D R A F T Michael Birch: Likely, it will be phased. I don’t know exactly if it’s a Building A, B, C, D but we do anticipate that it 1111 would be phased. The building likely off the service road to be part of that initial phase.1112 1113 David Blankfard: Are they all one story, or are they going to be multiple stories or high bay?1114 1115 Michael Birch: Anticipated to be one story.1116 1117 David Blankfard: So, high bay?1118 1119 Michael Birch: Yes.1120 1121 David Blankfard: Are you going to put any photovoltaics on the roof?1122 1123 Hunter Spitzer: I was going to ask how far away is the nearest Duke Energy substation?1124 1125 Michael Birch: I want to make sure I heard the two questions to make sure we get the response for you. One, how 1126 far away are we from the closest Duke Energy substation and then two, are we planning to include any photovoltaic 1127 cells or panels on the roofs. Just from the developer it’s likely that some will be included. We don’t have the answer 1128 on what the distance is to the substation.1129 1130 Hunter Spitzer: Would the developer be willing to submit to a condition requiring roofs not to install solar immediately 1131 but to be readily available to solar installation? If that makes sense? Designed with the intent to install solar.1132 1133 Michael Birch: Yes, I think that’s something that the developer would be willing to agree to.1134 1135 Hunter Spitzer: Additionally, would the developer be willing to commit to electrical vehicle charging stations in 1136 addition to this?1137 1138 Michael Birch: Yes.1139 1140 Hunter Spitzer: I know for the Settler’s Point development we had, I am be confusing this with a different Special Use 1141 Permit, but we had agreed to a particular number of stations per parking spaces. I am sure one of the staff can 1142 remember because it was based on the parking deck for the Orange County Municipal Building downtown. What 1143 would be acceptable ratio?1144 1145 Michael Birch: My senses given the nature of this development and how different it is both from Settler’s Point and 1146 the project that was used as a reference point for that Settler’s Point ratio, my sense is we would not be agree on a 1147 ratio basis. I think we could discuss a flat number of station. 1148 1149 Hunter Spitzer: I see and are you intending to provide stations or availability to electrical fleet management 1150 particularly in the context of developing the distribution center?1151 1152 Michael Birch: Sorry, just to kind of answer your question, our sense is that something like that or having that 1153 available will be driven by the end user, a particular end user that we don’t have in mind right now or don’t have at 1154 the table. So I think it would be hard for us, difficult for us to commit to providing that and then there’s the potential, 1155 again if it’s not a warehouse, distribution use. Kind of having those and nothing to use it so I think given that is 1156 somewhat of a trend being driven by some of those types of users, if there is that type of use there, I would expect 1157 them to be there but I think not knowing who the users are going to be or what type of user there is going to be, I 1158 don’t think we can commit to that as a condition.1159 1160 Hunter Spitzer: Are you anticipating any fuel storage on the premises, gasoline, diesel or otherwise for backup 1161 generation or vehicle fueling? I’m not sure where the nearest gas station is immediately to this but I imagine if you 1162 are expecting a lot of traffic it wouldn’t be unreasonable.1163 1164 Michael Birch: There might be some diesel storage for backup generation but that’s really all that is anticipated.1165 1166 23
