The Board asks its 19 citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful and courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At 20 any time should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the 21 offending person to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, 22 I'll recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. Please turn off your 23 cell phones and electronic devices. 24 25 The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions of local 26 regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County's planning program. Action(s)taken by 27 the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented during a previously scheduled 28 and advertised public hearing on a specific item, like tonight's hearing. As detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UDO 29 the Board chair reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed: `incompetent, irrelevant, 30 immaterial, or unduly repetitious' and therefore fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of Adjustment. 31 While it should be noted there is no time limit on the presentation of evidence, I will ask that the presentation of 32 evidence be consistent with established policies, rules of procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair 33 and equitable hearing for all parties. 34 35 5. CASES: 36 A-2-23—Evidentiary Hearing to review a Special Use Permit request submitted by Lawrence 37 Road Partners, LLC proposing to develop recreational facilities (PIN: 9883-19-4355) on +1-53.39 38 acres of a +I- 84.9 acres located on an unaddressed parcel off Lawrence Road and US 70A, in 39 Eno Township of Orange County 40 41 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair, Members of the Board. Before we formally open the public hearing, in the public interest, I just 42 would like to review the Special Use Permit process administratively and generically for the public, as well as the Board. 43 Special Use Permits are detailed in Section 2.7 of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance. In 2.7, the SUP 44 review is detailed, including requiring the site plan and other appropriate documents and including, in this case, a full 45 traffic impact analysis and environmental assessment and a landscape plan. Other agencies within the county 46 infrastructure are consulted as part of the development advisory committee and they provide input on a plan that can be 47 finalized and approved by the Development Advisory Committee before it ever advances for public view. The applicant 48 bears the responsibility of holding a neighborhood information meeting at a minimum of 45 days prior to the evidentiary 49 hearing. The arrow shows you where we are this evening which is once all of this criteria are met, once the DAC has 50 deemed that the application is conforming or not and can render a recommendation of either a approval or denial,
