2 BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing. Materials from the public hearing can be found using the following link: hftp://orangecountync.gov/OCCLERKS/120827.htm A summary of comments received during the hearing are contained within Attachment 1, the abstract from the October 3, 2012 Planning Board regular meeting. Staff will be introducing this document, and all attachments, into the record at the re-convened public hearing for the BOCC to consider as part of its deliberations. Planning Board Review: The Planning Board reviewed this item at its October 3, 2012 regular meeting. During the meeting the Board made the following decisions with regard to several outstanding development issues, specifically: I. Land Use Buffers: The applicant proposed the following: • 20 Foot Type A buffer along NC 57 and Mile Branch Road. • 10 foot buffer along the southern property line adjacent to the Wilson property (PIN 0910-22-6989). • No land use buffer along the portion of property abutting the existing concrete plant(PIN 0910-32-2905). During the public hearing and the September 18, 2012 BOCC work session, staff indicated typical land use buffers for a self-storage facility in comparable general use zoning districts were: • Type F buffer, 100 feet in width, along adjacent property lines abutting AR zoned property, and • Type B buffer, 30 feet in width, abutting adjacent road rights-of-way. With respect to the land use buffers, the Planning Board determined: a. The proposed land use buffer along Mile Branch and NC Highway 57 is acceptable as proposed by the applicant, specifically the 20 Foot Type A buffer. b. There is no need for a land use buffer along the southern property boundary with the concrete plant (PIN 0910-32-2905). c. The proposed land use buffer along the Wilson property (PIN 0910-22-6989) is sufficient, specifically the 10 foot buffer. BOCC members could offer an alternative suggestion to the applicant with respect to an acceptable land use buffer. Per Section 2.9.1 (F) (2), conditions must be mutually agreed upon by the County and the applicant. 11. Installation of a well: a. The Board agreed with the BOCC that a well is necessary to ensure proper care for required vegetation as well as the cleaning of rental units. b. The Board recommended the imposition of a condition requiring the development of the well when Phase 2 of the project is developed.
