20 Michael Harvey said yes, Mr. Blake is referring to a state court ruling. 1021 1022 Tony Blake asked if the master planning process protects the area better than what the Table of Permitted Uses lists. 1023 1024 Michael Harvey said that it sort of does. As a condition, the developer agrees to the list of permitted uses spelled-out 1025 in Staff’s conditions of approval, and understands that this is all he gets. Thus, there cannot be the same reaction for 1026 a use that is not listed, which could mean that by definition, it is permitted. One benefit of the master planning 1027 process it that the aforementioned argument will not stand, based on conditions set and agreed upon. As Board 1028 members and Staff have noted, there will be a Table of Permitted Uses that will allow for a lot of these activities that 1029 are not going to be completed in a comprehensive manner consistent with the UDO, but that process is not this 1030 process. For example, typically, Staff can only require EIAs and TIAs if certain thresholds are met, whereas this with 1031 master planning process, a condition is listed that mandates it. There will now be mandatory assessments, based on 1032 the conditions, on how development of this project could impact Old 86 and the interchanges on the interstate. While 1033 everyone’s concerns may not be addressed, the master plan process does allow for more opportunity to work with a 1034 developer to establish reasonable conditions, especially with respect to environmental and transportation impacts at 1035 the site plan level. If thresholds are not met, Staff does not usually have the opportunity to require a developer 1036 consider the impacts of environmental and transportation impacts. He said that there was some concern about not 1037 being able to find information on this project. The application is on the Planning Department’s website with a link to 1038 the Settler’s Point website. The existing TIA is also available for study (a 600+ page document). 1039 1040 Amanda Berry Shocklu introduced herself as Ms. Berry’s (previous speaker) daughter. She lives at 3303 Old 86 in 1041 Hillsborough. She said that they have about 8 acres of land. She said the family is working with someone to get rid of 1042 some trees on the property. She had heard that she needs to have a certain amount of trees on the property to turn a 1043 profit from logging. The wooded area on the property currently has a lot of snakes which is a concern for her. She 1044 also said that her family would like to be connected to Hillsborough’s public water expansion instead of using her 1045 current well, which she worries is not clean. 1046 1047 Tony Blake said that he is not sure if the expansion of water-sewer will affect her property. There would be a fee to 1048 hook-up. 1049 1050 Lydia Wegman said that Mr. Harvey could provide some guidance on how to begin the process. 1051 1052 Michael Harvey said that the first step is figuring out if her property is in the primary service area where water-sewer 1053 services are being extended. If it is located there, she needs to petition the Town of Hillsborough. If their property is 1054 not within the service area, they will not be able to get public water at this time. Mr. Harvey advised Ms. Berry to 1055 come to the Planning Department to meet with him on concerns around the development of her property so that he 1056 can provide the best information, instead of answering individual questions about her property at this meeting. 1057 1058 Lydia Wegman agreed that the best thing to do is to contact the Planning Department and setup a meeting with Mr. 1059 Harvey about both of the issues she raised. 1060 1061 Tony Blake said that he sympathizes with her about the snakes. 1062 1063 Craig Benedict agreed that for those specific cases, it is best to meet with Staff at the Planning Department. 1064 1065 Debra Markley said that she also lived off of Davis Rd. She said that she frequently walks on Davis Rd. in order to 1066 get to another development to be able to walk for a distance. She said that with the increased traffic that is trying to 1067 get to Orange Grove Rd., she worries that the area will not be walkable or safe with even more traffic. She is also 1068 concerned about light from the development as well as sound issues. She moved to her community 19 years ago and 1069 she has seen development now where areas are clear-cut to make way for Waterstone (mixed residential) and for 1070 development with the Sportsplex. She is most concerned about development with District 1 with furniture and textile 1071 factories and chemical uses. These uses really concern her. She asked that the Board to take a month to study this. 1072 1073 Randy Marshall asked how long ago the area was established as an Economic Development Zoning District. 1074 24
