Approved 2.1.17 13 Lydia Wegman: But you did say we might have other ORC discussions? 634 635 Michael Harvey: Well there are going to be a lot of ORC discussions. You’re cited to do a minimum of at least one more. I’m 636 probably thinking there will be one more after that so you guys are going to see this in a couple different f ormats. I’ve kept 637 manufacturing, assembly, and processing consistent with the work you’ve already done that begins on page 51. There was no 638 reason to change that. I thought the work you all did with Perdita and the work she did needed to be preserved. So that is 639 incorporated verbatim from what you’ve already seen, and done, and played with. Let me ask you a question as we get to 640 page 57. Medical uses. We currently break down medical uses really to health services over 10,000, health services under 641 10,000. I don’t see a reason to have an arbitrary square footage limit because I can actually think of several health services at 642 9,000, 8,000, 7,000 square feet that would probably be something you don’t want in several districts, and some let’s say at 643 2,000, 3,000 you may want to allow in more prevalent locations. So if you’re comfortable I’m going to abandon the square 644 footage issue and just list out what I consider health services using some of the makes, physicians’ officers and the likes. Are 645 you all ok with that for the next draft? 646 647 Unanimous approval. 648 649 Tony Blake: What about page 62? I keep hearing people float the idea of some sort of a, for lack of a better comparison, wolf 650 trap type thing around here. Smaller but it’s an outdoor performing arts summer theatre type of thing. Is that intended to be 651 covered under this? 652 653 Michael Harvey: I’m sure it will be. 654 655 Lisa Stuckey: So the fact that we allow no performing arts… 656 657 Michael Harvey: Well this is just the list, one of the reasons is I haven’t figured out what I want to do with some of this yet. But 658 to answer Tony’s question about recreation uses from that standpoint, I think part of my answer to you Tony is going to be if 659 you’re proposing and we currently haven’t defined a recreational facility that is a wolf trap-esque it would be a Class B SUP. 660 661 Michael Harvey: So utilities… One of the concerns that I am working with on utilities is trying to figure out what State law does 662 and does not let me do. Current code says that for you to have a utility distribution line over a certain wattage or pressure in 663 terms of gas, you have to get a SUP. There is some thought that State utilities commission actually trumps what we can or 664 can’t do because they’re saying PSNC, UPiedmont have an obligation to provide a service, you have to get it in. Well the SUP 665 was denied. Well who is Orange County, or Chapel Hill, or Durham to tell you that you can’t install a mandated state utility? 666 667 Tony Blake: They won’t let you… There are grid requirements that would trump you. 668 669 Paul Guthrie: That case is going to get fully aired as they build a new pipeline through Eastern North Carolina. 670 671 Michael Harvey: The regional pipeline issue going through Virginia, North Carolina I think actually bears some scrutiny 672 whereas the PSNC Pipeline that went through Orange County that provides service to County residents and handles outside 673 County, it’s part of their distribution line. I think it’s a better argument for that one to say why are you requiring this to have a 674 SUP when you have to approve it? Because what PSNC argued during their SUP hearing was, “We’re a public necessity” and 675 there was some truth. Now they still went through the process, they didn’t sue me; they went through the process… 676 677 Paul Guthrie: And then sold themselves out to Duke Power. 678 679 Michael Harvey: Yes, and then we had a really ugly public hearing. It was not pretty, but the SUP was approved. So you’re 680 going to be hearing more about utilities as we move forward from that standpoint. I wanted to at least call your attention to why 681 there may be a change. Wholesale trade, again, we’ve just provided you the breakdown to show you the level of detail. And I 682 think I have sufficient direction to get you to phase 2. 683 684 Michael Harvey: You’ll see this in March. Now what I’ll do for you to get you something in either a table or an Excel format that 685 will make it a little easier for you to search electronically, which we can do. It’ll take me some time to figure out. 686
