Samantha Cabe asked what page the future site plan could be located on. Charlie Yokley informed Ms. Cabe that the 1 best plan to look at is number sheet C5, the overall site plan.2 3 Samantha Cabe asked for a page number. Patrick Mallett replied that the material packet ends on page 400 and that 4 the back end should include a reduced copy of a site plan.5 6 Charlie Yokley noted to the board and the public that the new facilities and the programming areas located on the 7 master plan were still within the areas currently used and occupied by the camp with no real outward expansion 8 towards the edges of the parcels. Working with Orange County staff through the review of the Class (B) Special Use 9 Permit, he believes the master plan as was submitted to the board is in compliance with the technical requirements of10 Orange County and the Unified Development Ordinance. He mentioned there would be no proposed new access or 11 new driveway cuts and that this would be merely to offer increased services within the camp. 12 13 Charlie Yokley mentioned that in addition to the technical requirements of the (UDO), he also mentioned the 14 requirement to show their compliance with the 3 findings of fact which are required to be met to approve a Class (B) 15 Special Use Permit. He stated that he would address two of those findings and announced that Jack Jarvis Martin a 16 certified real estate appraiser would speak to the property values question in the finding. 17 18 Mr. Yokley reviewed two findings of fact and read that: Finding 1) states that the use will maintain or promote the public 19 health, safety, and the general welfare where proposed and developed and operated according to the plans submitted. 20 He explained that Chestnut Ridge has been at this location for several years and has always tried to operate as a good 21 neighbor and will continue to do so. The use of the camp is harmonious with the environment including and up to the 22 conservation easement they dedicated to the state to prohibit any future development within some sensitive 23 environmental areas. With minimal impact to traffic, the camp has no detrimental impact on the health, safety and 24 general welfare of its neighbors or Orange County as a whole. The proposed master plan represents a modest 25 increase in capacity and will not endanger the public, health, safety or general welfare. He then read: Finding 3) states 26 that the location and character of the use if developed according to the master plan submitted will be harmonious with 27 the area designated and its use in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the county as a body of 28 these regulations or in the comprehensive plan or portion thereof adopted by the Board of Commissioners. The site’s29 proposed additions and expansions within the camp meet the requirements of the Orange County (UDO), with respect 30 to stream buffers and maximum impervious services. The proposed additions and overall use of the parcel as a camp 31 is in harmony with the area in which it’s located. To further ensure that Camp Chestnut Ridge will continue to be a 32 valuable asset to Orange County, we have agreed to ten conditions that are highlighted in the staff report to be 33 attached to the Class (B) Special Use Permit. The conditions along with the proposed development plan will ensure 34 that the camp continues to be a good neighbor into the future. 35 36 Leon Meyers asked Mr. Yokley how the ten conditions originated. Mr. Yokley responded that the condition regarding 37 the audible low-pressure alarm came from the neighborhood meeting while the others came from conversations with 38 staff as they went through the review process. 39 40 Leon Meyers asked if all the conditions were acceptable to Mr. Yokley and Camp Chestnut Ridge. Mr. Yokley said yes. 41 42 Patrick Mallett specified that the applicant had submitted signed conditions for the packet that have just the language 43 and added that the some of the conditions are typical of what you would see at a camp retreat/center. As was 44 previously mentioned, this is a long-term master plan for 20 to 30+ years. The applicants have agreed to perform a45 storm water and erosion control analysis, to update and submit site plans as they go along, and to evaluate the traffic, 46 he said. Mr. Mallett explained that as future buildings are added to the site, updates would include evaluations in terms 47 of land disturbance, erosion control, stormwater requirements, and traffic. He described it as a commitment on their 48 part to update as you go type of format.49 50 5
