’t like the conservation designation on his property (Teeuwen Greenhouses)
4. Impervious surfaces create a problem for drainage. Need to provide for pervious surfaces, porous
5. The plans are looking good. It’s good to have a plan up front so that growth doesn’t happen willy-nilly when
Veterans Bridge opens
6. Consider closing Shillelagh Road ditch (culvert) in urban area at Dominion Blvd
7. Bike paths along recreational ditches are good
8. Try and preserve open space for a middle school near Grassfield High School
9. Need to replace Deep Creek lock bridge
10. Need to consider who would maintain and protect ditch features
11. Need facilities and amenities to keep people here. Not strip centers and cookie cutter subdivisions
12. Concerned about impact of storm drainage on Bells Mill Rd. area
13. Bike paths are needed along roads in the area. Not good now
14. Forested area at end of Vincek Way is gone now
15. Maybe consider collecting water and using it to serve water needs of residents & businesses
16. Cahoon Pkwy alignment is a little off
17. More connectivity for Herring Ditch Road not good
18. Newer stormwater management systems are good (examples)
