Approved & T23 1152 1153 Jim Parker: That is all together; teachers , staff, students . 1154 1155 Lamar Proctor: So the town said they could only give you 6 thousand . 1156 1157 Patrick Byker: There must be an improved charter. We ' re not entitled to ask until there is a charter approved for the k- & 1158 1159 Lamar Proctor: But, what we are approving is two schools . We have to assume that you are going to get the charters 1160 and that they are going to be fully built out and that you are going to have 1400 students . 1161 1162 Patrick Byker: It could be a private school , for instance . Correct me if I ' m wrong director, in the UDO there is no 1163 distinction between private schools and charter schools or public schools 1164 1165 Cy Stober: So , similar to our discussion about the retail store at White Cross last month , you cannot make a decision 1166 based upon the tenants . So yes , there is no distinction between schools , it' s a school . 1167 1168 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 1169 mentions an endangered species , a proposed endangered species , the tri -colored bat . Your packet said it anticipates it 1170 will go on the endangered species list, prior to construction . So , you ' ll have to deal with that issue , that' s correct, right? 1171 1172 Patrick Byker: Absolutely . As of today, what happens in the future is to be determined . 1173 1174 Lamar Proctor: I just wanted to clarify, because it seems like it' s going to happen . 1175 1176 Patrick Byker: This is something that our team has had to deal with on numerous sites across the Piedmont area of 1177 North Carolina . 1178 1179 Lamar Proctor: It's a minor point, I just wanted to clarify that . I think Mr. Watson asked about the town ' s concern with 1180 insufficient flow . There was also concern about a mixed sewer/septic system . 1181 1182 Jim Parker: The insufficient flow will be fixed with the addition of water tanks if necessary . I don 't really know what the 1183 concern about mixed sewer/septic means . You have many lots across the street that have a combination of public water 1184 and conventional septic systems on their lots so , it is not uncommon to have water service and septic system . I don ' t 1185 know what that comment really means . 1186 1187 Lamar Proctor: Hillsborough would be legally obligated to provide water and sewer and then you would pursue that 1188 because that is your right under North Carolina law . 1189 1190 Jim Parker: I want to make sure that it is understood by the board , if Hillsborough provides water and sewer, the cost of 1191 providing that and all of the water and sewer lines would not be borne by the town . 1192 1193 Charity Kirk : I am concerned about Hillsborough not wanting this project . Have you addressed any of their concerns 1194 since they unanimously said no to the project and since we last met 2 weeks ago? 1195 1196 Patrick Byker: We evaluated how to build the project with well and septic in order to move forward without needing town 1197 utilities which I assume would address their concerns . 1198 1199 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 1200 water it sounds like . So that doesn ' t sound like you have addressed their concerns . . . 1201 1202 Patrick Byker: I don 't mean to speak for the Town of Hillsborough ' s attorney but there is a letter in the packet that 1203 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 1204 septic . . . 1205 1206 Charity Kirk : But that is only if Hillsborough doesn ' t have the water.
