DRAFT <br /> 1 understatement because the whole cabins, everything's going to get kind of tucked into the woods. I mean, there's <br /> 2 going to be no mass clearing, really, and so it's kind of be, almost continuous canopy. Like, yeah, we got to take down <br /> 3 and open some areas for the septic drain field but, you know the whole site's kind of going to stay forested, other than <br /> 4 where we're putting structures. You know, we've worked to really reduce and minimize lighting impacts. And back on <br /> 5 the road too is that, and this kind of follows one of the previous questions, where we are using putting fire suppression <br /> 6 sprinklers in these cabins in order to reduce the road width to 12 foot and not have to go and put a giant 12 foot, or 20- <br /> 7 foot road in there for emergency vehicle that may or may not, you know, ever be used. So, 12 foot is still too big for <br /> 8 what the site uses are going to be. I mean, we're not, they're not planning on having continuous, you know, vehicle <br /> 9 traffic to the cabins, but that's what the fire marshal was comfortable with as long as we were to sprinkler the home. So <br /> 10 that's an extra cost at the client for the sake of minimizing impact and preserving trees. And then I guess we would call <br /> 11 out the one variance, the main variance that we are asking or proposing would be that northern buffer where it's hard, <br /> 12 where the existing road is pushing right up against that property line to want to take down mature trees to try and plant <br /> 13 new vegetation in a gravel roadbed, so it's just kind of one of those things. Can we get by? The adjacent property <br /> 14 owners have not objected to that. I believe that is in writing. So other than that, we have really worked hard to abide by <br /> 15 both the regulations in the UDO and certainly outside input from the community. That's really all I've got to say, unless <br /> 16 there's any questions. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Leon Meyers: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Tucker? <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Nathan Robinson: So, I see that you have the 30 feet? Is it 30-foot setback at the north side of the property and then <br /> 21 the road goes through there? What do the, how is that? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Nathan Robinson: I presume you've made some plans for? <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Bobby Tucker: 30 Vegetative buffers. There's a 50-foot structure setback. Which one are you referring to? <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Nathan Robinson: And is there a road there, I mean, you can't have a buffer with on top of a road, right? <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Bobby Tucker: Which, yeah, so in that area, we are encroaching in the 30-foot vegetated buffer. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Nathan Robinson: Right. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Bobby Tucker: And in lieu of that, we're going to increase the density of more of your understory shrub plantings there. <br /> 34 But, also, we'll offset and move the buffer onto the inside of the road as well to kind of meet the intent. And again, 1 <br /> 35 mean, we've spaced these cabins out for privacy, you know, so there will be, you know, it's not like it's going to be <br /> 36 cleared out and there'll be a mass view. I mean, you know, there's going to be vegetation and plantings and allow <br /> 37 things to pop up, because once you start pulling those pines out, you know, you're going to see, poof, it'll be a real <br /> 38 dense. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Nathan Robinson: Right. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Bobby Tucker: Understory for a bit. What y'all looking for the. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Beth Bronson: Are you proposing to build on site or have those cabins delivered? <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Bobby Tucker: Oh, the cabins will be constructed on site. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Beth Bronson: On site. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Bobby Tucker: Yeah, and I think pretty much entirely of wood they're milling there so <br /> 22 <br />
