Craig Benedict explained the different densities an a map. <br />Commissioner Carey would like to hear from the public about the thresholds. <br />He encouraged the staff to look at some differentiation in the criteria for different levels <br />of projects and maybe even looking at increasing the acreage. <br />Chair Jacobs asked if it was possible to da the acreage sa that you <br />differentiate based on the underlying zoning. Far example, if it is one-acre lots, 20 acres <br />might work; whereas, if it is two-acre lots, maybe 40 acres might work. Craig Benedict <br />said that they could go in this direction. <br />Jay Bryan made reference to the standards and said that the board <br />considering the project has to make sure that the use will maintain or promote public <br />health, safety, and welfare and will enhance the value of contiguous property, and that <br />the character of the use will be in harmony with the area. He said that the standards <br />said that the board can deny the application if it finds that the use will not maintain or <br />promote public health, safety, and welfare. In Carrbora, the way the ordinance is <br />phrased, the board can deny an application where it is Shawn that the use will not <br />maintain or promote public health, safety, and welfare. He asked if the standards could <br />be changed to make it more flexible that would be in keeping with the present standards. <br />Craig Benedict said that these general standards are used far the other 28 <br />special uses that are out there -both class A and class B special uses. He said that the <br />special use process is aquasi-judicial findings of fact process. The standards are not <br />subjective. <br />Geoff Gledhill said that he does not know how Carrboro does it, but the <br />standard in all of these evidentiary questions is going to be a greater weight of the <br />evidence. Regarding the general standard about maintaining or promoting public health, <br />safety, and welfare, the ordinance has a special provision that implies that it would. In <br />order for a project to be turned down because it fails to maintain or promote public <br />health, safety, and welfare, the burden shifts to those who oppose it to prove that in <br />some specific manner by substantial evidence, the use does not maintain public health, <br />safety, and welfare. It would require specific evidence that there is a specific problem. <br />Some examples are traffic problems. <br />Barry Katz asked if the County would be responsible to remedy a problem <br />that may arrive if all of the bodies approve a subdivision and it turns out that there are <br />public health failures. Craig Benedict said that sometimes a problem would come back <br />to the local government if the project was already completed. <br />Barry Katz made reference to the notification and said that 500 feet from the <br />project is too small for a project that is going to impact people in a greater area. He <br />asked for consideration of 1,000 feet. He made reference to page three, number 11 and <br />irrigation. He asked if there were any standards for how irrigation systems can be <br />approved or not approved. Craig Benedict said that there are certain building code <br />requirements if it is from public water and sewer. They are trying to tie this in with the <br />conservation ordinance. <br />Geoff Gledhill said that the irrigation standard is in the draft. The system has <br />to be designed and can be operated according to a water conservation plan described in <br />the Resource Management Plan. <br />Barry Katz asked about borrowed open space that is referred to in the <br />document. Craig Benedict said that borrowed open space is where, instead of <br />everybody having athree-acre lot and having their own open space, there would be a <br />1.5-acre lot and the extra space is put into some kind of common area. <br />Rachel Preston said that the North Carolina Landscape Contractors <br />Registration Board is the licensing board and anyone doing landscaping has to have a <br />license and has to go through a rigorous exam. She asked far some type of reference to <br />
