9 1 Clopfers and then this new gift of land. We realize how lucky we are. We cherish it, as well as 2 the surrounding community, and we hope that you too will agree that we have planned for 3 another 50 years of concern about the environment, the kids that will be there, and I hope that 4 whoever buys the property has kids and they can just run right across the street. 6 Larry Wright: Is there anybody else that arrived late that would like to be duly sworn in and 7 have a comment for the Commissioners? Hearing none, Chair Pelissier. 8 Chair Pelissier: We have four recommendations from the Planning Director, and I will entertain 9 a motion. 10 11 Commissioner Jacobs: Before I say anything, I want to commend the Friends School 12 community for their work that has been done, for the sensitivity to the land. Two and a half 13 years working on this project compared to government is action is speedy indeed. I just had a 14 couple of questions and I actually came here with a question about ball field lights, since that 15 has been a sore point in other parts of the County. And I understand, Mr. Harvey, that you did 16 say you would consider it a special use permit modification to add lights, but is there any reason 17 that we wouldn't add as a condition that the addition of lights would constitute an automatic 18 modification of the special use permit. 19 Michael Harvey: If you wish to add that condition, that is obviously your purview. 20 Commissioner Jacobs: I think I knew the law we would have to have the applicant agree. 21 Michael Harvey: Correct, because iYs a conditional use, but you can recommend. 22 Commissioner Jacobs: It doesn't sound disagreeable, but I just wanted to raise that. I also 23 had a question about the solid waste management plan submitted by the applicant. There's a 24 reference on page 148, a memorandum from Solid Waste Management and one of the 25 recommendations has to do with food waste and separating grease rendering. I just didn't see 26 where that was followed through, and I looked at this, which we got separately, the Orange 27 County Solid Waste Management Plan. I didn't see it, I probably just missed it, but how is that 28 tracked? 29 Michael Harvey: First I'm going to provide my answer to your question and let the applicant 30 provide an answer obviously because it's their plan. What you have on page 128 is Jeff 31 Scouten, who is with Orange County Solid Waste, his memorandum, which was dated 32 11/3/2011. We also have additional email tra~c from Mr. Scouten conceming a second visit 33 where some of his concerns were addressed. With respect to the separation of waste, I'm 34 going to turn it over real quickly to Mr. Whitaker, but I believe most of Mr. Scouten, based on 35 what I have read and what he and I have talked about, I believe most of his concerns have 36 already been addressed and incorporated in the project. 37 Tony Whitaker: There was considerable interchange between the Solid Waste staff. In doing 38 the job that they do, they offer standard language that applies across the board to most facilities 39 and then we sort through that and figure what is relevant to the facility that we're working on. 40 We came to agreement with Mr. Scouten that the school does not have any cooking facilities. 41 They don't have a cafeteria; they don't have those more conventional kinds of school cafeteria 42 facilities, so there is no cooking in that regard. There is no generation of grease or those kinds 43 of wastes. So, those standard provisions simply don't apply. 44 Commissioner Jacobs: So you have no food waste to compost on campus, let alone 45 cooking. 23
