Commissioner Duffy stated most of the surrounding properties to the north and west are higher than the Battle's property and asked how the drainage will be addressed. Mr. Boyd stated they are required to satisfy the drainage and detention requirements of the Land Development Code. Staff advised that the Engineering Department has reviewed the preliminary drainage analysis for the property and will require a swale to direct the water south to an off-site detention pond. Chairman Byerly asked if the developer was willing to increase the rear building line to twenty-five feet to ensure the houses are further away from the Battle's property. Mr. Boyd stated he feels that change is not needed because the owner's of the lots will likely want to have large back yards, which will place the house at the front building line.
