<br /> APPROVED WITH AMENDMENT 2.7.24
<br /> 796
<br /> 797 David Stancil: Yeah. A lot of it is going to go through Sweet Gum and Pine, that kind of succession
<br /> 798 forest that we see, a lot of that area is former farm fields that is now in succession and has Sweet Gum and
<br /> 799 Pine. So, it avoids the heavier, nicer hardwoods that are further to the west.
<br /> 800
<br /> 801 Cy Stober: Just because I feel that it's relevant to this point, any plans that the County would wish to
<br /> 802 do on that adjacent property would have to be reviewed by the Planning Department, conform with our Unified
<br /> 803 Development Ordinance, and be reviewed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a driveway
<br /> 804 permit to ensure safe ingress, egress. So, all of those details would be determined with submittal of a site plan
<br /> 805 and review by both our staff and state staff at the DOT. So, I just want to remind you all of that. We don't have
<br /> 806 any plans in hand today. We can't comment upon any of that, but when that day hopefully comes, we would
<br /> 807 be able to review that. But, again, we don't have anything in hand to review.
<br /> 808
<br /> 809 Statler GiIfillen: But this is something based on tonight, that is potential in the future, maybe, soccer fields
<br /> 810 are not there. Now, are we asking that he be involved in helping to finance the change of road later on and if
<br /> 811 maybe, and how do you handle that when you write a proposal?
<br /> 812
<br /> 813 Cy Stober: I believe there's reference to that in the Treeist letter, but we don't have a resolution on
<br /> 814 cost share for road provision as detailed in the condition offer by the Treeist this evening. So, as I stated
<br /> 815 before, negotiations are ongoing between the County and the applicant. That certainly can be something you
<br /> 816 consider in your vote.
<br /> 817
<br /> 818 Statler GiIfillen: So we can put in something to the effect that we could approve or disapprove this, or if we
<br /> 819 approve it, pending your organization and him reaching a final agreement.
<br /> 820
<br /> 821 Cy Stober: You may if it's reasonable and tied to the land use. I want to remind you that the
<br /> 822 Commissioners under state law do have powers regarding the public interest and reasonableness that the
<br /> 823 Planning Board does not. So, I want to make sure you're focused on the land use question. So, you may want
<br /> 824 to make comment on that, but please stay focused on the land use.
<br /> 825
<br /> 826 Adam Beeman: So, day in a life, you're sending out a dump truck and a chipper, or just a dump truck?
<br /> 827
<br /> 828 Craig Nishimoto: Oh, so the way the typical crews operate, the standard crew would have three people.
<br /> 829 One would drive a chip truck with a chipper behind it, one would drive a pickup truck towing a mini skid steer,
<br /> 830 and then if needed, depending on the job, there might be a dump truck going with them, a small dump truck.
<br /> 831
<br /> 832 Adam Beeman: So, you're chipping the debris, like small branches and debris, on site and bringing home
<br /> 833 large limbs and tree trunks. Is that what I'm understanding?
<br /> 834
<br /> 835 Craig Nishimoto: Almost all limbs get chipped because the chippers nowadays, they'll take big pieces. But
<br /> 836 when it's a big, ugly stump or something like that, it goes in the back of a truck.
<br /> 837
<br /> 838 Adam Beeman: But you're bringing the small stuff up in the neighborhood, or that's coming back to your
<br /> 839 business?
<br /> 840
<br /> 841 Craig Nishimoto: So, I described how we're working now. How we would like to work and what we're
<br /> 842 working on even now is getting rid of that pickup truck so it's only two vehicles going out per crew. You've
<br /> 843 probably seen these trash grapple trucks that they go by and pick up limbs for the Town of Chapel Hill like
<br /> 844 Carrboro. We would like to invest in those kind of machines. They would be rear mounted, but a similar size
<br /> 845 because we still have to get in to these communities. They would be tandem axle in the back, so if we load it
