Approved 9/6/17 15 permit. The fifth and final request is that the Board clarify wedding events, where and how they are permitted 738 (inclusive of bed and breakfasts and camp/retreat centers with Special Use Permits). She also said that the 739 organization is concerned that if something is not specified in the Table of Permitted Uses, it may be permitted in 740 every district. It seems as though it would be important to clarify where weddings could occur. She also commented 741 on the earlier discussion on assembly uses by Michael Harvey, and if the idea on assembly uses being combined 742 together and if they could be permitted in any zoning district, Preserve Rural Orange would be strongly opposed to 743 that. She said that at least two of the event centers she noted earlier began as wedding event venues, and when 744 there appeared to be opposition to this use, they re-labeld their projects as agricultural. This is of concern. It is 745 concerning that building on-site was proposed as a utility building but is then used as a building for assembly and 746 was permitted, like in the case of the Barn of Chapel Hill. The more information people know about these proposed 747 uses in as far advance as possible, there will be enough oversight and more opportunity for public input. 748 749 Lydia Wegman asked for a copy of Ms. Streitfeld’s comments. Ms. Wegman said that these requests will be included 750 in the meeting notes. She said that she knew that Michael Harvey has taken these comments under advisement and 751 would discuss them further with the Board once he had time to think about them further. 752 753 Michael Harvey confirmed this. 754 755 Lydia Wegman thanked Michael Harvey for going through the Table of Permitted Uses with the Board. 756 757 AGENDA ITEM 9: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS 758 a) BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 759 b) ORANGE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION 760 761 Lydia Wegman asked if there were any reports from the Board of Adjustment or the Orange Unified Transportation 762 (OUT) Board. 763 764 Michael Harvey said that the last two Board of Adjustment meetings have been canceled. One item on the agenda 765 was for a Class II Kennel, and while this application has not been withdrawn, the applicant has asked that the 766 application be put on indefinite hold until they address issues around well and septic, and access issues related to 767 comments from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). 768 769 Randy Marshall asked if there had been any updates on the tire and mosquito issue raised at the last Planning Board 770 meeting in July. 771 772 Craig Benedict responded that Planning is still working with the Environmental Health Department in regards to how 773 the program could be expanded beyond the personal application of mosquito control to going out into the field on 774 specific instances such as tire storage. He said that he will check back with the Environmental Health Department 775 since they are the ones that have led the charge on this issue since there were funding sources for this issue within 776 the department. 777 778 Randy Marshall said that he has observed even more tires at the location than there were before and there have 779 been several rains. 780 781 Lydia Wegman asked if he was speaking about Triangle Tire. 782 783 Randy Marshall said that he was. 784 785 Kim Piracci asked if Environmental Health had called Triangle Tire. 786 787 Craig Benedict responded and said that to his knowledge, Environmental Health had reached out to them. He said 788 that there is new partnership at the business and that he is looking into asking them about storage inside buildings of 789 tires (a code issue) and if the tires can be covered, and if they would spray the area. 790
