Approved 6.5.24 1248 Cy Stober: Yeah, we're not permitted to begin calculating impervious cover thresholds for anything but 1249 the net new development. So, for example, if you're in the Upper Eno and you have a 6 percent or 12 percent 1250 impervious threshold and you already have an acre of development, we have to allow that acre of development 1251 and then begin counting the number of square feet of impervious. 1252 1253 Lamar Proctor: That's just exempted? 1254 1255 Cy Stober: Yes. 1256 1257 Adam Beeman: When you say that the DOT roads don't require to have the maintenance, what happens to 1258 subdivisions that have private roads? They have to meet the stormwater requirements though? 1259 1260 Cy Stober: They do. So, municipal roads and DOT roads are included, but privately owned and 1261 maintained roads are not addressed in the legislation. 1262 1263 Statler Gilfillen: When, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local jurisdictions have the right to exceed 1264 the state standards. 1265 1266 Adam Beeman: We don't. 1267 1268 Statler Gilfillen: We don't here, do we? 1269 1270 Cy Stober: That's correct. 1271 1272 Mr. Stober continued to overview the Regulatory Reform text amendments regarding density thresholds. 1273 1274 Delores Bailey: So, let's just say that Efland Ruritan Club that was here before.... And with all that land 1275 they've got... so would they meet these five, right now, I'm just trying to visualize this. 1276 1277 Cy Stober: We could not apply the water supply watershed density rule.Yes, so if they came in, if their 1278 GC4 is approved,well, even if it's not, because they actually have a non-residential use of the property, so this is 1279 the exception to the rule, so if they came in and they said, "we want to do a Residential Conditional Zoning 1280 Application, and we want to put 50 units on this land, we could not say, "the water supply water shed rules won't 1281 let you."We'd probably figure out another way to regulate that, but we can't use the water supply watershed rules 1282 to regulate density. There's other tools in the box though, especially the Conditional Zoning approach, where 1283 you have a legislative negotiation between the County and the applicant about what's appropriate. 1284 1285 Cy Stober: So yeah, I just wanted to draw your attention to these highlights and then this is an 1286 additional amendment that's here just for your information, is that you can modify the impervious surface ratio 1287 using that 5-part test. So those are all the amendments before you. With the exception of reassigning UDO 1288 conformance when issuing a Certificate of Occupancy, they all align with statute, and they're presented tonight 1289 for your consideration and a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. 1290 1291 Chris Johnston: So just to confirm though, all the changes that were just presented were based on state 1292 changes and there's nothing that was put in there, as I understand, nothing that was put in there based on 1293 County requirements or anything along those lines. This is all from on high and we're just updating. 1294 1295 Cy Stober: One exception to that was the— 1296
