38 <br /> 215 Michael Harvey: Technically the LIDO doesn't require it but animal services will mandate the animals have to be kept <br /> 216 inside in the evening. This ordinance does require an applicant get the appropriate Class 2 permit from Animal <br /> 217 Services in order to operate the kennel. <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Lisa Stuckey: There is not another zoning that would be more appropriate that would have smaller setback. <br /> 220 <br /> 221 Michael Harvey: The setback is related to the kennel. We looked at conditional use but we have language in the <br /> 222 LIDO that states once we have adopted a development standard i.e.a setback),it has to be observed. <br /> 223 <br /> 224 Johnny Randall: Is the six-foot high chain link fence required? <br /> 225 <br /> 226 Michael Harvey: Yes. If they want to suggest alternative fencing,we could discuss it. This is a dual review process. <br /> 227 Orange County Planning and the Board of Adjustment are reviewing it. <br /> 228 <br /> 229 Tony Blake: What other General Use Zoning District designations could this possibly effect. <br /> 230 <br /> 231 Michael Harvey: None. There could be an extensive reinvestigation of the viability of 150-foot setback in other non- <br /> 232 residential zoning districts. This only impacts all the property-zoned EDE-2. <br /> 233 <br /> 234 James Lea: Wouldn't it also impact all Class 2 kennels? <br /> 235 <br /> 236 Michael Harvey: They would have to come back to the Board of Adjustment and amend their existing approved site <br /> 237 plan to take advantage of the reduction if it were approved. <br /> 238 <br /> 239 Michael Brough: Regarding that last questions, kennels are permissible in a number of different district but this was <br /> 240 limited to the EDE-2 district and further limited to properties that are zoned EDE-2 district. Let me address the <br /> 241 general as opposed to the specific. I concur with what Craig has said but in this situation it does that, is there any <br /> 242 why you have property that is zoned to a district that allows a 25 foot setback for some of these intensive uses, how <br /> 243 does it make sense this use requires a 150 foot setback. What is the point of a 150-foot setback? The main part of <br /> 244 our argument is that it doesn't make sense to have a 150-foot setback for a kennel use when it is in an EDE-2 district <br /> 245 adjoining property that is zoned for intensive use. This is a policy that is of general applicability to the circumstances <br /> 246 we have made it apply to. Does this ordinance make sense in the context in which it applies? We would submit it <br /> 247 does not. The ordinance is designed to serve public interest and there is not a public interest in this. <br /> 248 <br /> 249 Lisa Stuckey: The 150-foot setback would apply to all Class 2 kennels in the County? <br /> 250 <br /> 251 Michael Harvey: Yes. <br /> 252 <br /> 253 Craig Benedict: What are some of the adverse impacts that come forward for special use permits. The four general <br /> 254 categories are noise,dust, vibration and odor. When things are enclosed in a building, most of the impacts go away. <br /> 255 These are what you need a wider type of buffer for, It has been determined that 25 feet because of the noise factor <br /> 256 was not a distance that would protect those adverse impacts from imparting upon adjacent property. <br /> 257 <br /> 258 Perdita Holtz: May I add one thing to provide clarification. Even if you are a manufacturing facility and theoretically <br /> 259 can locate 25 feet away, there are other standards in the UDO that you have to comply with if you do make dust or <br /> 260 noise or vibration so you may be able to go to the minimum setback if you are a pretty benign manufacturing <br /> 261 operation but you may be required to locate further away so those impacts of noise, vibration, dust, or odor do not <br /> 262 cross the property line. There are standards in the LIDO that other uses have to comply with that may require that <br /> 263 they move further away from the property lines than the minimum setback requires. <br /> 264 <br /> 265 Michael Brough: That gets down to the final question. There have not been any complaints since 2005. You are <br /> 266 dealing with a theoretical concern. These folks have a real problem that you can solve. <br /> 267 <br /> 5 <br />
