The materials were deemed complete <br />enough to start the staff review process. We do, however, have the following Staff <br />Comments to offer. These comments should be addressed prior to the Neighborhood <br />Information Meeting (NIM) on July 27, 2015, <br />Current Planning Comments: <br />1. Please add more labels and Faders to 8' foot- tall barbed -wire fence and reference <br />Orange County Development Ordinance (UDO) section 5.9,6 (C)(2)(e), Also show <br />fence detail. Also, provide leader to others boxes with text to clearly indicate the <br />areas the tent boxes are referencing. <br />2. Review note indicating the solar arrays will be less than 40' tall. Give true or <br />maximum height. I do not think you are intending to build 40' tall arrays. <br />3. Revise stated 40' and 20' building setbacks to 1.00', which is what is required for <br />non- residential uses, and solar array- public utility uses (see most updated site Plan <br />for nor- residential use), <br />4. Revise the address to 6519 Us Highway 79 (and not this is the location of the <br />easement area). 6515 US Highway 70 is the adjacent lot owned by the Mace <br />family but the subject area is not yet addressed.. <br />
