Approved 10.18.2023 <br /> 1 Bobby Tucker: We've pushed for it and, I mean, it was less, it would have been nice to have two just from a traffic flow, <br /> 2 and the fire marshal is just saying if you've got emergency vehicles coming from two directions there wouldn't be any <br /> 3 blockages. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Beth Bronson: It's an interesting bend on 54 right before you get up—to that. So, basically, the main road frontage that <br /> 6 you have is, I mean, it looks like it's on a slight curve, but when you're on it, it's almost more of a slight curve because <br /> 7 you're rising in elevation. So, and that's the reason the DOT says only one? <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Patrick Mallett: Absolutely, and so that item was brought out and, as was stated, the original intent was to have two <br /> 10 access points, but the realization is you can see on a plan in two dimensions, but the reality is those slight nuances. <br /> 11 NCDOT met with the applicants out there physically on the site and evaluated. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Beth Bronson: I assumed that that had. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Patrick Mallett: And the conclusion was this is the safest place to put the entrance. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Patrick Mallett: And only one. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Beth Bronson: Only one. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Leon Meyers: Any other questions for Mr. Tucker? If not, we'll move on to the next part of Mr. Martin's presentation. <br /> 24 Cy? <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Cy Stober: Not a question. Thank you, Mr. Chair, but I did want to identify that we do have one expert staff that is not in <br /> 27 the planning department, the Director of Environmental Health, Victoria Hudson, is also present this evening, and if <br /> 28 there are questions about wastewater or water use for this project, she in the audience and she is sworn in if there are <br /> 29 questions for staff on those matters. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Leon Meyers: Thank you. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Beth Bronson: Thank you. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Nathan Robinson: Beth,just for your information, on that packet we received, they don't know which page it is, and <br /> 36 there's like 200 to go through here, there is an email and there is a section there that was all from the department of <br /> 37 transportation, and that answers your question. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Beth Bronson: I apologize, yeah, I didn't have the packet in front of me. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Nathan Robinson: Yeah, I can't find it. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: Look, when you guys were referring to the packet, I'm thinking about this, and I was like I know this is not <br /> 44 the one. I mean, I have the other packet, yes, confirmed. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Ryan Moffitt: Just to get this on the record and for, for Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker, do you concur with staffs assessment, <br /> 47 as they pointed out in the earlier portion of the record, that the site plan contains and satisfies the requirements of the <br /> 48 use-specific standards for the requested uses, camp and retreat center, that are set forth in Ordinance Sections 5.75 <br /> 49 and 5.18.4? <br /> 50 <br /> 25 <br />
