181 DRAFT 714 look at what the—would allotted,far greater usage of well water and the gallons per day would be astronomically higher 715 than the proposal that proposed today. 716 717 Statler Gilfillen: I want to thank you because I've been sitting here trying to listen to what both sides have been saying, 718 and this is a question I ..from the audience asking, it's a hard question but I believe that it deserves a fair answer-that's 719 why I ask it. 720 721 Patrick Byker: I already answered it, and it's a time honor principal of real property. 722 723 Cy Stober: Just to confirm the existing zone it is our one role,as a ... a one acre lot development as an estimate, it is 724 safe to assume under Orange County subdivision criteria and by the needs of public road dedication roughly a third of 725 the property would be dedicated for open space and right away as a recreation area so that would leave approximately 726 between 50 and 60 acres, about 54 acres,for homes and 1 acre lots. 727 728 Statler Gilfillen:Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. It still would be a tough greater usage if it were a development 729 simply, right?Those two questions kind of interrelate, several people have raised questions and if I were an adjacent 730 neighbor to the sight, and you come in with tasteful diamonds and all the night lighting,that could be a serious service at 731 10 o'clock at night or 11 o'clock at night,with lights.Teenagers going on and I would happen to like that if I happened to 732 live next to it. Cedar ridge road is not enough. Now,there is also a case that people that have talked about the adverse 733 effect to the neighbors but also the wildlife. Somebody this evening raised a question that this may affect endangered 734 animal. Is there any review of the endangered species adjunct? Does this have any affect? 735 736 Jim Parker: It's in your staff report, but there is no impact. So that was addressed in the staff report and my 737 understanding is the baseball and softball is not lit, is that correct?Yes,there is no lighting for baseball and softball, on 738 the plan before this evening. 739 740 Statler Gilfillen: Okay so what provisions for the neighbors for the town square are you taking?All lighting would be 741 controlled by the VBO, comprehensive plan. 742 743 Patrick Byker:There are standards that obviously this project would follow but I do want to state for the record that a 744 large area of the baseball and softball field will not have any lights. 745 746 Statler Gilfillen: One other question and please correct me if I am not permitted here to ask this question,this is 747 neighborhood you're talking about building a high school right there because it's a charter school and it requires a certain 748 lottery, can exemption be made for the neighbors who within a certain walking distance-their children, somebody who 749 has a job who wants to go to this school, they'll have a first priority? 750 751 Patrick Byker: I believe that would conflict with state law, that's not my area of expertise.To my knowledge it's a blind 752 lottery.That's my understanding. 753 754 Statler Gilfillen:A lot of persons that could be something that could be very favorable to many of the neighbors, and 755 might be positive I just don't know either. 756 757 Melissa Poole:As a parent with children in charter school, I mean lotteries are done with deputy sheriffs, it is blind it is 758 anonymous and it is a draw. 759 760 Patrick Byker:That's from Murphy to Manteo. 761 762 Statler Gilfillen:That would affect anybody on our team that their children would want to go to their school,would have to 763 go to the same lottery? 764 765 Patrick Byker:Yes, absolutely,that's right. 766
