48 building —which then, you know—the waste water flow is based on number of students. So as those students grow, obviously it'll hit a trigger, for which the old septic system is now insufficient, and would require a new design, or upgrade. Patrick Mallet: I'll just add to that. So, this is the master planner conceptual part of the process. So we're looking at things in what I would call a cartoon fashion. After that point, they continue to refine, and there's not a necessary sequence in terms of the building, so they can't really define their septic field. But, yes, when they would go and submit for any one of the buildings, they would have to submit site plans for that building or buildings and then part of the check off process would be to insure that there's enough capacity, and if not, they would have to expand the field. The other thing that I would note is that the area that they are currently using is — it's probably not even a third of the area south of Millhouse. They have a large undeveloped, or underdeveloped, portion of property on the south side of Millhouse. Commissioner Rich: Thank you. I mean I guess my biggest concern is that the State is approving it, and I just want to make sure that we're also keeping track of it. I'm sure you all are. I just want to make sure that Orange County is making sure that it's a clean system as well. Chad Abbott: Orange County would, in essence, approve the site plan that allows the building to be built, however, they wouldn't provide that approval until the —we have provided them documentation the State has approved the septic system, which has been my experience in the past. Michael Harvey: Michael Harvey again. Let me just say, historically, especially with Carolina Friends School, that went through a similar process several years ago. When we accept site plans for review, they also get submitted to Orange County Health Department, and Orange County Health Department's copied on all correspondence with the State. The State has an obligation to keep Orange County informed of what's essentially going on with that system. We then get copied on those approvals. We don't issue zoning compliance permit to allow construction until we've received in hand the State's approval of any septic expansion. Commissioner Rich: Thank you, Mr. Harvey. Commissioner Price: With regards to the safety and accessibility, it's hard to see the entire — details of the property on this map. But are there areas along — I guess it's Jericho— New Jericho Road that the School owns, and will there be walkways along there? I know the abstract talks about internal walkways, but I also know, having come through there a couple of times —you know, there are like outdoor classes —and you know, I have to make way for the class coming down the road. So —which is a good thing — but I'm just thinking —you know, with an increase in students it means more cars coming, and the road becoming more popular and does the School own any of the—you know, enough of the frontage on Jericho Road, where they'd be putting in any walkways there? Chad Abbott: I mean 1, the School can correct me at any point, and I don't want to speak where I shouldn't, but based my experience with schools, and the design of schools, they would want to keep the walkways away from the road. So their goal is to plan for internal circulation to keep the kids on site, away from the streets. By the DOT Right of Way— if you would look at the screen —the very southern most entrance there. The DOT Right of Way stops just north of there. You can see the dashed lines and the site triangles. And where that site triangle ends, I can see it being here...
