COUNTY STAFF: The on-line meeting format is being conducted <br />consistent with adopted State rules allowing local governments to process <br />development proposals/applications. <br />While staff understands there are concerns over adjacent property owners <br />being able to participate in the discussion of this project, the County is <br />following established protocols. <br />To that end, additional opportunities are available multiple allowing <br />individuals to participate the pending Planning Board meeting and BOCC <br />public hearing. This includes provision of a call-in numbers so property <br />owners with limited/no internet access can participate in the discussion. <br />T. How many stories are permitted within the 60’ height allowance? <br /> <br />APPLICANT: The submittal is being revised to reflect a height of 35’ with <br />an increased setback for every foot above 35’ up to 60’. Certain elements <br />may exceed this height limitation, such as electrical lines, signs, water <br />towers, telecommunication towers, and utility structures. <br /> <br />COUNTY STAFF: A 60 ft. building height allowance will typically result in <br />5 separate floors. <br /> <br />U. Are uses going to generate significant noise? <br /> <br />APPLICANT: We do not anticipate significant noise being generated on <br />the subject property, especially given the ambient noise from the nearby <br />highways. Of course, we will abide by the county noise ordinance. <br /> <br />COUNTY STAFF: At this time there is no indication of the noise level that <br />could be generated by individual land uses. The County does have, and <br />enforces, noise regulations. Development of, and those uses permitted to <br />operate within, this project will have to abide by applicable standards. <br /> <br />V.
