1. Recommended Conditions: a. CONDITION 6 – The applicant objects to granting approval/denial authority to the Orange Rural Volunteer Fire Department and suggested modification to allow review of development proposals while maintaining approval authority with the County and Town Fire Marshal. STAFF COMMENT: BOCC members wanted feedback from the Planning Board on the alteration of this condition as it was originally recommended by Planning Board members. b. CONDITION 13 (h) (vi) MTC BUFFER – the BOCC expressed concern over the proposed clearing of the MTC buffer and indicated their preference to restrict clearing to what is currently allowed within Section 6.6.5 (A) of the UDO (i.e. clearing only 50% of the MTC Buffer). STAFF COMMENT: During the public hearing the applicant indicated the project would abide by existing clearing limits so long as encroachment of utility, stormwater, and vehicular use areas (i.e. roadways, travel lanes, parking) could be accommodated within a 50 foot portion of the ‘disturbed’ MTC buffer. Staff requested the applicant provide a schematic illustrating how the project will comply with the provisions of Section 6.6.5 (A) as well as detailing the requested ‘encroachment’ and any proposal to re- vegetate/landscape the area to address buffer requirements is area was used for vehicular use areas (i.e. roadway and parking). c. CONDITION 13 (k) SIGNAGE – The BOCC expressed concern over a lack of detail on how the architectural landmark freestanding sign and entry portal signs would look. STAFF COMMENT: BOCC members requested the submittal of a rendering of the proposed signs for consideration. d. CONDITION 13 (k) (iii) (2) (e) ILLUMINATION OF SIGNAGE - A BOCC member requested clarification on the method that will be used to illuminate signage. A recommended condition indicated all signs shall be internally illuminated while language indicates external lighting would be allowed for entry portal signs. STAFF COMMENT: This was an error on staff’s part. The allowance shall be removed to ensure consistency with the project narrative. e. LAND USE – SCHOOLS, Elementary, Middle, and Secondary: There was general discussion on allowing for the development of a school (i.e. elementary, middle, high school, etc.) within the project as proposed by the applicant. BOCC members asked staff to reach out to the Orange County School District to ascertain if a facility is expected to be needed in this area. STAFF COMMENT: Staff will be reaching out to the Superintendent and Chair of the Orange County School District as requested. After conferring with the Director, staff would recommend the deletion of a school as an allowable land use within the project. 13
