APPROVED 5/10/2010 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 3/8/2010 Page 18 of 86 <br />1 2 3 <br />4 <br />5 6 7 <br />8 <br />9 10 11 <br />12 <br />13 14 15 <br />16 <br />17 18 19 <br />20 <br />21 22 23 <br />24 <br />25 26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 46 <br />47 <br />48 <br />49 50 <br />51 <br />52 <br />53 54 <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: One sign there. The other sign that is required that is located further back into the property near the <br />property area which is a sign required by county regulations to advise the public regarding the owner of the project and a <br />phone number to contact the owner. That is a public welfare sort of sign that is mandated. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: This is going to be commercial operation? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: I don’t know if it will be considered commercial by any classification of that word. That is a very generic <br />term. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: It is a business for profit? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Absolutely. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: To attract people to come to it. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Mr. Lonsway has never said people will come to me because they can see me from the road. It is not a <br />drive by impulse purchase. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: My old boss told me all the time I know 50% of my advertising is working I just don’t know which 50 it is. You <br />don’t know if it is the sign or newspaper ads, or television or the radio but somehow people will get it. What is the minimum <br />requirement of acreage for someone to build a house in this neighborhood? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Two acres. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: And this one is 4.86 acres, right? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Just under five acres. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: What is the total square footage of the existing home? I mean the footprint. It looks to me like this house is <br />smaller for sure or about the same as Phase I or smaller than Phase I and for sure all three of the buildings will be existing <br />structure. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Maybe around 1,400 square feet, footprint, the total is about 2,300 square feet. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: How many square feet is all this? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: All this meaning? <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Phase I, II and III. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: That information is found on the drawings, 4,800 square feet. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Basically we are going from a property with 1,400 square foot footprint on the house to we are adding 4,800 <br />square feet right next to a stream buffer. This was Toll Brothers, what requirements did we have for them? The last <br />question is about the open area for the dogs; by the way, what are the two little boxes in the shaded area, inside the stream <br />buffer? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: One is a septic tank and one is a pump tank. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: We already have an existing septic tank in the stream buffer. We will remove that and replace it with an open <br />area for 20 dogs to exercise. How is it that Mr. Lonsway is going to minimize his impact on this environmentally protected <br />area? <br />
