Lamar Proctor: So, at full build out, it will release at least 14 thousand gallons a day. 1154 1155 Jim Parker: That is all together; teachers, staff, students. 1156 1157 Lamar Proctor: So the town said they could only give you 6 thousand. 1158 1159 Patrick Byker: There must be an improved charter. We’re not entitled to ask until there is a charter approved for the k-8. 1160 1161 Lamar Proctor: But, what we are approving is two schools. We have to assume that you are going to get the charters 1162 and that they are going to be fully built out and that you are going to have 1400 students. 1163 1164 Patrick Byker: It could be a private school, for instance. Correct me if I’m wrong director, in the UDO there is no 1165 distinction between private schools and charter schools or public schools 1166 1167 Cy Stober: So, similar to our discussion about the retail store at White Cross last month, you cannot make a decision 1168 based upon the tenants. So yes, there is no distinction between schools, it’s a school. 1169 1170 Lamar Proctor: For our purposes, a school is a school is a school. I did also want to clarify in the packet, page 267, it 1171 mentions an endangered species, a proposed endangered species, the tri-colored bat. Your packet said it anticipates it 1172 will go on the endangered species list, prior to construction. So, you’ll have to deal with that issue, that’s correct, right? 1173 1174 Patrick Byker: Absolutely. As of today, what happens in the future is to be determined. 1175 1176 Lamar Proctor: I just wanted to clarify, because it seems like it’s going to happen. 1177 1178 Patrick Byker: This is something that our team has had to deal with on numerous sites across the Piedmont area of 1179 North Carolina. 1180 1181 Lamar Proctor: It’s a minor point, I just wanted to clarify that. I think Mr. Watson asked about the town’s concern with 1182 insufficient flow. There was also concern about a mixed sewer/septic system. 1183 1184 Jim Parker: The insufficient flow will be fixed with the addition of water tanks if necessary. I don’t really know what the 1185 concern about mixed sewer/septic means. You have many lots across the street that have a combination of public water 1186 and conventional septic systems on their lots so, it is not uncommon to have water service and septic system. I don’t 1187 know what that comment really means. 1188 1189 Lamar Proctor: Hillsborough would be legally obligated to provide water and sewer and then you would pursue that 1190 because that is your right under North Carolina law. 1191 1192 Jim Parker: I want to make sure that it is understood by the board, if Hillsborough provides water and sewer, the cost of 1193 providing that and all of the water and sewer lines would not be borne by the town. 1194 1195 Charity Kirk: I am concerned about Hillsborough not wanting this project. Have you addressed any of their concerns 1196 since they unanimously said no to the project and since we last met 2 weeks ago? 1197 1198 Patrick Byker: We evaluated how to build the project with well and septic in order to move forward without needing town 1199 utilities which I assume would address their concerns. 1200 1201 Charity Kirk: But you are not telling them that you don’t want their water if you are going to use the state law to get their 1202 water it sounds like. So that doesn’t sound like you have addressed their concerns… 1203 1204 Patrick Byker: I don’t mean to speak for the Town of Hillsborough’s attorney but there is a letter in the packet that 1205 states….so we are operating today on the premise that as of 10:01 April 19, we may well have to proceed using well and 1206 septic… 1207 1208 26
