102 From: Corey Liles To: Cy Stober;Taylor Perschau;Ashley E.Moncado;Patrick R.Mallett;Perdita Holtz Cc: Bdtany Waddell Subject: [EXTERNAL MAILI]RE:Rural Buffer Rezoning Application Notification Date: Monday,October 9,2023 11:02:32 AM Hi Cy and team, Thank you for the opportunity to look over the rezoning application for Treeist.Our Current Development team came up with a few comments,which I've listed below.We do not have any significant concerns with the project moving forward—it seems like an appropriate development for the site and compatible with surrounding land uses.But we did want to note a few things that came to mind based on the proximity of the site to Chapel Hill's jurisdiction.Happy to talk through anything further if it's helpful. 1. Truck Traffic a. Improvements to the access road should minimize the deposit of dirt and grit onto Millhouse Rd.We recommend the access road be paved, at least on the approach to Millhouse Rd,to avoid trucks tracking too much debris out of the site b. We are interested in knowing more about the expected times for peak truck operations,given the proximity of the site to Town facilities.Is it possible that the times when many trucks will be entering and exiting the site will overlap with high-traffic times for Chapel Hill Transit or Chapel Hill Public Works?What can be done to minimize conflicts? 2. Stream Impacts a. Design and construction techniques for the road crossing of the stream should minimize disruption to the stream buffer and stream channel while adequately supporting truck weight.Paving the road may be advisable here as well to minimize dirt and debris going into the stream b. We recommend locating the dumpster farther from the stream buffer,given what appears to be a fairly flexible site layout.If relocation isn't possible,include proper measures to prevent pollutant discharge into the stream c. Same considerations for fuel tanks.Recommend relocation farther from the stream and/or appropriate measures to minimize the risks of spills 3. Public-Facing Activities a. The narrative describes on-site instruction and similar activities being offered.The nature of facilities proposed on-site,however,suggests possible safety concerns.We wondered if it was possible for the business to partner with Orange County to host these activities on the County-owned future park site,rather than on the subject property Thanks, Corey 10 Corey Liles,Planning Manager Planning Department I Town of Chapel Hill 405 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. I Chapel Hill NC 27514 direct:919-969-5008 1 cell:919-949-4066 cliles(a)townofchapelhill ora Planning main:919-968-2728 1 planning(a)townofchapelhill.org From:Britany Waddell<bwaddell(@townofchaoelhill.org> Sent:Monday,September 18,2023 1:07 PM To:Corey Liles<cliles(@townofchapelhill.org> Subject:FW:Rural Buffer Rezoning Application Notification FYI Britany J.Waddell,AICP,CZO Director of Planning From:Cy Stober<cstoberPorangecountync.gov> Sent:Friday,September 15,2023 5:17 PM To:Patricia McGuire(pmcguire(@ci.carrboro.nc.us)<pmcguire(@ci.carrboro.nc.us>;Martin Roupe<mroupepcarrboronc.gov> Cc:Judy Johnson;Taylor Perschau<toerschau(@orangecount ny c.gov>;amoncado<amoncado(@orangecount)znc.gov>; Patrick R.Mallett<pmallett(cDorangecountync.gov>;Perdita Holtz<pholtz(@orangecountync.gov>;Britany Waddell<bwaddell(@townofchapelhill.org> Subject:RE:Rural Buffer Rezoning Application Notification I-ernal email:Don't click links or attachments from unknown senders.To check or report click the Phish Alert Button Tish&Marty, My former email did not make it through your filter due to the attachment size.I am happy to provide with you access to all application materials,including the full plan set,if you like.In the meantime,please see the attached materials.
