12" 81 c <br /> entrances to the site have good sight distance in both directions. <br /> The service entrance which is 186' north of the public entrance <br /> should be paved according to state secondary road standards rather <br /> than be a gravel road as suggested in the application. <br /> The physical character of the site lends itself to the proposed <br /> development. The site plan shows a 100' wide buffer along the property <br /> lines to the north, east and south. The high elevation of the site <br /> is 702' near where the developer proposed to install a radio communi- <br /> cation tower to a low point of 631' near the northern property line <br /> at NC 86. The site plan indicated that a good amount of the existing <br /> vegetation should remain, there will be considerable clearing and <br /> grading involved in the construction of the proposed outdoor storage <br /> areas. <br /> The building-does not exceed the maximum allowed floor areas, or <br /> heights. Nor does it exceed the maximum allowed intensity of develop- <br /> ment. The signs, used to identify the project and give directions within <br /> the project shall meet all sections of Article 9. <br /> This concluded the verbatim portion of Mr. Cannity's evidence; he cited Plan- <br /> ning Staff's suggested conditions if the Permit-is approved. Those conditions •follow: <br /> 1. That all signs for the development shall be according to <br /> Section 7.16 and Article 9 of the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> 2. Drainage, soil'erosion and sedimentation plans shall be <br /> reviewed and approved by,Orange County. The installation <br /> of control devices and on going construction work shall be <br /> inspected by Orange County. The site shall at all times be <br /> in conformance with the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation <br /> Control Ordinance. <br /> 3. That the proposed dumpster be placed an a 10' x 20' concrete <br /> pad 6" thick, with wire mesh. ' <br /> 4. That the service entrance from NC 86 to the entrance gate <br /> into the storage yard be paved to NC DOT secondary road stan- <br /> dards. <br /> 5. That the developer mark the 100' buffer on the perimeter <br /> of the site and take precautions to insure that the grading <br /> contractor does not disturb the area. <br /> 6. The final site plan and narrative of the project incorporating <br /> all changes, deletions and additions through the final approval <br /> of the project are incorporated herein and made part of the <br /> Special Use.Permit.

Mr. Cannity responded that the property at the northwest corner <br /> • <br /> was transversed by a road and by drainage lines for the septic tank. Mr. Cannity <br /> continuing to respond to Mr. Wilson said the fence was not on the property line but <br /> • 100' feet in. Mr. Cannity added that staff recommended as a condition that the <br /> ,• buffer be clearly marked on the ground and that the grading contractor be made aware <br /> ;• of the existence of the buffer. <br /> • <br />
