D R A F T David Blankfard: There is a similar part on the east side. That person’s home is quite close to the property line. I 220 am just wondering is their backyard going to be your driveway and parking lot. 221 222 Michael Birch: No, there was anticipate likely having a stormwater control facility in that area and then only outside of 223 that, again, we are kind of showing a 100 foot buffer on this exhibit that the parking and drive aisle would be outside 224 of that, largely outside of that 100 feet. 225 226 David Blankfard: Is this going to be phased construction; are you starting with Building A and then going to Build B, 227 C and then finishing up with D? 228 229 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 230 would be phased. The building likely off the service road to be part of that initial phase. 231 232 David Blankfard: Are they all one story, or are they going to be multiple stories or high bay? 233 234 Michael Birch: Anticipated to be one story. 235 236 David Blankfard: So, high bay? 237 238 Michael Birch: Yes. 239 240 David Blankfard: Are you going to put any photovoltaics on the roof? 241 242 Hunter Spitzer: I was going to ask how far away is the nearest Duke Energy substation? 243 244 Michael Birch: I want to make sure I heard the two questions to make sure we get the response for you. One, how 245 far away are we from the closest Duke Energy substation and then two, are we planning to include any photovoltaic 246 cells or panels on the roofs. Just from the developer it’s likely that some will be included. We don’t have the answer 247 on what the distance is to the substation. 248 249 Hunter Spitzer: Would the developer be willing to submit to a condition requiring roofs not to install solar immediately 250 but to be readily available to solar installation? If that makes sense? Designed with the intent to install solar. 251 252 Michael Birch: Yes, I think that’s something that the developer would be willing to agree to. 253 254 Hunter Spitzer: Additionally, would the developer be willing to commit to electrical vehicle charging stations in 255 addition to this? 256 257 Michael Birch: Yes. 258 259 Hunter Spitzer: I know for the Settler’s Point development we had, I am be confusing this with a different Special Use 260 Permit, but we had agreed to a particular number of stations per parking spaces. I am sure one of the staff can 261 remember because it was based on the parking deck for the Orange County Municipal Building downtown. What 262 would be acceptable ratio? 263 264 Michael Birch: My senses given the nature of this development and how different it is both from Settler’s Point and 265 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 266 ratio basis. I think we could discuss a flat number of station. 267 268 Hunter Spitzer: I see and are you intending to provide stations or availability to electrical fleet management 269 particularly in the context of developing the distribution center? 270 271 Michael Birch: Sorry, just to kind of answer your question, our sense is that something like that or having that 272 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 273 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, 274 again if it’s not a warehouse, distribution use. Kind of having those and nothing to use it so I think given that is 275 464
