DRAFT -6- 265 properties which are also shown on the plans we submitted. You can see a little detail as far as 266 who the owner is but I wanted to let you know what the uses were around the property. Number 267 one is Mr. Griffin's property, the barrier where the one is, is the barn. All the way around the 268 property except for number six are the same uses which are residential uses. Number six 269 would be the parkland that was alluded to earlier that the County has recently purchased for a 270 future park area. Number seven is the lot that the Purner's live on and in the lot connecting 271 expands to the rear of the property. This project is nestled in the woods in the evergreen 272 portion of the project to maintain the privacy and the surrounding sounds that exist now for 273 existing homeowners and landowners in that area. You also received a copy of this in the 274 original application packet. This is an elevation of what the Purner's and Schmidt's and our 275 architect .in our office, Brian Shelby, has come to an agreement as far as the concept on what 276 they would like the building to look like. Certain elements could change a little depending on the 277 final structural design, etc. but the concept is there. How the roof pitches, and I don't know a lot 278 about those details because I am not an architect, but I know that the Purner's and Schmidt's 279 have worked heavily with the architect and could probably answer any questions about that. It 280 will contain about nine kennels. Nine units are about 9,800 square feet with about 23 parking 281 spaces. Some will be equipped with fences in the rear as required by your ordinance at least 282 six feet high. Pools, exercise yards, solar panels and the twenty foot drive that will come onto 283 the existing easement that was granted for the use of this property. We will. also to have to 284 pretreat the pet waste before it goes to the conventional septic fields which I will talk about later. 285 The pet waste will be treated and then from there will go to the septic field. The system we 286 discussed, aimed in the stormwater treatment for the quality and quantity required by the 287 Orange County Stormwater division. This project airs on the side of low density so treatment of 288 stormwater will not be a problem. Are there any questions related to the site plan? 289 290 As you saw on the site plans, there is a septic repair area that the kennel is centrally located on 291 the site to maintain the wooded area from there to Millhouse Road to help protect the adjacent 292 residencies. You can see there is a large fenced area for the exercise yard where the solar 293 panels will be located. It is also a pool there. Then you have the kennel which is not your 294 typical kennel where you have a metal building full of dog runs or cinder block buildings full of 295 dog runs. They have tried to be innovative. I am not an architect but I have been involved in 296 some of the conversations with the architect and he said it is one of the neatest projects he had 297 worked on to date. 298 299 Bob Hornik: David Schmidt had talked a little about the green features of the design. Can you 300 tell us about those features and where they are located? 301 302 Chad Abbott: The fenced in area will be here where there will be a row of solar panels in the 303 middle. That will be in the open area as a means to generate the electricity they are anticipating 304 as well as providing a shaded area for the dogs since you have a large exercise yard with no 305 real trees. Right now, we have not planned for the plumbing and where everything will be 306 located but there will be a cistern located to collect roof water and runoff used for washing down 307 the kennels. Those are the two items I know of and the design of the building has been done to 308 maximize the elements of natural sunlight. Those are the items I know of from the site plan 309 phase. Are there any questions regarding those items? 310 311 Larry Wright: With respect to the solar panels and the exercise area, I know that a co- member 312 of the planning board has a variety of solar panels, I think 40, and that requires cables because 313 that is generally what they do and I was wondering how that will interface with the exercise area 314 and the safety of the dogs. 315 316 David Schmidt: There are two envisioned arrays of photo cells. I think the picture shows along 317 the front of the building is one location and then the other is along the back. The cells 318 themselves would be raised on platforms. The platform is to provide shade because it gets hot OC Board of Adjustment — 5114/2012 Page 6 of 41
