Please tell me the nature of this event. <br /> <br />Sabrina Hanson: There were two events, same organization that was on Maple View property, just off the parking lot, not in <br />the street. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Could we have the very nice lady identify herself for the record? <br /> <br />Sabrina Hanson <br /> <br />Larry Wright: To summarize, how many events required overflow parking? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: Three. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: In the span of what time? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: When you say overflow parking, are you talking about parking along Diaryland Road? <br /> <br />Larry Wright: It is my opinion that what I heard was that the existing parking was not adequate and so there was overflow <br />parking. <br /> <br />Mike Parker: An example, I went to a dedication at the Maple View Agricultural Center for the solar panels for Duke Power. <br />There was parking that day that extended beyond the parking lot that is at the ag center. You can consider that overflow <br />parking but as I recall almost all if not all of that occurred on the farm pasture property that is adjacent to the ag center. None <br />of it was on Dairyland Road. You have to realize this is on a large farm and when you say overflow parking, I think …. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: We are talking about three events in a span of what time interval? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: One was in the fall of 2009, one in the spring of 2010 and Muffin’s funeral was in October 2010, last fall. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: Ok. I live in Northern Orange County and I live in a rural area and I get noise and Mr. Harvey has been at my <br />house delivering packets. He delivered this one. I am in the middle of nowhere. How far does Mr. Nutter live from the “party <br />barn”? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: Mr. Nutter, how far is your house from the ag center? Here is his house. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: It is about as far as some of those neighbors, right? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: Right. There are no buffers between his house and here. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: I understand. Thank you. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: Mr. Parker, in your response to Mr. Harvey’s office on the revised SUP, there is a comment that states we are still <br />bound by a total seating and building capacity limit as established and enforced by the Orange County Inspections <br />Department and the Fire Marshall’s office as well as a limit on the total number of events. Can you give me a number as far <br />as the building capacity limit and a total number of events? <br /> <br />Mike Parker: Muffin’s funeral. People were standing inside and out. <br /> <br />Mark Micol: The total number of events, do we know how many, the capacity is for that? That is the fire marshal. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Mr. Micol, if you can turn to page 149, I provided you a copy of the septic permit as issued by the Orange <br />County Health Department. They indicated there is only two times a day this facility can be utilized at maximum. The <br />interpretation has been that Maple View Ag Center has had on numerous days, multiple events but they have never gotten to <br />their maximum.
