try to get a sense of it there but I think with a mix of landscaping that we anticipate in that area that is a mitigating par t 221 of the transition. 222 223 David Blankfard: There is a similar part on the east side. That person’s home is quite close to the property line. I 224 am just wondering is their backyard going to be your driveway and parking lot. 225 226 Michael Birch: No, there was anticipate likely having a stormwater control facility in that area and then only outside of 227 that, again, we are kind of showing a 100 foot buffer on this exhibit that the parking and drive aisle would be outside 228 of that, largely outside of that 100 feet. 229 230 David Blankfard: Is this going to be phased construction; are you starting with Building A and then going to Build B, 231 C and then finishing up with D? 232 233 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 234 would be phased. The building likely off the service road to be part of that initial phase. 235 236 David Blankfard: Are they all one story, or are they going to be multiple stories or high bay? 237 238 Michael Birch: Anticipated to be one story. 239 240 David Blankfard: So, high bay? 241 242 Michael Birch: Yes. 243 244 David Blankfard: Are you going to put any photovoltaics on the roof? 245 246 Hunter Spitzer: I was going to ask how far away is the nearest Duke Energy substation? 247 248 Michael Birch: I want to make sure I heard the two questions to make sure we get the response for you. One, how 249 far away are we from the closest Duke Energy substation and then two, are we planning to include any photovoltaic 250 cells or panels on the roofs. Just from the developer it’s likely that some will be included. We don’t have the answer 251 on what the distance is to the substation. 252 253 Hunter Spitzer: Would the developer be willing to submit to a condition requiring roofs not to install solar immediately 254 but to be readily available to solar installation? If that makes sense? Designed with the intent to install solar. 255 256 Michael Birch: Yes, I think that’s something that the developer would be willing to agree to. 257 258 Hunter Spitzer: Additionally, would the developer be willing to commit to electrical vehicle charging stations in 259 addition to this? 260 261 Michael Birch: Yes. 262 263 Hunter Spitzer: I know for the Settler’s Point development we had, I am be confusing this with a different Special Use 264 Permit, but we had agreed to a particular number of stations per parking spaces. I am sure one of the staff can 265 remember because it was based on the parking deck for the Orange County Municipal Building downtown. What 266 would be acceptable ratio? 267 268 Michael Birch: My senses given the nature of this development and how different it is both from Settler’s Point and 269 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 270 ratio basis. I think we could discuss a flat number of station. 271 272 Hunter Spitzer: I see and are you intending to provide stations or availability to electrical fleet management 273 particularly in the context of developing the distribution center? 274 275 9
