Item #8: Motion was made by Warner and seconded by Whitehouse to sign Resolution#2022-173 request CCFP-2022-03-April Vaughn/Oaks Timbers for Final Plat for subdivision Oak Timber containing approximately 1 Block and 12 Lots on 40 acres more or less with restrictions to lots 9 and 10 adding a 50' from property line no build, dig or disturbance restrictions and per recommendations of CCPC. Murray stated in 2018 it was rezoned as a 40-acre tract from Agricultural District to Light Residential District, but never developed. In 2022 it was rezoned back to Agricultural District and on 9/22/22 the Preliminary Plat was approved. There are similar rezones in the area. Also, in 1981 the tract was sold and the restrictive Indian Land was no longer in existence. We have received several concerns from neighbors about runoff, additional traffic, aerobic chemical runoff and possible cemetery site where there may be marked and unmarked burial sites within lot 10. We have concerns that some neighbors were not notified of any changes to property and are present today. The CCPC recommended approval on 12/13/22, along with the Planning Office. Murray presented an email received late Friday stating the property to the north is for sale. Stephens stated he was aware of the burial site on previous discussions and thought it was determined to that further research was needed, but I cannot remember the outcome. Murray stated she has reviewed all notes and nothing states about a possible burial site. The Board discussed portion of 9 and 10 and not disturbing the possible sites, but further research needs to be done by the owner. Stephens discussed the federal laws that protect burial sites. Murray stated the addition currently has three existing homes and this will be nine new ones on 2.5-acre or 3.0-acre tracts. Residents Gano Perez Sr., Gano Perez Jr., Donnisha Spicer, Joseph Rogers and Judith Ausmus, Creek Nation Environmental Specialist presented the Board with research of the burial site from the late 1800's and an overlay map of the proposed subdivision showing concerns of marked graves a possible unmarked grave. Residents expressed concerns with runoff will affect the property to the south and north. Current Retention Ponds are a concern with holding additional runoff, when they are already full currently. Aerobic Systems was a concern, along with the possible elevation of development and excavation of the dirt and rock underneath the ground. There were also concerns with the lack of drainage plans for the public to review. Stephens discussed the rights that neighbors have and how another person cannot create intimal harm to your neighbors, you are protected. The County has little authority in the case, but the developer is on notice and has guidelines he must follow, along with the engineers. The Board stated the proposed addition is a great fit for the area and a better plan than the previous one presented. Mr. Vaughn agreed that some kind of sonar is needed on back parts lots 9 and 10 and a waiver will be presented to the buyer at the time of sale or we could extend the current easement.  Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
