Approved 9/2/2020 1112 1113 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 1114 would be phased. The building likely off the service road to be part of that initial phase. 1115 1116 David Blankfard: Are they all one story,or are they going to be multiple stories or high bay? 1117 1118 Michael Birch: Anticipated to be one story. 1119 1120 David Blankfard: So, high bay? 1121 1122 Michael Birch: Yes. 1123 1124 David Blankfard: Are you going to put any photovoltaics on the roof? 1125 1126 Hunter Spitzer: I was going to ask how far away is the nearest Duke Energy substation? 1127 1128 Michael Birch: I want to make sure I heard the two questions to make sure we get the response for you. One, how 1129 far away are we from the closest Duke Energy substation and then two, are we planning to include any photovoltaic 1130 cells or panels on the roofs. Just from the developer it's likely that some will be included. We don't have the answer 1131 on what the distance is to the substation. 1132 1133 Hunter Spitzer: Would the developer be willing to submit to a condition requiring roofs not to install solar immediately 1134 but to be readily available to solar installation? If that makes sense? Designed with the intent to install solar. 1135 1136 Michael Birch: Yes, I think that's something that the developer would be willing to agree to. 1137 1138 Hunter Spitzer: Additionally, would the developer be willing to commit to electrical vehicle charging stations in 1139 addition to this? 1140 1141 Michael Birch: Yes. 1142 1143 Hunter Spitzer: I know for the Settler's Point development we had, I am be confusing this with a different Special Use 1144 Permit, but we had agreed to a particular number of stations per parking spaces. I am sure one of the staff can 1145 remember because it was based on the parking deck for the Orange County Municipal Building downtown. What 1146 would be acceptable ratio? 1147 1148 Michael Birch: My senses given the nature of this development and how different it is both from Settler's Point and 1149 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 1150 ratio basis. I think we could discuss a flat number of station. 1151 1152 Hunter Spitzer: I see and are you intending to provide stations or availability to electrical fleet management 1153 particularly in the context of developing the distribution center? 1154 1155 Michael Birch: Sorry, just to kind of answer your question, our sense is that something like that or having that 1156 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 1157 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, 1158 again if it's not a warehouse, distribution use. Kind of having those and nothing to use it so I think given that is 1159 somewhat of a trend being driven by some of those types of users, if there is that type of use there, I would expect 1160 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, 1 1161 don't think we can commit to that as a condition. 1162 1163 Hunter Spitzer: Are you anticipating any fuel storage on the premises, gasoline, diesel or otherwise for backup 1164 generation or vehicle fueling? I'm not sure where the nearest gas station is immediately to this but I imagine if you 1165 are expecting a lot of traffic it wouldn't be unreasonable. 1166 1167 Michael Birch: There might be some diesel storage for backup generation but that's really all that is anticipated.
