What do they denote? <br />Chad Abbott: Additional screening as required by the Orange County Ordinance for parking spaces for any time <br />they are adjacent to any other residences. That is why they surround the parking spaces to provide screening <br />from any parked cars of Mr. West’s proposed business from any of the surrounding residences. <br />Nick Herman: This provides a screen basically with any kind of view coming here, here, and here in the facility? <br />Chad Abbott: Yes. For the parked cars. They are about four feet high of every screen that is required. <br />Nick Herman: Where are the parking spaces and how many? <br />Chad Abbott: You have five there, one being van accessible. There is an eight foot access aisle. Any time you <br />have a handicap space, at least one out of eight must be van accessible so since there is only one, it must be van <br />accessible so that is the eight foot access aisle. It will be a hard surface concrete because we must provide a <br />hard surface for all access routes and spaces or loading areas for handicap. <br />Nick Herman: So you have a handicap space among other spaces? <br />Chad Abbott: Yes sir. <br />Nick Herman: The hatched area is? <br />Chad Abbott: A concrete fire way which is deemed as the accessible route from that space to the building. <br />Nick Herman: Cars come in here and may park here and what is the drill, they come around and come out? <br />Chad Abbott: It is anticipated that most of the time someone will bear off to the right, park, unload their animal <br />and then continue out. <br />Nick Herman: What do these squiggly lines denote? <br />Chad Abbott: This is the approximate location of existing buffer or screening around his property. It has been <br />drawn in based on aerial photography from Orange County GIS. It is used to note the limits of the existing tree <br />line and to show we will not be disturbing any of the existing vegetation or cutting into the existing buffer around <br />the proposed facility. <br />Nick Herman: What is this area reserved for? <br />Chad Abbott: As Mr. Harvey indicated, the Health Department did not approve Mr. West’s site for another septic <br />or perk area so we will be designing a drip field in the woods for him. It consists of a septic tank as any other <br />system would with a couple of other tanks that will eventually pump into little tubes with a diaphragm on it. <br />Nick Herman: Subject to the approval of the local and state authorities. <br />Chad Abbott: The state. <br />Nick Herman: As a condition of the Special Use Permit, that is what this area is reserved for. Is that right?
