2 <br /> <br />Answers:The property owners/applicants noted that this facility would be an investment <br />for them, so it would be in their own best interest to keep it clean. <br />OC Solid Waste is reviewing the proposed plan and any violations of Solid Waste <br />regulations could result in enforcement action from that department. <br />xSanitation –In relation to the portable toilets, one neighbor worried about sanitation. <br />Portable toilets don’t necessarily have a place for hand-washing. If the applicants aren’t <br />proposing a well, how will people wash their hands? And are the proposed portable <br />toilets enough to support the number of game attendees? <br />Answers:The property owners/applicants said attendees usually bring hand sanitizer to <br />events. Sam Nye (Engineer) suggested a “sanitation station,” a table set up with hand <br />sanitizers for players and guests. The applicants also noted that the portable toilets would <br />be “nicer” than the standard portable toilets you see on a construction site. These toilets <br />would be portable restroom trailers you see at wedding events, etc. <br />xSafety –A neighbor asked how the property would be kept secure when not in use. <br />Answer:The property owners/applicants would like to install a fence/gate. Planning <br />would have no objections to this. <br />xHunting –One neighbor said her fiancé and a friend received permission to hunt on the <br />property from the previous owner. They were unaware the property had been sold. Can <br />they collect their tree stands? Also, have the owners considered leasing the acreage <br />outside of the lacrosse facility for hunting? <br />Answers:The property owners/applicants had no objection to the neighbors collecting <br />their tree stands. The owners haven’t thought much about the residual acreage since <br />they’re focusing on the lacrosse facility at the moment. <br />Michael Harvey (Current Planning) said that a commercial hunting operation would need <br />zoning approval; however, if the owners want to grant access to neighbors for hunting— <br />without receiving payment—they could do that without a permit. <br />xTraffic –The group expressed a lot of concern about the increase in traffic. The site plan <br />proposes almost 300 parking spaces. How many people will be on-site at one time? <br />Where will the driveway be? How will the increase in traffic be handled? <br />Answers: Molly Boyle (Current Planning) said that the applicants paid for a Traffic <br />Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA evaluates how the proposed use, in this case a lacrosse <br />facility, will affect traffic in the area. Since Atkins Road and NC 49 are State-maintained <br />roads, the TIA was submitted to NC DOT. If any improvements to the roads are required, <br />NC DOT will be making those requests. <br />
