Approved 11/01/2017 <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />Michael Harvey said that in Attachment 7, he will be applying the following notes. He heard from a Planning Board <br />member tonight that in regards to Condition 4 regarding site plan approval (page 308) that references be included to <br />local volunteer fire departments to review site plans. <br /> <br />Tony Blake said that this would be for the primary responding volunteer fire department. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey continued with his proposed modifications. He said that there would have to be explicit language <br />saying that the Town of Hillsborough has to review and indicate if there is capacity for water and sewer service, prior <br />to the County Planning Department issuing a site plan approval. On page 311, in Condition 6, the local volunteer fire <br />department needs to be added to the Orange County Fire Marshall and Town of Hillsborough sharing review and <br />approving location of fire lanes, location of fire hydrants, and location of proposed standpipes. The local volunteer fire <br />department shall also be involved in the float test, which is now all in Condition 8. On page 315, for District 2, <br />numbers 3 and 16 are for movie theaters. There only needs to be one movie theater so the recommendation would <br />be to delete number 16 and renumber accordingly to correct the duplication. On 317, the condition (Condition H) <br />regarding landscaping around the Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District, a statement needs to be <br />added to number one at the end to say, “unless clearing is consistent with Section 6.6.5 (a) of the UDO.” The UDO <br />does allow for breaks for visibility in the MTC. He said that there was some discussion that the BOCC receive a <br />rendering or an example of the architectural landmark sign and an entry portal sign so that they can make a <br />recommendation if the proposed square footage is acceptable. Mr. Harvey said that he did not hear the Board <br />express concerns about the square footage of the signage, but everyone wants to see and understand what the <br />feature will look like to determine if it is appropriate. The recommendation is that the developer provides this. There <br />are examples of other signage in the application. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie said that he thought seeing the examples would be a good idea. <br /> <br />Tony Blake noted a typo in Condition H with feet. Michael Harvey made a note of it and said that it was correct in the <br />developer’s application. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey said that Mr. Parker offered that onsite wells in Condition H, subprim 1, be eliminated, to address <br />concerns over the depletion of wells if irrigation is necessary. Mr. Harvey suggested that this portion be reworded as <br />follows: “Landscaping shall be watered by reclaimed water or water from the site.” He said that the department is <br />open to rain barrels or other systems of catching rainwater. The other modification would be to Staff’s <br />recommendation to table action on District 3 with a recommendation that the request for this area come back to the <br />Planning Board for discussion and edits at the April 2018 regular meeting, which seems like a sufficient amount of <br />time for this to move through the process. This date should be set even if this part of the project does not come back <br />through the process. Next, the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 6) relating to Districts 1 and 2 only – the <br />motion needs to include that Staff needs to remove all references to parcels connected to District 3 from the <br />Statement of Consistency as currently contained in Attachment 6. Finally, there should be an amendment that calls <br />for approving the ordinance to revise Attachment 7 to include all modifications discussed this evening, with a <br />recommendation to approve to the BOCC as the Planning Board sees fit. <br /> <br />Lydia Wegman asked if there is anything else to discuss. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie counseled that when they are working close to a jurisdiction like the Town of Hillsborough that there <br />might have been more presence in the notes regarding where issues were in progress, based on recent <br />conversations. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey replied that he thinks that this was done but that the main issues is District 3 and the Town’s concern <br />about serving a project this far south of the interstate. Ms. Hauth’s comments are also included in the packet outlining <br />other concerns. The service issue and District 3 issue were discussed. <br /> <br />30
