Willis Orange County Planning Department 306F Revere Road Hillsborough, NC 27278 re: Class A Special Use Permit Vehicle Maintenance Building for Orange Regional Landfill (Johnson Tract) Dear Ms. Willis: In accordance with your request for additional application information, we offer the following; a) We wish to request a waiver for the required buffer along the Eastern property line of the Johnson Tract This side of the property is adjacent to the landfill and the would be circulation way between the landfill proper and the proposed supporting vehicle maintenance building. b) In support of 8.21 of article 8-Special Uses 8.2.1, b), (1) The use will maintain or promote the public health, safety and general welfare, if located where proposed, developed and operated according to the plan submitted; At this time there is not adequate on-site vehicle maintenance facilities for the extra-large tracted vehicles required for landfill purposes. Approval to develop this building will provide a much needed on-site service. It will help ensure the proper operation of the landfill and will help keep the larger vehicles on-site and not in transit on public roads to and from remote repair sites. In addition, this owner believes that the tract could provide a public service as a staging area for recyclable materials. 8.21 b), (2) The use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property (unless the use is a public necessity, in which case the use need not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property); FRANKLIN PARK■ 1516 EAST FRANKLIN STREET, SUITE 201 ■P.O.
