128 MEMORANDUM TO: MICHARL IIARVEY, ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING & INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT FROM: JEFF SCOUTEN, ORANGE COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SUBJECT: CAROLINA HUENDS SCI TOOL RXPANSION DATE: 1 1/03/2011 Michael: I conducted a site inspection yesterday of the subject Carolina Friends School and observed that contrary to what is shown on the existing conditions plan submitted with the Applicant.'s Special Use application plans, there are only 2 dumpsters and no recycling carts. Of the 2 Republic Services dumpsters, one had wood waste in it and the other was empty so I don't know if it is used for cardboard or MSW. Because the existing school campus and various classroom buildings are so spread out, it is not clear to me how they currently handle their refuse and recycling. Also, given the size and proposed use of the new building(s), it likely that they will need additional capacity for MSW, cardboard, and recycling and as such I ask that the applicant update the plan to show all refuse /recycling facilities as well as a written narrative describing their current practice and how they intend to handle the proposed new building(s). In addition, the applicant should address the following comments: 1. Solid Waste Management Plan —Applicant needs to complete the Solid Waste Management Plan and submit for my review and approval. This can be downloaded from our web -site. 2. The following notes should be added to the cover sheet of all plans including the final construction plans: Construction Waste: • By Orange County Ordinance, clean wood waste, scrap metal and corrugated cardboard, all present in construction waste, must be recycled. • By Orange County Ordinance, all haulers of construction waste must be properly licensed. • Prior to any demolition or construction activity on the site the applicant will hold a pre-demolition/pre - construction conference with the County's Solid Waste staff. This may be the same meeting held with other development officials 3. We recommend that the applicant reserve space for segregated grease rendering/recycling collection and consider providing space for segregated food waste collection near the delivery entrance for any building which currently houses, proposes to include or may at some future date incorporate a cafeteria, or other food service facility at any time. Commercial grease wastes are not allowed disposed with regular wastes. 4. We recommend the collection vehicle access route to any area containing recyclable material collection containers be paved with all - weather, heavy -duty pavement OR the following note be included on the plans and recorded on the plat: "Orange County will not be responsible for any pavement damage that may result from service vehicles." 5. The revised plans must include a separate, to- scale, dimensioned detail of any proposed refuse /recycling collection areas, including pad length, width, and depth, associated screening, overhead clearances, and protective bollards. Bollards must be 6" CID steel, with two bollards centered behind each bulk waste container and placed 1' off the back wall of the enclosure. Dumpster, roll -cart, (and compactor if proposed) details should be provided to scale. Preferable scales for the detail are I" = 10' or 1" = 20'. The revised plans label each bulk waste container for type of material to be collected. Thank you for the opportunity to review this application and let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further.
