DRAFT -11- coming out and the sweeping of headlights across adjacent properties as they would make their way on Millhouse so that at any point the only time someone will be shining a light on adjacent properties would be when they make that turn not when they are sitting there perpendicular to the road. Larry Wright: A line of vision to the north will be maintained there? Chad Abbott: Yes. That is the good thing about being located on the outside of the curve is that the line of vision is in the right of way so there is no trees or anything that the owners could keep or plant or do anything to help or hurt that line of site. That is the view of the buffer; you can see the water in the bottom picture. That is the wet area I was referring to and on every one of those pictures, Millhouse Road is in the background and I am standing a couple of hundred feet off the road so you can see there are a lot of existing, mature trees as well as the undergrowth and the site will be double the distance this was taken from the road. Bob Hornik: Using photographs up there now, you are standing about 200 feet into the property from Millhouse Road and you are looking at Millhouse straight ahead? Chad Abbott: Yes. If you look at the site plan, the hatched gray area is what I am standing behind. Right there it may be pushed back into the woods because as it is shown on the plan at the time was looked at and plotted... Bob Hornik: Let us talk about what you have on the screen now because it is your analysis of compliance with standards of evaluation. Chad Abbott: Per the Orange County Ordinance there are several standards of evaluation that I am sure Mr. Harvey is aware of to address your decision on this project. The size is of adequate size to protect the adjacent properties from adverse effects of the kennel and riding stable /academy. I think it is apparent that the actual proximity of the site related to the surrounding area will only be visible from the applicant's residence. It is fully nestled between the existing wooded areas between Millhouse Road and the project. No part of any building structure, runway or riding area in which animals are housed or exercised shall be closer than 150 foot from the property line except by the property occupied by the owner /operator of the kennel. We met that standard. Of course, Mr. Griffin and the Purner's are both adjacent to the site and they are owners /operators of the kennel and have met that 150 foot buffer around the rest of the property by location of the facility. Any kennel which is not wholly enclosed shall be enclosed by a security fence at least 6 foot in height. Any time the dogs will be out of the enclosed facility, there is a large play area or fenced area where the solar panels are and where the pool is, there will be a fence around it. The site plan shows the parking, the access areas, and the existing buffer to be used for the screen. It can be supplemented if needed but it has been determined that it is so heavily wooded that we don't feel additional screening will be required. The site plan shall be reviewed by the Orange County Animal Control Department. That has been done and they have issued their letters and met with the applicant several times. Building plans have been provided. The plan Mr. Wright was looking for that shows the floor plans and the units was issued at the same time and has been approved. A sign clearly visible from the ground shall be posted at the main entrance of the facility. It shall contain the names, addresses and phone numbers of the persons responsible for the facility. We have shown the location for a sign, obviously the DOT permit will dictate if it needs to be put back further if they say they want a larger site triangle than normal. However, a 10x70 site triangle is typical and we can clearly accommodate that at the entrance if it doesn't need to be pushed back further I am sure the applicants would be willing to, but right now we do have a sign proposal in the plan but the details of the sign have not been worked out. The sign will comply with any portions of the ordinance it is required to. Where required by the animal control ordinance, Class II kennel permits shall be obtained from the Department of Animal Control. OC Board of Adjustment — 5/1412012 Page 11 of 41
