38 Commissioner Bedford said the language could simply be amended to say LED lighting 1 will be used except for unique situations where it is not possible to do so. 2 Frank Csapo agreed. 3 Commissioner Marcoplos said he would like more information on the Cates Creek 4 natural area. He asked if County environmental staff could provide a summary of the issues. 5 Frank Csapo said he is unsure what information can be provided, as the project has no 6 impact on Cates Creek. He said storm water control is in place, along with rain gardens. 7 Commissioner Marcoplos said he wants to hear from County staff in this issue, not the 8 Developer. 9 Michael Harvey said the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation 10 (DEAPR) staff sent a memorandum to the BOCC. He confirmed that no portion of the property 11 contains any part of Cates Creek. 12 Commissioner Greene suggested the following language for the LED lighting: “LED 13 lighting will be used unless LED lighting is not compatible with the associated use.” 14 Frank Csapo agreed. 15 Commissioner Greene referred to page 8 section 5, performance standards, and said 16 she would prefer vehicles not be allowed to park in front of trash and recycling receptacles. 17 Frank Csapo agreed. He returned to the LED lighting issue, and said he agrees with 18 Commissioner Greene’s wording, but would like to include language for successor technology in 19 case LED lighting is replaced by something more efficient. 20 Commissioner Greene agreed. 21 Commissioner Price said she is concerned about the environmental impact. She said 22 County staff says there will be no impact, but local environmental agencies say otherwise. She 23 said she would like those reports to be taken into consideration and a full report be given to the 24 BOCC. 25 Frank Csapo said these agencies did not submit any professional reports, but rather just 26 opinions. He said the Developer hired Kimley Horn who did a full analysis, and found no 27 environmental concerns. He said there are plenty of professional reports to be reviewed on this 28 issue. 29 Commissioner Price said whether the Developer considers these agencies professional 30 or not, she respects them and the work of the Eno River Association. She asked if County staff 31 could listen to these agencies, and give a report back to the BOCC. 32 33 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to 34 consider discussing the revised Statement of Consistency and the Ordinance Amending the 35 Zoning Atlas at the October 20th, 2020 BOCC Virtual Business Meeting. 36 37 Roll call ensued. 38 39 VOTE: UNANMIOUS 40 41 7.
