'I5RAFT <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Ryan Moffitt: Yes. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: Other questions? Condition 6 says excluding exempt special events held on the property, and this is <br /> 5 relative to the limit of 50 overnight guests. Can you describe the kind of special event that would be exempt from that <br /> 6 limitation? <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Ryan Moffitt: There, as I understand the UDO, there is a special event permitting process that must be pursued through <br /> 9 the planning department in order to host events on any property that meet certain criteria, but there are also certain <br /> 10 criteria for events that would be exempt from that process. And that would include events being hosted by a not-for- <br /> 11 profit organization. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Leon Meyers: Okay. Everybody clear on that? <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Beth Bronson: So, if you were to host a wedding with 100 applicants, you'd have to get a special event permit? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Ryan Moffitt: I'll defer to Mr. Stober on that. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Cy Stober: It's a good question. So, the Article 5 of the UDO, which is use standards and use-specific standards allows <br /> 20 for two different types of special events. One is a rural special event, and one is a special event for a non-profit's entity. <br /> 21 The special events for non, that was in the service of non-profits are exempt from all ordinance standards and are still <br /> 22 reviewed by county staff. We notify, as general practice, the sheriff and the emergency services departments and <br /> 23 NCDOT so they can coordinate with those entities, but they are exempt from our development standards. There are <br /> 24 some minimal standards associated with rural special events, but they don't get blanket exemption as the ones from <br /> 25 non-profits organizations do. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Leon Meyers: That's helpful, thank you. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Beth Bronson: So, yes. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Leon Meyers: One other clarification. This is clear on the site plan. But the Condition 10 says, "In addition to the <br /> 34 observance of a 65-foot stream buffer, the property shall observe a voluntary 100-foot stream buffer." That means the <br /> 35 total buffer is 100 feet, not 165 feet, right? <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Ryan Moffitt: That's correct. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Leon Meyers: Okay, thanks. I interrupted. Anybody have other questions on Mr. Moffitt's presentation to this point? <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Jeff Scott: Oh, I'm sorry. I had a question about the parking. So, you've got, you know, you've got 25 regular plus 20 <br /> 42 overflow parking. These are all just numbers that you guys have come up with based on your kind of currently design. <br /> 43 Is that correct? It's not based on any kind of limitation on parking, you know, within the agricultural residential, right? <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Ryan Moffitt: Those are, those parking numbers are informed by the uses that we're proposing, not agricultural <br /> 46 residential. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Jeff Scott: Okay, so there's none. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Ryan Moffitt: Does that answer your question? <br /> 9 <br />
