716 <br />Beth Bronson: OK so something in like five revisiting this issue, revisiting with the traffic impact analysis might be 717 <br />something that might be proven for preparing opening a lower school? As it .. to the planning director, if there’s a 718 <br />mechanism that you can do that, I am not aware of…As the conditional district, yeah? 719 <br /> 720 <br />Patrick Byker: I’d have to talk about that with the planning director. Though I think we’re certainly willing to evaluate 721 <br />where things are, say if the property moved along, keep it lined up as is stated. We may have increased buses by that 722 <br />time as well, above and beyond is how its projected. Thank you. 723 <br /> 724 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Could you mitigate how the individuals through the audience erase the question about the wells? Yes, 725 <br />the developer, we’ve been talking about if Hillsborough will or will not be providing service. Under state law, I believe, its 726 <br />recommended, you can’t get a boating permit, you can’t reach the environmental districts. You can’t start to build, so 727 <br />whatever you architect designs won’t matter. However, if you put in wells on this site, and three years goes by and all the 728 <br />sudden, half of those … neighbors and all the wells dry up, what protections do they have? 729 <br /> 730 <br />Patrick Byker: That’s a good question to have. It is hypotheticals, but here’s the point, there are certainly time honor case 731 <br />to do so, where if there is something that happens where your use of your property detrimentally affects another one, 732 <br />they have a cause of action in Orange County court. As I said that, I think it’s important to recognize that we are talking 733 <br />about a 90-acre, so my understanding is there would not be, correct me if I’m wrong, 90-acre lots single family homes 734 <br />there without having to pursue this reclaiming order and if those are all with wells that would consume just using 735 <br />presidential averages 35,000 gallons a day from the ---- zone. That’s there without any public hearing. Our usage would 736 <br />be a fraction of that, somewhere between a quarter and a third at most. And so, if you look at these as the concerns, 737 <br />look at what the – would allotted, far greater usage of well water and the gallons per day would be astronomically higher 738 <br />than the proposal that proposed today. 739 <br /> 740 <br />Statler Gilfillen: I want to thank you because I’ve been sitting here trying to listen to what both sides have been saying, 741 <br />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 742 <br />why I ask it. 743 <br /> 744 <br />Patrick Byker: I already answered it, and it’s a time honor principal of real property. 745 <br /> 746 <br />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 747 <br />safe to assume under Orange County subdivision criteria and by the needs of public road dedication roughly a third of 748 <br />the property would be dedicated for open space and right away as a recreation area so that would leave approximately 749 <br />between 50 and 60 acres, about 54 acres, for homes and 1 acre lots. 750 <br /> 751 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. It still would be a tough greater usage if it were a development 752 <br />simply, right? Those two questions kind of interrelate, several people have raised questions and if I were an adjacent 753 <br />neighbor to the sight, and you come in with tasteful diamonds and all the night lighting, that could be a serious service at 754 <br />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 755 <br />live next to it. Cedar ridge road is not enough. Now, there is also a case that people that have talked about the adverse 756 <br />effect to the neighbors but also the wildlife. Somebody this evening raised a question that this may affect endangered 757 <br />animal. Is there any review of the endangered species adjunct? Does this have any affect? 758 <br /> 759 <br />Jim Parker: It’s in your staff report, but there is no impact. So that was addressed in the staff report and my 760 <br />understanding is the baseball and softball is not lit, is that correct? Yes, there is no lighting for baseball and softball, on 761 <br />the plan before this evening. 762 <br /> 763 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Okay so what provisions for the neighbors for the town square are you taking? All lighting would be 764 <br />controlled by the VBO, comprehensive plan. 765 <br /> 766 <br />Patrick Byker: There are standards that obviously this project would follow but I do want to state for the record that a 767 <br />large area of the baseball and softball field will not have any lights. 768 <br /> 769 <br />18
