191 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1260 <br /> 1261 Cy Stober: I think that there is correspondence from staff, Tom King, Brian Green, and their stormwater manager in your <br /> 1262 packet.We are required to provide a courtesy review by COCA and we did that.The plans were revised through the plan <br /> 1263 review element.There are some outstanding comments with regard to water and sewer but the stormwater comments <br /> 1264 and many of the planning comments were addressed through that process and that can be found in your packet. So <br /> 1265 these were provided to the Town of Hillsborough.With regard to their comprehensive plan of consistency, staff did not <br /> 1266 mention any consistency concerns. <br /> 1267 <br /> 1268 Charity Kirk: What is the likelihood that this will be annexed into Hillsborough? <br /> 1269 <br /> 1270 Cy Stober:Annexation in North Carolina now is almost exclusively voluntary. So, it would have to be voluntary from the <br /> 1271 property owners.The town would have to consent to that annexation request. <br /> 1272 <br /> 1273 Lamar Proctor: So it will become a non-contiguous part of Hillsborough if they hook up to the water and sewer? <br /> 1274 <br /> 1275 Cy Stober: They would be out of town,they would not be a satellite incorporated area, no it would not be in the town <br /> 1276 limits. It would stay in Orange County and pay out of town rates for water and sewer pending utility expansion. <br /> 1277 <br /> 1278 Lamar Proctor: I'm just confused because I know that there is voluntary annexation agreements, so my experience is <br /> 1279 with noncontiguous parcels and that became part of Mebane and it was voluntary.... <br /> 1280 <br /> 1281 Cy Stober: Hillsborough historically has not had the policy that the city of Mebane has that they require a petition for <br /> 1282 annexation with a utility connection request. Mebane does require that by policy. I believe Hillsborough either just <br /> 1283 recently adopted a similar policy or is in the process of incorporating that into their standards. But they have not had that <br /> 1284 requirement. <br /> 1285 <br /> 1286 Melissa Poole: Is HYAA represented here?Or tennis? Understanding the resident's concerns regarding lighting and <br /> 1287 such and the fact that there are not going to be fences. Generally speaking, how long do you anticipate nightly for the <br /> 1288 lights to be on? <br /> 1289 <br /> 1290 Tennis representative: I don't have an answer to that. I don't know what the UDO statute is, I know that we would be <br /> 1291 compliant with that.Typically tennis court lights in other cities and towns go off at either 9 or 10 pm and I anticipate ours <br /> 1292 to be at a similar time because night time is night time.The intention is to have directional lighting that points down on <br /> 1293 the courts. There are LED lights and if you've ever seen the public courts in Mebane,those lights point directly down on <br /> 1294 the court and they do a really good job of not spreading.They are not pointed out straight ahead so they aren't going to <br /> 1295 be in someone's window,they will be pointed straight down onto the courts directionally.That is something that tennis <br /> 1296 players prefer too by the way. <br /> 1297 <br /> 1298 HYAA representative: Without lights,you end when the sun goes down. In the fall it's about 7:15 and in the spring it's <br /> 1299 around 8 o'clock. Our games all start at 6 o'clock. <br /> 1300 <br /> 1301 Adam Beeman: I am just going to go ahead and assume that you guys will both agree that you are not going to ask <br /> 1302 Hillsborough for water and sewer.And I am going to go ahead and talk about water and sewer. I read this septic report <br /> 1303 from your soil scientist and he's shown where it is suitable and not suitable. Then I take your drawing and overlay it and <br /> 1304 your buildings and pavements sit on top of all your good sites.Anything that you leave with the exception of the tennis <br /> 1305 courts,they are in the bad to not so great septic areas.The last sentence if the soil scientist report was"There appears <br /> 1306 to be ample soils and drain field needs for 1,200 students a day school, however once a preliminary site design is <br /> 1307 completed, additional site and soil investigation should be conducted to determine the system particulars." Like I said, if <br /> 1308 you lay your site plan on top of this,your buildings cover the majority of your good, suitable septic spaces. I just don't <br /> 1309 understand. <br /> 1310 <br /> 1311 Jim Parker: Those sites are conventional septic so there would be innovative septic systems that would be absorptions in <br /> 1312 fields, or sprayed or there's a lot of ways that are done beyond the conventional septic soils. <br /> 1313 <br />
