Approved 9/2/2020 834 Board it would develop under site plan review. There are standards in the Unified Development Ordinance dealing 835 with shared driveway access that any development on these properties would have to abide by, but the rezoning of 836 these parcels would mean that the concept access management strategy developed as part of the Settler's Point 837 MPD-CZ would not have to be followed and from our standpoint, it is more appropriate to give these individual 838 property owners a path forward to development of their property as compliant with the various 18 or so pages of 839 conditions associated with the Settler's Point MPD-CZ would be difficult for them to abide by. 840 841 Bob Bundschuh: And water and sewer? 842 843 Michael Harvey: I'm sorry sir; I forgot the water and sewer(question). These parcels are not intended nor are they 844 slated to be served by water and sewer. In order for any of these eight parcels to get water/sewer, it is my opinion 845 they would have to request annexation of the Town of Hillsborough. My apologies for that. This rezoning does not 846 somehow give them the ability to tap onto water/sewer inconsistent with what the Town's original reaction was back 847 when Settler's Point was being reviewed. 848 849 Franklin Garland: So, Mr. Harvey, it's my understanding with these eight parcels and pretty much everything else out 850 there that what you decide goes and even though the ethics part of our webpage out here says that you can't do that, 851 you just gonna railroad everything through no matter what as you saying this is not going to go to the Board of 852 Commissioners, what you're doing right now. That they would have no say, they can't tell you no, and hold on hold 853 on, I'm not done.... 854 855 Michael Harvey: No sir, this Zoning Atlas amendment has to go to the County Commissioners for eventual approval, 856 the development of these properties, as individual parcels would be handled by the staff consistent with the 857 requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance as all permitted land uses would be handled. 858 859 Franklin Garland: Ok, so if you spending all this time and energy and all this money on it and all the people out here, 860 1 can get 20 or 30 thousand people to go against what you're trying to propose, you have wasted all this money and it 861 will go to the Board of Commissioners and they gonna say, well we agree with the community, maybe they will this 862 time. Apparently, you don't. You don't live here, I don't know where you live, you know. I don't know where the 863 Commissioners live, I don't know where the rest of the Board lives but apparently they're not being affected by this 864 because they could care less, including you, ok. I would really appreciate it if actually some of the Commissioners 865 and some of these planning people came and looked at these properties. I will gladly let you on my property and 866 show you what I mean. I have a drone I can fly over so you can see it because apparently you going by maps and 867 that's good enough and that's not good enough for the people that live here by the way. You know what's good 868 enough is for you to leave us alone. 869 870 David Blankfard: Thank you Mr. Garland 871 872 Steve Kaufmann: Can I have video too. My name is Steve Kaufmann and I did receive a letter from the County for 873 this. First, let me introduce myself as a resident of Hillsborough for 25 years. I moved here to be a school teacher 874 here and I moved on Davis Road and like everyone else has spoken about Davis Road, I just love this road it's like a 875 dream come true moving here and I opened up a martial arts school here. I've been teaching martial arts in 876 Hillsborough for 25 years also. Driving on Old 86 on my way to work, I saw some land for sale on the east side right 877 near 40 and I wanted to build a martial arts school so I purchased that land that was actually zoned for schools at 878 that time. Unfortunately, there as a moratorium for six months going on while I was purchasing it and once the 879 moratorium was over I was no longer able to build a school on it. So I've been waiting for 20 years and I had the 880 opportunity to have a school on it when Settler's Point was approved because basically the codes changed a lot 881 during that time which they're present still. Because of what Michael Harvey explained, it's impossible for anyone to 882 do anything with that property given that everyone has to work together because there's traffic ordinances and lots of 883 details that take lots of money to do anything within any of that property. So, I don't want people to inflate those 884 properties on the east side with the this humongous thing that's going on with the west side. They are very very 885 different things. I purchased this property exactly 20 years ago; I'm like a newcomer there. I purchased it from a 886 family who had lived there for generations and all my neighbors have lived there for generations, I mean, I'm 887 definitely the new guy there after 20 years. All those people have had property for many years and I don't know what 888 they are planning to do with it but I don't see anyone eager to build with it, they are just sitting on it, including myself 889 at the moment. We're very very close to 1-40 there's already Dodson's Construction is already a business right near
