38 <br /> 1 Commissioner Bedford said the language could simply be amended to say LED lighting <br /> 2 will be used except for unique situations where it is not possible to do so. <br /> 3 Frank Csapo agreed. <br /> 4 Commissioner Marcoplos said he would like more information on the Cates Creek <br /> 5 natural area. He asked if County environmental staff could provide a summary of the issues. <br /> 6 Frank Csapo said he is unsure what information can be provided, as the project has no <br /> 7 impact on Cates Creek. He said storm water control is in place, along with rain gardens. <br /> 8 Commissioner Marcoplos said he wants to hear from County staff in this issue, not the <br /> 9 Developer. <br /> 10 Michael Harvey said the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation <br /> 11 (DEAPR) staff sent a memorandum to the BOCC. He confirmed that no portion of the property <br /> 12 contains any part of Cates Creek. <br /> 13 Commissioner Greene suggested the following language for the LED lighting: "LED <br /> 14 lighting will be used unless LED lighting is not compatible with the associated use." <br /> 15 Frank Csapo agreed. <br /> 16 Commissioner Greene referred to page 8 section 5, performance standards, and said <br /> 17 she would prefer vehicles not be allowed to park in front of trash and recycling receptacles. <br /> 18 Frank Csapo agreed. He returned to the LED lighting issue, and said he agrees with <br /> 19 Commissioner Greene's wording, but would like to include language for successor technology in <br /> 20 case LED lighting is replaced by something more efficient. <br /> 21 Commissioner Greene agreed. <br /> 22 Commissioner Price said she is concerned about the environmental impact. She said <br /> 23 County staff says there will be no impact, but local environmental agencies say otherwise. She <br /> 24 said she would like those reports to be taken into consideration and a full report be given to the <br /> 25 BOCC. <br /> 26 Frank Csapo said these agencies did not submit any professional reports, but rather just <br /> 27 opinions. He said the Developer hired Kimley Horn who did a full analysis, and found no <br /> 28 environmental concerns. He said there are plenty of professional reports to be reviewed on this <br /> 29 issue. <br /> 30 Commissioner Price said whether the Developer considers these agencies professional <br /> 31 or not, she respects them and the work of the Eno River Association. She asked if County staff <br /> 32 could listen to these agencies, and give a report back to the BOCC. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 35 consider discussing the revised Statement of Consistency and the Ordinance Amending the <br /> 36 Zoning Atlas at the October 20t", 2020 BOCC Virtual Business Meeting. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Roll call ensued. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 VOTE: UNANMIOUS <br /> 41 <br /> 42 7.
