331 <br />Michael Harveysaid there will be traffic impact analyses in the future as site plans are submitted that may accelerate 332 <br />the need to make external or internal improvements. 333 <br />334 <br />Tony Blakeasked if there was consideration to align the service road with the commercial area nearly across the 335 <br />street. 336 <br />337 <br />Michael Harveysaid that will probably happen at some point as the conditions mandate. It’s not mandated yet 338 <br />because the service road can accommodate the traffic expected to be generated. There was interest in providing 339 <br />such spaces near the hotel and the commuter lot. 340 <br />341 <br />Hunter Spitzer proposed electric vehicle charging stations. He proposed 5 percent of the parking spaces be electric 342 <br />vehicle charging stations. 343 <br />344 <br />Jim Parker suggested 1 percent. 345 <br />346 <br />The board and Jim Parker briefly discussed the percentage and the interest in electric charging stations. Some board 347 <br />members expressed concern that the hotel have that imposition. Others thought it was an amenity that might attract 348 <br />overnight stays.349 <br />350 <br />Michael Harveychecked that the applicant is agreeing with the condition that 1 percent of the parking lot in District 2 351 <br />will be made viable for vehicle recharge. He asked for a show of hands so that he can see that there is consensus on 352 <br />the Planning Board. 353 <br />354 <br />Planning Board voted in favor (7-4) of the 1 percentof parking containing electric vehicle charging stations. He noted 355 <br />there was a majority consensus on the board. Some board members continued to feel strongly that the condition of 356 <br />electric charging stations was onerous. 357 <br />358 <br />Michael Harveyreviewed potential uses of the site, found on Pages 279-280of the agenda packet. 359 <br />360 <br />Lydia Wegman asked whether there were any further questions. 361 <br />362 <br />Ronald Sieberaddressed the board. He said he is a neighbor of the project and wanted to know if there is a three-363 <br />dimensional visual of what the development will look like. He enjoys his semi-rural lifestyle and wants businesses that 364 <br />serve him and not just the people that drive along the interstate. He would be interested in something like Timberlyne 365 <br />Shopping Center.366 <br />367 <br />Jim Parkersaid that there is not a three-dimensional vision at this point. He said everything has to be laid out and 368 <br />approved before someone who has that vision comes forward.369 <br />370 <br />Michael Harveysaid there are conceptual schematics, detailed buffer plans, architectural design standards, and a 371 <br />specific list of allowable uses. There is actually more buffer proposed for this project than with Timberlyne, which is a 372 <br />strip mall shopping center in Chapel Hill. 373 <br />374 <br />Craig Benedict said we know what this project will produce as far as floor area ratio with open space and we can 375 <br />calculate Timberlyne’s for comparison. 376 <br />377 <br />Michael Harvey pointed out that Timberlyne was built when stormwater standards were different. Those standards 378 <br />have since changed and mightchange again before thisproject is built out and each project would have to abide by 379 <br />the standards current at that time. 380 <br />381 <br />Kim Piraccisaid truck stops have huge parking areas. Would you want to do that? 382 <br />383 <br />Jim Park answered no.384 <br />385 <br /> 12
