6 <br /> 1 2. Adjourn the public hearing until November 5, 2013 in order to receive and accept the <br /> 2 Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Michael Harvey noted that the abstract includes a statement from the current property <br /> 5 owner, Daniel McDonald, who indicates that Ronald Keizer has an option on purchasing the <br /> 6 property. He said this is contingent on the re-zoning approval. <br /> 7 Michael Harvey said Ronald Keizer has been made aware of the buffer requirements for <br /> 8 this property. <br /> 9 Commissioner Price said she is pleased that a local business wants to expand. She <br /> 10 asked if the expansion would mean an increased intensity in the use, or if it would remain the <br /> 11 same. <br /> 12 Michael Harvey said the re-zoning needs to be acted on regardless of whether or not it is <br /> 13 consistent with the code. He said he believes there will be an expansion and amplification of <br /> 14 the existing use. He also believes the existing land use criteria and standards will mitigate any <br /> 15 impacts. He said he has not seen the site plan, so he is hesitant to give a definite answer. <br /> 16 Commissioner McKee said the last item simply aligned what was on the ground with <br /> 17 what is on paper. He said this item is placing before the Board the very thing that the County <br /> 18 has wanted, which is more job and business opportunities in Orange County. He said this <br /> 19 request is in an area where the land use has already been designated as appropriate. He said <br /> 20 there are still opportunities to ask questions and work out agreements as this moves forward. <br /> 21 He said he is in favor of this. <br /> 22 Chair Jacobs asked if there is water and sewer available. <br /> 23 Craig Benedict said there is no public water and sewer in the area. He said part of the <br /> 24 current design to flip the sewer flow will bring gravity sewer past this parcel. He said this would <br /> 25 happen in a year and a half to two years <br /> 26 Chair Jacobs asked if owners with a sewer line running in front of their property are <br /> 27 required to hook in. <br /> 28 Craig Benedict said the UDO gives distance requirements that do require owners to <br /> 29 connect on. <br /> 30 He said that Orange Alamance water systems has some facilities in this area, and work <br /> 31 is being done to insure that future development can handle both potable water and fire <br /> 32 suppression needs for these new industries. <br /> 33 Commissioner Rich asked if residents would be required to hook up to the sewer lines. <br /> 34 Craig Benedict said commercial owners, expansions to a business, or a new home built <br /> 35 within the designated distance will be required to hook up. <br /> 36 Commissioner Rich noted that part of the zoning change request was due to a need to <br /> 37 fix the septic system, and then the owner will be required to hook up to sewer in a couple of <br /> 38 years. <br /> 39 Craig Benedict said that if the owner fixes the septic, he will be allowed to remain with <br /> 40 the new or repaired system until it fails. <br /> 41 Frank Clifton said this is a project Steve Brantley has worked on with the owner. <br /> 42 Pete Hallenbeck asked if there were any comments from the Planning Board. <br /> 43 Pete Hallenbeck said he is pleased to hear about the option for a local supplier of <br /> 44 chassis. He is also please to hear about the potential water availability for fire suppression. <br /> 45 Chair Jacobs asked about the number of current and future employees. <br /> 46 Applicant Ronald Kaiser said he currently has 26 employees. He said business is <br /> 47 growing. He said there were 18 employees in 2009, and the company did $1.8 million in sales. <br /> 48 He said he expects to do $4.2 million in sales this year. He said the company set a goal of <br /> 49 being a 5 million dollar company. He said this goal has almost been met, and his desire is to <br /> 50 set a new goal that allows the company to keep up with its growing customers. <br /> 51 James Bryan, Staff Attorney, said this decision will be based on the reasonableness and <br /> 52 consistency with the land plan and the public benefit but not the benefits of this particular <br /> 53 business. <br />
