Staff does not make recommendations on those. <br />On page 148, if it is your decision to approve, I have got 8 (eight) conditions listed. Those conditions are that the <br />applicant get a building permit and all the other permits as required by 8.8.11.3, that the Orange County Fire <br />Marshal’s office review and approve the building plans as part of the normal building permit review process, that <br />the Orange County Fire Marshal inspect the roadway modifications to determine if they are consistent with the <br />approved site plan and provide approval, that the applicant submit the formal application in order to obtain the <br />necessary septic permit, that the applicant shall supply to the planning department, Orange County Environmental <br />Health with a permit approved from the state indicating the type of system approved for the site, for the applicant <br />to supply the planning department, Environmental Health staff inspections report from the state indicating the <br />system has been inspected and can be used for the proposed kennel prior to the commencement of operations. <br />The applicant completes, submits and receive approval of a Class II kennel from the Orange County Animal <br />Control Department, that the applicant submit a sign rendering, that the applicant submit the approved site plan <br />for DOT for review in the event that it is determined that the applicant is required to apply for and receive a <br />driveway permit, they will do so at that time. Those are the general conditions we are recommending. I would <br />also recommend the board to consider the following additions to that list. These are in no particular. That a <br />condition is imposed and the applicant has agreed that the site plan be modified, specifically number 1, to include <br />the maximum number of dogs and cats that will be boarded or housed in this facility. I recommended this be done <br />in the next 60 days. I will leave this with Dr. Wright. Dr. Wright brought up a concern about the landscaping. I <br />believe that notes 8 and 9 address that concern. If Dr. Wright so inclined, staff will not be opposed to a condition <br />being added that landscaping be installed consistent with the language contained and notating that on the site <br />plan. Condition 11 that the acoustical analysis that has been provided but was not entered into evidence by this <br />board be included as part of the site plan review and approval by staff and become part of the record of the site <br />plan and building approval. I am hesitating to bring this one up. Hours of operation, the board needs to determine <br />if they want to include a condition dealing the hours of operation. That suggested by the applicant from 7 AM to 7 <br />PM with no arrivals prior to 7 AM and no pickups or arrivals after 7 PM in the evening. I would also suggest, the <br />applicant has testified to this, and Mr. Herman can certainly respond in a moment that the special use permit <br />indicates that the applicant accepts the responsibility of maintaining the road which is 20 foot wide width. As a <br />requirement, the Fire Marshal, has agreed to. That is all I have. <br />Tom Brown: Mr. Herman, if we get into the discussion of hours of operation, would it also be prudent to add the <br />wording from 7 AM to 7 PM and also the outdoor runs would not be used except during those hours. <br />Nick Herman: Yes. <br />Tom Brown: It would be the same thing, hours of operation and hours of use of the runs. <br />Nick Herman: It is helpful for you to know there is no objection at all so there is no down side to doing it. <br />Tom Brown: I want to be clear because when I close the public hearing, we will not be able to talk. <br />Larry Wright: Michael, on page 47, you said this conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, this is one of the elements <br />we must consider in the approval process, can you make a little of testimony on that we can use. It is stated that <br />it does, do you have some language for that? <br />Michael Harvey: Without putting words in the board’s mouth, on page 47 of the abstract, what staff has done is <br />offer its opinion on whether or not this particular proposal complies with the standards in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />In our determination, with respect to the definition of Agricultural Residential Land Use category, we believe that <br />this proposal is consistent with this definition and it is also consistent with Land Use Goal 3 and Objective LU 1.1, <br />encouraging land uses that are consistent with rural lifestyles. We have indicated in here that we believe that this <br />land use based on the surrounding land uses but in the overall encompassing goal of the Agricultural Land Use
