RE: Westerfield Farms Section II
August 2007
Staff met with Thomas Blue (engineer) and informed him that the Preliminary
(approved 8/1/05) was expired.
Mr Blue informed staff it had changed from its previous design due to soils issues
(no mention of PU issues, sewer, etc).
So, staff informed either way Prelim would have to be reapproved, this time by
the new DRB.
Also explained to Mr Blue that new subdivision standards were being finalized,
so if the revision was not submitted soon, these new regs would apply.
8/9/07:
Mr Blue emailed a revised Westerfield Farms II, Sect 1, Ph 1 preliminary
plan. He was informed that a thorough review is not done on plans until
submitted. He is informed of the submittal process the same day.
After the meeting and emails, staff presumes that a revised Prelim, showing all
proposed phases, will be submitted for reapproval to avoid new s/d standards.
Later, Mr Blue schedules another mtg w/ JJ. Again the submittal process and new
standards are discussed.
Nothing was ever resubmitted.
**Septmeber 2007 new standards are approved**
October 8, 2007
Thomas Blue calls to ask about submittal process again. As before, he is
informed about the process and the new standards.
January 29, 2008
Scott Brown (another engineer) calls staff to ask about the status of this project
and how to get it going again.
Mr Brown is informed that this Prelim has expired, needs to go back to DRB for
reapproval, and is to follow the new standards.
May 2008
Tom Etowski calls JLS to request a mtg about getting ‘a subdivision going’.
5/27/08:
JLS meets with Tom and Mike Etowski to discuss Westerfield I PH III.
That is discussed and quickly resolved, w/ help from ML.
Westerfield II, is brought up and Tom and Mike talk extensively about the PU
issues.
JLS informs him that their concerns are understood, but a decision on this issue
should come from a supervisory level.
5/28/08:
TE sends an email, JLS responds advising him to wait for Harnett
County Legal determination.
JLS and JJ meet w/ JJS to discuss options.
June 11, 2008
The entire Westerfield Farms II project is submitted for DRB review.
JLS informs TE, via email, that even though it’s expired, if Ph1 of this project is
not changed it will be grandfathered b/c of previous approval. The remaining
phases will have to meet new standards.
June 23, 2008
TE receives a copy of the DRB staff report (review of the submitted overall
Prelim/ master plan)
June 25, 2008
TE sends Mr House a letter explaining how he has been mislead and misinformed
about his project.
