84 <br /> Approved 11M12 <br /> Michael Harvey: His concern is the cost of the well. We have documentation provided by Mr. Konsler providing ` <br /> information on the cost of the well in attachment 3. <br /> Alan Campbell: What is the time frame for Phase 2? <br /> Michael Harvey: Mr.Abbott would be the best person to speak to that issue. <br /> Maxecine Mitchell: How many units will be in the first phase? <br /> Michael Harvey: Essentially five buildings. A couple hundred units based on market conditions. <br /> Chad Abbott: Those units are a minimum of 10 by 10 and can be expanded up to 10 by 20. <br /> About 144 units perhaps. <br /> Alan Campbell: Are there any other type of uses of operations that is fairly standard not to have any water at all. <br /> Michael Harvey: The argument by the applicant is since there will not be restroom or other retail facilities, he doesn't <br /> believe he should be required to have a well or even a septic system. Part of my answer is that if Orange County <br /> Environment Health says it does not require a well or well service,then there is no obligation from a planning standpoint <br /> to say you have to provide a well. One point Mr.Abbott provided at the BOCC meeting was that if you provide well water <br /> for use of washing hands or other purposes,you have to have a septic system to treat that water. You can recommend <br /> to the BOCC that the well be installed now or the applicant's that the well be installed in Phase 2. 1 don't see why a well <br /> can't be installed now. <br /> Larry Wright: When we start discussing buffers and the wells, are we discussing Phase 1 and Phase 2 together or just <br /> Phase 1? <br /> Michael Harvey: You are discussing the project being built out. <br /> I <br /> Michael Harvey: Reviewed the buffers. <br /> Larry Wright: Mr.Abbott,would you please review the photos and tell us which of those buildings and sites best match <br /> this projected one. <br /> Maxecine Mitchell: Because it is such a rural area, I probably won't realize there is storage shed there with an <br /> interrupted buffer especially over time. I think it will work out fine. <br /> Michael Harvey: There are two issues the planning board is charged with;make a decision on the proposed buffer and <br /> make a recommendation on the well issue. The remaining issues have been addressed. If you can make those <br /> affirmative findings, you can approve the ordinance amending the Orange County Zoning Atlas in Attachment 4 and <br /> approve the resolution statement consistency or make a recommendation for the resolution statement and recommend <br /> conditions. <br /> Chad Abbott: What benefit versus cost does the applicant receive from the well? The buffer is required buffer and is <br /> required to be maintained. If we take out the landscaping,what is the purpose of the well? If we look at how often this <br /> well will be used, I am not sure it matches. My client would like to see if he is making enough money to expand his <br /> facility then a well would not be a big impact. <br /> Alan Campbell: Is there a secondary process for Phase 2? <br /> Michael Harvey: The condition would be once the commencement of Phase 2 which requires any compliance and <br /> building permit,he would have to build a well. <br /> 2 <br />
