6 indicated that at the top of the site plan the developer has indicated the type of vegetation that will be used, how it is to be placed, and the width of the landscape strip. Also proposed is a six foot high wooden stockade fence to be used in conjunction with the vegetation. The applicant had proposed to landscape the front of the property along ECIO and 46 feet along the eastern side of the. property. The Planning Board's recommendation to the Board of Commissioners includes a condition to continue the landscaping in accordance with Article 7 and Article 12 along the eastern side of the property for an additional distance of eighteen feet and across the rear of the property. Existing vegetation would satisfy the requirement in some situations, but some sections would need to be supplemented with additional vegetation. There was a consensus to change condition #4 to read as follows: "Grading on the site shall be kept to a minimum consistent with maintenance of runoff control. in lieu of planted landscaping, existing vegetation shall be retained along the railroad right-of-way. Commissioner Lloyd questioned the fencing around the ponds since the ponds need to be periodically cleaned by a backhoe. Commissioner Walker questioned the fairness of requiring fencing around the ponds in this application without requiring it around other ponds. Chair Willhoit requested that condition #10 be added and read as follows: "The apron of the driveway entrances and exits shall be paved from the edge of the road to the stockade fence." There was a consensus of the Board to add #10 as stated above. Chair Willhoit asked about the slope of the proposed driveway and expressed concern for spillage. Smith indicated the proposed driveway slopes back toward the plant. Commissioner Lloyd asked if the Board could allow Chandler to have a chain link fence if Chandler finds it more practical. Susan Smith indicated that the Ordinance speaks to screening of parking and vehicular areas. She indicated if what the developer proposes does that effectively, it meets the reqpirements of the Ordinance. Chair Willhoit noved approval of the Special Use Permit with the ten special conditions (listed below) - nine that were recommended by the Planning Board plus #10 which provides for the paving of the aprons to the fence line, and with #4 and #9 modified to specify chain link fencing around the ponds and on the basis that the conditions will meet the public purpose to an equal or greater degree than provided in the Ordinance. Specifically, negative findings stipulated in Article 12.4 are satisfied by conditions #4 and #5. The negative findings stipulated in Article 6,24.f are satisfied by conditions #4 and #5. The negative findings stipulated in Article 7.17.b and 7.17.c are satisfied by those special conditions pertaining to landscaping and screening. Commissioner Lloyd seconded the notion. The ten special conditions are as follows: 1. The grantee of this Special Use Permit shall post with Orange County, in a form acceptable to the County Attorney, a bond or letter of credit in an amount equal to the cost of all public improvements plus 10%. The amount shall be determined on the basis of fully executed construction contracts or certification by a registered engineer employed by the grantee of this Special Use Permit. As improvements are completed a corresponding amourit ' of money may be released from the security instruments or the security instruments may be renogotiated based on the "yet to do" portion of the improvements. 2.
