Approved 9/2/2020 890 40 that's been a business there ever since I've been there and that's right next door to my house. Whatever is going 891 to go on there, those are like four to six acres lots. Once again, don't inflate it with the these humongous warehouses 892 that are happening on the west side an especially that 12 acre lot on Davis Road which I'm definitely against. Those 893 are very very different things that are happening on the same night tonight so I just wanted to air my concerns. It 894 would definitely be a setback to me to have that as residential only, I purchased it to build the school on and I've 895 been struggling for 20 years to try to get a school on it and I've been in conversations with Orange County for 20 896 years about how to build a school on it and believe me it's not easy to build anything in Orange County without going 897 through lots of red tape. If you are a very large building company and you have lawyers and you have architects and 898 you have designers and you have site planners and you have lots of money to work with you can get things done but 899 as a small mom and pop operation that I have it's very very very difficult to get anything done so I just want to assure 900 you that there aren't going to be all these things popping up on the east side of that street. There's no water and 901 sewer there, it's almost like it's impossible to build there the land doesn't perk well and we don't have water and 902 sewer. It's probably going to be sitting there for a good many years still. Ok, that's all I have to say, thank you very 903 much. 904 905 Craig Benedict: Michael Harvey, can you confirm that these rezonings would facilitate him being able to do 906 something on his property besides the Settler Point district two. 907 908 Michael Harvey: Yes, as I alluded, if the rezoning is approved then development of the individual parcels would have 909 to be compliant with the County Unified Development Ordinance but they would be developed and could be 910 developed independently from one another consistent with applicable standards including the Table of Permitted 911 Land Uses contained in Section 5.2. 912 913 Perdita Holtz: Franklin Garland has put his hand up for a second time; it will be up to the Board whether you want to 914 allow additional comments from Mr. Garland. 915 916 David Blankfard: I don't think we need to hear anything else from Mr. Garland on this agenda item. 917 918 Gerald Scarlett: I'm Gerald Scarlett again from West Scarlett Mountain Road. I just have a quick question. I think 1 919 know the answer but I want to make sure. Item 9 on the agenda, the only thing that is doing is reverting the zoning 920 for the property on the east side of Old 86 back to its previous zoning before the development for Settler's Point, is 921 that correct? 922 923 Michael Harvey: You are correct sir. 924 925 Gerald Scarlett: Thank you. 926 927 Randy Marshall: Ready to make a motion if that's the desire of the Planning Board. 928 929 David Blankfard: Yes 930 931 MOTION by Randy Marshall this would be an ordinance amending the Orange County Zoning Atlas as established in 932 Section 1.2 of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance and whereas the proposed rezoning consists of 933 the eight property owners and whereas the proposal has been found to be consistent with the 2030 Orange County 934 Comprehensive Plan and whereas the requirement of Section 2.8 of the LIDO have been deemed complete and 935 whereas the Board has found that the proposed zoning atlas amendment to be reasonably necessary to promote the 936 public health, safety, and general welfare,we recommend that the Board of County Commissioners rezone the areas 937 described above and depicted on the attached maps. 938 939 Michael Harvey: Chair Blankfard, this is Michael Harvey, can I ask for a clarification. Randy so your motion is that 940 you make a recommendation to approve the Statement of Consistency as contained in attachment 3 and the 941 proposed ordinance,which you have just summarized as contained in attachment 4 to the County Commissioners, is 942 that correct? 943 944 Randy Marshall: My presumption was we had already approved the attachment 3 by our earlier vote and I was 945 recommending approval of attachment 4.
