engineering services for 12" water main extension to new high
school site on Old Waynesboro Road, was read.
Mr. Brigham: I so move.
Mr. Handy: Second.
Motion fails with the Chairman voting "No".
A request to adopt the Stormwater Management Plan Technical
Manual, was read.
Mr. Oliver: I think it would advantageous to require any
person building on a piece of property to have a location survey
done stating the elevation of the floor slab and that it is not
within a 100-year flood plain. This will ensure that it is not
within a drainage easement or a right-of-way. I think it would
complement this particular manual.
Mr. Toole: Most lending institutions would require this but
it would be no problem to include that.
I
Mr. Brigham: I make a motion that we approve it with the
addition of that amendment.
Mr. Chairman: I'll second that.
Mr. Wall: We have some things in there that should be
included with the current manual.
Mr. Brigham: I'll also accept that those addendums be
approved as part of the current manual.
Motion adopted unanimously.
[Item 2. Consider approval of the deed of dedication,
maintenance agreement and road resolution(s) for Pepperidge

recommendation.
The Committee next discussed Spring Grove Road.
Mr. Goins: We had a request from a gentleman in that area
to close the street. Traffic Engineering did some traffic counts
and we would suggest that a public hearing be held so that the
neighborhood can have input into a possible closing of this
street.
The Clerk: This was put on at the request of Mr. Brignam.
Mr. Chairman: We've lost our quorum so we'll adjourn the
