12 <br /> 331 community and I want to see the community do good. I am not here to just put something that will not serve the <br /> 332 community in it.The reason the property hasn't been sold before is because of the restrictions that have been imposed <br /> 333 on it by the County. Dollar General was the only person that could meet all the requirements to purchase this property if <br /> 334 it's approved. I would like to urge the Board to consider approval. I am an Orange County resident, have been and will <br /> 335 continue to be. I hope that you will consider this request and I will try to answer questions if you have any. <br /> 336 <br /> 337 Whitney Watson- I appreciate that you included the renderings of the lighting, but could you speak further about it being <br /> 338 dark sky compliant? <br /> 339 <br /> 340 Bob Hornik- I do know that the lighting is all downward shielded and is confined to the storefront area. I don't think there <br /> 341 are any free-standing light poles in the parking lot. <br /> 342 <br /> 343 Whitney Watson-My other question has to do with the location of the wells. I read in the packet that a permit has not yet <br /> 344 been applied for. I wondered if you could indicate on the plan, approximately where you are going to have someone start <br /> 345 looking for water. <br /> 346 <br /> 347 Adam Beeman- I think it's on there. I believe it's off to the side on the top left half corner of the building where the 54 <br /> 348 frontage is. <br /> 349 <br /> 350 Brent Purdum-(Indicating a location on the map)That's where we are proposing the well to go. Up there, close to the <br /> 351 corner where the woods are. So it would be behind the building, close to the 54-buffer line. <br /> 352 <br /> 353 Beth Bronson-Can you speak to how many locations were tested before that was the one,they came up with? <br /> 354 <br /> 355 Brent Purdum-We haven't done a well test. <br /> 356 <br /> 357 Beth Bronson-Okay,so no well tests have been done? <br /> 358 <br /> 359 Brent Purdum- No, ma'am,we are just proposing it because we have to meet certain distances. <br /> 360 <br /> 361 Beth Bronson- If there is no well test,there is no alternative means to bring water out to that area, correct? <br /> 362 <br /> 363 Brent Purdum-As far as we know, correct. <br /> 364 <br /> 365 Adam Beeman-Do they do well tests here in Orange County? <br /> 366 <br /> 367 Beth Bronson-You have to test to be able to perc. <br /> 368 <br /> 369 Adam Beeman-Percing is different... <br /> 370 <br /> 371 Brent Purdum-That's the septic system. <br /> 372 <br /> 373 Beth Bronson- I apologize,yes, sorry. <br /> 374 <br /> 375 Brent Purdum-We've done the testing for the septic tank.We do have the perc test. That's going to be between the <br /> 376 parking and the newly landscaped southern border. <br /> 377 <br /> 378 Beth Bronson-So that top left corner that you're speaking to is for the septic? <br /> 379 <br /> 380 Brent Purdum- No,that's for the well. The well is on the north side, septic is on the south side. <br /> 381 <br /> 382 Randy Marshall-We keep talking about the rezoning, and we don't talk about what's going in there, on the other hand, <br /> 383 half the questions are about what's going in there. I'm not even sure what's appropriate to be questioned. <br /> 384 <br />
