9 <br /> Draft <br /> 1 Nathan Robinson: Patrick, I see that there's a road, are we concerned about the road? Is the proposed location of a <br /> 2 traffic barrier is it related to us or are we concerned about anything other than 6 ft.? <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Pat Mallett: I think that is something that Reliant is working through for <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Overlapping conversations <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Leon Meyers: I believe that traffic barriers need to protect the green field area so you can't drive onto the green field. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Pat Mallett: And crush the lines. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Beverly Stokes: It's a little fence, you can just stay off of it and not drive across it. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Pat Mallett: That's an Environmental Health thing. In addition to this, there are other layers that have to be dealt with <br /> 15 building permits, demolition permit for the existing house, and then completing the process with the finalization of the <br /> 16 rework for the well and septic. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Beth Bronson: It's a very small area to work with. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Leon Meyers: Before this comes back to the Board for a decision and the steps, do you have anything more or is there <br /> 21 anything you'd like to tell the Board? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Beverly Stokes: I don't think I have anything else that is pertinent right now. What they are asking for in order for the <br /> 24 builders to be in compliance is that you allow that 8 '/2 feet of space and it's wooded area and nobody is using that <br /> 25 particular piece of property. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Leon Meyers: I'm going to say a little bit out of school here that I was in home building business, I would encourage <br /> 28 your builder to be very careful about where he wants the house because there is little space to spare. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Beverly Stokes: They do understand that. The builders have been very good about checking things out walking the <br /> 31 property and having it surveyed. I've had the property surveyed 3 times myself and they've had it again I think twice. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Leon Meyers: That's great. Before we close the public hearing, are there any other questions for Patrick or Ms. <br /> 34 Stokes? <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Nathan Robinson: I just want to clarify the neighbors have not submitted any opposition to this request, I want to make <br /> 37 sure. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Pat Mallett: There have be inquiries but not in opposition or in favor just inquiries about what the nature of the request <br /> 40 is and that is pretty common. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Leon Meyers: If you would like to testify could you come forward and be sworn. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Eric Thompson was sworn in <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Eric Thompson: I live in Mebane but the property there is on the backside of Mrs. Stoke's house, my family owns. I just <br /> 47 want to ask a question for my clarity. Approving this variance, how does that affect the property, does it subtract from <br /> 48 our property or I'm wondering exactly if it's approved how it affects my property. <br /> 49 <br /> 7 <br />
