Approved 11/01/2017 <br /> <br />26 <br />Lydia Wegman asked if there were any additional comments. She thanked everyone for coming to the meeting to 1318 <br />speak and thanked Mr. Parker and his team for coming, and to Michael Harvey and Craig Benedict for their help this 1319 <br />evening. She said that from her perspective, she appreciated the applicant’s willingness to have continued 1320 <br />discussions on the environmental and transportation assessments; this is very important. That component is a plus of 1321 <br />this application. She did hear concerns about transportation and she does hope that the developer and other 1322 <br />businesses will work closely with members of the community on transportation and environmental concerns. She 1323 <br />asked again if anyone else had additional comments. 1324 <br /> 1325 <br />Michael Harvey said that if there is a consensus among Board members that the item be tabled until November, it is 1326 <br />the Board’s prerogative. If the decision is that there is a consensus to recommend this project, there are 1327 <br />modifications that need to be made to Attachment 7. He will walk the Board member through making the motion on 1328 <br />this part in order to address the Board’s comments and to fix some items in the review that he did not catch earlier. 1329 <br />He needs to ensure that the motion is consistent and clean to address all concerns from Board members, and 1330 <br />modifications that ensure District 3 is eliminated from any review, point or discussion. 1331 <br /> 1332 <br />Tony Blake clarified that Item C would include Attachment 7 as amended. 1333 <br /> 1334 <br />Michael Harvey added that it would read “as amended and as further amended,” if that is the decision to move 1335 <br />forward. 1336 <br /> 1337 <br />Lydia Wegman asked if any of the modifications would be relevant in the Board’s thinking. 1338 <br /> 1339 <br />Michael Harvey said that they could potentially be relevant. 1340 <br /> 1341 <br />Lydia Wegman asked for Mr. Harvey to go through the modifications. 1342 <br /> 1343 <br />Michael Harvey said that in Attachment 7, he will be applying the following notes. He heard from a Planning Board 1344 <br />member tonight that in regards to Condition 4 regarding site plan approval (page 308) that references be included to 1345 <br />local volunteer fire departments to review site plans. 1346 <br /> 1347 <br />Tony Blake said that this would be for the primary responding volunteer fire department. 1348 <br /> 1349 <br />Michael Harvey continued with his proposed modifications. He said that there would have to be explicit language 1350 <br />saying that the Town of Hillsborough has to review and indicate if there is capacity for water and sewer service, prior 1351 <br />to the County Planning Department issuing a site plan approval. On page 311, in Condition 6, the local volunteer fire 1352 <br />department needs to be added to the Orange County Fire Marshall and Town of Hillsborough sharing review and 1353 <br />approving location of fire lanes, location of fire hydrants, and location of proposed standpipes. The local volunteer fire 1354 <br />department shall also be involved in the float test, which is now all in Condition 8. On page 315, for District 2, 1355 <br />numbers 3 and 16 are for movie theaters. There only needs to be one movie theater so the recommendation would 1356 <br />be to delete number 16 and renumber accordingly to correct the duplication. On 317, the condition (Condition H) 1357 <br />regarding landscaping around the Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District, a statement needs to be 1358 <br />added to number one at the end to say, “unless clearing is consistent with Section 6.6.5 (a) of the UDO.” The UDO 1359 <br />does allow for breaks for visibility in the MTC. He said that there was some discussion that the BOCC receive a 1360 <br />rendering or an example of the architectural landmark sign and an entry portal sign so that they can make a 1361 <br />recommendation if the proposed square footage is acceptable. Mr. Harvey said that he did not hear the Board 1362 <br />express concerns about the square footage of the signage, but everyone wants to see and understand what the 1363 <br />feature will look like to determine if it is appropriate. The recommendation is that the developer provides this. There 1364 <br />are examples of other signage in the application. 1365 <br /> 1366 <br />Paul Guthrie said that he thought seeing the examples would be a good idea. 1367 <br /> 1368 <br />Tony Blake noted a typo in Condition H with feet. Michael Harvey made a note of it and said that it was correct in the 1369 <br />developer’s application. 1370
