15 <br /> 1 Michael Harvey: Mr. Chairman, may I interrupt please. I'm sorry. Before there's a motion on <br /> 2 sending this forward, I have a house cleaning item I'd like the Board to take care of for me. As <br /> 3 this is a quasi-judicial item, it's based on sworn testimony and evidence, and while Mr. Abbott <br /> 4 made a request that items be entered into the record, the Board ought to acknowledge what has <br /> 5 been entered into the record as part of this application. So if you will indulge me for a moment. <br /> 6 What you have is an almost 230 page abstract packet, that includes the Special Use Permit <br /> 7 application, a narrative beginning on page 12, a biological inventory beginning on page 20, a <br /> 8 tree survey beginning on page 46, a market impact analysis, beginning on page 79, a traffic <br /> 9 impact analysis, beginning on page 115, an initial staff review of the project and the Applicants <br /> 10 response, beginning on page 131, you also have a very detailed site plan in this application <br /> 11 packet. You have a property and vicinity map, prepared by staff, a staff review comments on <br /> 12 this particular item, an Orange County Health Department, Fire Marshal's Office, etc., the <br /> 13 Neighborhood Information Meeting comments, and letters that have gone out; last but not least, <br /> 14 notification materials for the Public Hearing. I ask that there be a vote, or an acknowledgement <br /> 15 by the County Commissioners, that this packet, as submitted, is entered into the record. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Commissioner Price: So moved. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Chair McKee: We've got a motion. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Commissioner Rich: Second. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Chair McKee: And a second. All... <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Commissioner Rich: Question. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Chair McKee: Yes. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Commissioner Rich: Is, Mr. Harvey, is this map in the packet as well? Is that considered the <br /> 30 same as our large map? <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Michael Harvey: That's what Mr. Abbott actually entered, so it would be both. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Commissioner Rich: It's both. Okay. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Michael Harvey: Yes. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Commissioner Rich: Thank you. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Commissioner Price: Chair, I have some questions, I'm sorry. Just for clarification — and 1 <br /> 41 may be misreading this — but on one page you say that this has been operating —the School's <br /> 42 been operating as a defacto Class A, and on another page it says Class B Special Use Permit. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Michael Harvey: Well that's unfortunately a staff error, and I'm sorry for the confusion. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Commissioner Price: Okay. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Michael Harvey: This School actually began in 1984 before the County had adopted <br /> 49 comprehensive regulations governing development of schools, or the requirement that this be <br /> 50 reviewed as a Class A Special Use Permit. Per Article 8.6 of the UDO, it's actually considered <br /> 51 to have a defacto Special Use Permit, making it a legal land use. It's not non-conforming. It's <br />
