161 DRAFT 438 That condition was added after Peter Sandbeck was allowed the opportunity to comment, so that was in response. 439 440 Charity Kirk-So did he comment on the addition? 441 442 Taylor Perschau- I don't believe that we were able to get those materials back to him for further comment after the memo 443 was provided. 444 445 Statler Gilfillen-What you've described there, I don't know that that's compatible with what he's described, could be the 446 issue here. I just want to raise the question tonight. 447 448 Cy Stober-On that letter,which is on page 205...on page 206,the first paragraph, Mr. Sandbeck states"As a mitigation 449 strategy we recommend that the design treatment for the front elevation as shown on the sheet A2, be continued around 450 the corner, and applied also to the north elevation. This should consist of the same treatment of cement fiber, lap siding, 451 trim, crown,frieze, simulated windows. This modification to the building design will provide a significant visual 452 improvement to the elevation facing NC 54 and the historic school building." I believe that condition was directly in 453 response and almost a pull quote from Mr. Sandbeck's language. 454 455 Bob Hornik-After seeing that,we did extend the fagade along the north side of the building in direct response to Mr. 456 Sandbeck's comment. 457 458 Charity Kirk-Could you touch on the size of the other retail establishments and the sizes of the parking lots in the area 459 and how this store compares to the sizes of the others? 460 461 Bob Hornik- I'm not sure about the size of the parking lots, I know that across Hwy 54, 1 think the Artisan's Building that 462 we were just talking about is 8,000 square feet give or take. There's the other building that's almost directly across Hwy 463 54 from this property where you have the pole barn building,which is significantly less aesthetically pleasing to the 464 historic school than our site would be but that pole barn is about 7,700 square feet,the building itself. 465 466 Charity Kirk- Is that a retail establishment? 467 468 Bob Hornik- It's just what's across the street, I didn't know you were talking about just retail establishments. 469 470 Charity Kirk- I was asking about retail establishments. 471 472 Bob Hornik- I know the gas station across White Cross Road is, I want to say, 1,500 square feet roughly. I looked at all 473 those this afternoon and the Bravo Market is about double that, I think. It's 2,500 or something like that. 474 475 Charity Kirk-So a 10,000 square feet retail building would match some other buildings in the area but not necessarily 476 other retail stores? 477 478 Bob Hornik- I think that's an accurate statement,yes. 479 480 Beth Bronson- I have a question for the applicant. Is anyone here from Kimley Horn? 481 482 Bob Hornik-The traffic engineer?There's nobody here from there tonight. 483 484 Beth Bronson- Is anybody here to speak to the traffic impact analysis that was performed on that intersection? 485 486 Bob Hornik- I'll do the best I can with it, I've reviewed it. 487 488 Beth Bronson-My question is about the traffic impact analysis that was performed on that intersection, specifically for the 489 conditional zoning application. With that conditional zoning application,they performed a traffic impact analysis that 490 observed both the intersection of Hwy 54 going both east and west, and then White Cross coming north and turning east 491 or west. From White Cross,that's the right towards Carrboro or the left towards Graham and Alamance County.White 492 Cross is considered a minor road, it's rural, however, there are few roads that come off of the Greensboro highway to
