Approved 9.7.22 448 449 Cy Stober: Perdita already shared that the maximum is roughly one acre of footprint for the building. That's the floor area 450 ratio exclusive of parking, septic,well, etc. Just under a 5 acre parcel that leaves an abundance of room for those plus 451 stormwater if the disturbed area exceeds one acre of disturbance so it is conceivable that it could be the footprint. That is the 452 maximum buildout potential of our cursory research. 453 454 Perdita Holtz: Whether it's actually feasible on the ground would require a site plan which is not required at this stage. 455 456 Steve Kaufmann: I drove out to the area this weekend to see the parcel,White Cross and 54, and it didn't seem like that big a 457 deal to me. It's less than 5 acres, it's across from a gas station but actually I have memories of the place because I used to 458 teach out of the White Cross School for 2 to 3 years when I rented space there. It's a very old funky space so to compare the 459 footage of that 10,000 sq. ft.to another 10,000 sq.ft.doesn't do it justice because this is like a very old wood structure that is 460 far off the road. It is one story and it is filled with artists and the stores around there are all the same as I remember from 25 461 years ago. It's like funky, kind of cool. It has a character, a personality, so I am moving away from the square footage idea 462 just on the makeup of the energy of that place and uniqueness and I was struck by that. I was curious to hear what everyone 463 had to say tonight and to me that is an important part of my decision process. It's an important element because if I just look at 464 the paperwork, it's less than 5 acres, it's on a corner, it's across the street from a gas station,that doesn't seem like a big deal 465 to me but actually there is more to it than that and I wanted to throw that out. 466 467 Randy Marshall: I'd like to remind people that what we've been asked to do here is to take a piece of property that is double 468 zoned and make the property fully zoned for commercial retail space. That is all that the request is. 469 470 MOTION BY Randy Marshall that the proposal is consistent with the Goals and Objectives of the adopted 2030 Comprehensive 471 Plan that is Land Use Goal 3 and Land Use Goal 5 of the Comprehensive Plan and that the amendment is reasonable and in 472 the public interest because it furthers the goals of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Seconded by David Blankfard. 473 MOTION FAILED 6-4(KIRK,GILFILLEN,POOLE,HUNTER, BAILEY,KAUFMANN 474 475 Melissa Poole: I held my statement until after the vote. I am a huge proponent of commercial development in Orange County. 476 We are 80%dependent on residential taxes and that is not sustainable and it is leading to, unintended I think,to the 477 gentrification of Orange County. We are seeing houses built that are 300,000 to 500,000 dollars now. Everyday people are 478 not going to be able to come and live in our wonderful community. With that said, I voted no, I do agree with Randy that it is 479 consistent but I voted against RTLP for a lack of transparency and I agree with David. This is going to go to the Board of 480 County Commissioners either way, I would strongly suggest there be a little more transparency with the BOCC. 481 482 483 "NOTE:The following item was pulled from the agenda prior to the meeting by request and will be presented at a future 484 Planning Board meeting" 485 AGENDA ITEM 8: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE(UDO)TEXT AMENDMENT—EROSION CONTROL&SEDIMENTATION 486 CONTROL,STORMWATER AND PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE PROVISIONS-TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE 487 BOCC ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE UDO PERTAINING TO PROVISIONS FOR EROSION&SEDIMENTATION 488 CONTROL,STORMWATER AND PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES. 489 PRESENTER: Christopher Sandt, Staff Engineer 490 491 492 AGENDA ITEM 9: ADJOURNMENT 493 Meeting was adjourned at 8:52 p.m. 494 495 496 Adam Beeman, Chair
