Sinai Road (SR 1718) <br />and west of Friends School Road (SR 1719). The <br />property contains 32.94 acres and is zoned PD -RB, <br />Planned Development - Rural Buffer. <br />In August of 1990 a Class A Special Use Permit was <br />issued for Carolina Friends School to allow the use of <br />the school's wastewater disposal system in the Rural <br />Buffer. Article 6.20.1 of the Zoning Ordinance states <br />that a large ground absoption system with a design <br />capacity over 3000 gallons per day may be allowed in <br />the RB district only through approval of a planned <br />development. <br />The Board of Directors of Carolina Friends School <br />adopted a five -year master plan in 1991 for <br />development of the school. The plan calls for <br />expansion of the facility with a 9500 square foot <br />Resource Center adjacent to the Upper School, a 200 <br />square foot office additon, four 120 square foot <br />storage sheds, handicapped accessible bathrooms, and <br />road widening with additional parking.
