1. Sunset Reach - 1110 & 1300 Rock Hill Road - Preliminary Plan Major Sub-division
2. I have visited the site today. The following observations have been made as follows:
a. Entrance gate was open today. Has heavy duty bicycle lock on it. If the gate is closed, it
requires a KNOX Pad Lock or KNOX Key override switch to the gate entry box, along with
siren activation for law & EMS. This gate is also part of the secondary means of egress into
the Back side of the River Bluffs Sub-division and there is a letter on file to allow this gate.
b. Fire hydrants: there is one fire hydrant tat is bagged and one fire hydrant that is broke.
These both need to be repaired as soon as possible. Both CFPUA and the developer have
been notified several months ago about these issues. We are not going to find who is at
fault or ownership, but it goes back a long time now. No Building Permits will be allowed
until these are fixed.
