Approved July 9, 2018 3 Patrick Mallet: You¶ll see in your packets, starting on Page 38, the normal abstract that is prepared for a case like this, Class B Special Use Permit for a child care facility. I¶m going to go through these briefly and then I¶ve got some additional items to hand out to go with the packet. Starting on Page 46, you¶ve got your site assessment, which gives you an overview of the property. Starting on Page 47, you¶ve got your application package. Attachment 3 on Page 62 has notification materials. Staff comments start with Attachment 4 on Page 70. And then we have our Findings of Fact, prepared for each Special Use Permit Class B, starting on Page 80. And the existing Special Use Permit on Page 89. The church was opened in the 90s. The daycare facility in 2005«when was the original daycare opened? Dan Rockaway: This the third daycare. The original daycare opened in 2000. Patrick Mallett: There has been a daycare in operation here for quite some time. The current operator is Sounds and Colors and they are essentially seeking to expand the number of children from 55 to 80. Part of the expansion is the building and the existing play area. Patrick Mallett: At the advice of the attorneys office,staff amended the certification, posted the sign,and mailed out the mailings as required by the UDO. This case was cancelled due to snow. This has the new dates. I¶ll pass this out to amend the packet. I also have a page that amends the Findings of Fact with the revised dates. And a copy of the notice of the public hearing. I also have enlarged copies of the basic site layout. It¶s the same materials as in the packet, just larger. This handout is a basic overview with some of the interior. Patrick Mallett: A brief overview. United Church of Christ is located at the intersection of Davis Road and Old N.C. 86. It¶s been there for quite some time. It¶s a little hard to see at that intersection because it¶s tucked into the woods. The building to the left is the actual church. The child care facility is the building to the right. This is Old N.C. 86. If you were traveling south toward Chapel Hill, just to the north is the Settler¶s Point development recently approved and the I-40 interchange. The facility is zoned rural buffer. It¶s within the Lower Eno unprotected watershed and Jordan Lake unprotected watershed. The blue line in the middle signifies the break in the watershed.The church and the daycare has a state-approved septic system. It¶s a little bit different than your average septic system because it¶s a sand-filtered lagoon. This darker area at the bottom of the site, I believe, is the new portion of the septic system.The application has been reviewed, as it always is, not just by planning staff but by Environmental Health,the sheriff¶s office, to document support of Findings of Fact. Patrick Mallett: I¶m just going to skip over to the site plan. The area in orange is the expansion to that existing building. It¶s a 1,200-square-foot expansion to the existing building. And then they are expanding the play area, the green area alongside it. They will utilize the existing parking. They will improve the handicap parking, located outside this entranceway. To a large extent, they are going to use the 80-plus spaces of the church. The childcare facility operates during the weekdays.We consider it a compatible use in that the church uses it on the weekends. This is putting it to full use during the weekdays. Patrick Mallett: This is the more detailed site plan, showing you how they are going to rework the parking and define it, how they are going to get their ADA compliance issues dealt with in terms of the building code and the expansion area, which is essentially going to be classrooms, administrative space, and multipurpose rooms, and the required play yard and fencing. Here are some schematics of the improvements to the interior. More details on the interior. These are views from the south, east, you can see this is the expanded area, the existing building, north, and west. And west would be facing toward the existing church.
