14 <br /> Responses to Utility Service will be in Bold Orange Italics. <br /> 1. BOCC members requested written documentation from Orange County Health <br /> and Building Inspection that a chemical or other toilet system could be used to <br /> support the proposed office use. <br /> The requested documentation is attached. <br /> 2. BOCC and Planning Board members expressed reservations over the applicants <br /> desire not to develop a well on the property. Several comments were made over <br /> the need for a well to provide water for staff, to clean the facility, and to address <br /> emergencies. <br /> The applicant is checking on the suitability and availability of a well location on the <br /> site to meet this request.If this is not possible, then the applicant will be the one who <br /> will have the cost and time burden of using a power washer etc to clean out the units. <br /> Water supply at a Storage facility is not mandated by regulatory review agencies and if <br /> this item is not feasible, the applicant doesn't feel that it should be an overriding <br /> criteria related to the application for rezoning the property. If the units are left dirty as <br /> members of the BOCC indicated is often the case, and the applicant cannot adequately <br /> clean them up, then it is the applicant/owner that will suffer as no potential lessee will <br /> rent a storage unit that is dirty. Therefore it is in the applicant's best interest to keep <br /> the units clean whether it be by using an on-site well or by a portable pressure washing <br /> operation. <br /> Responses to Solid Waste will be in Bold Green Italics. <br /> 1. BOCC and Planning Board members indicated the applicant should provide a <br /> dumpster area to allow for the orderly collection and disposal of solid waste <br /> generated on the property. <br /> The Plans have been revised to show a proposed dumpster location as requested. <br /> 2. BOCC members wanted written comments from Orange County Solid Waste on <br /> the applicant's revised site plan with respect to the adequacy of any dumpster <br /> located on-site. <br /> Noted. At the time these responses were required to be submitted, the applicant was <br /> awaiting comments from Orange County Solid Waste on the revised site plan, however <br /> the location proposed is the most optimal and accessible on-site and has been discussed <br /> w/Planning Staff with no negative feedback. <br /> 3. A Planning Board member wanted additional comment from the applicant on how <br /> he intended to address the disposal of large items left on the property by former <br /> tenants. <br /> Per the applicant the customer contract clearly states that there be no unwanted <br /> storage items left at the facility. If any are left, they will be taken to the landfill site in <br /> Mt. Tirzah, Person County which is approx. 15 miles from the subject property. <br />
