<br /> 1016 buildings that are six persons each as a maximum. It has open space and recreation and if you look at the plans that
<br /> 1017 have been provided whether they're small scale or large scale, you can see some of the detailed information. Pod
<br /> 1018 No. 2 is about an acre to an acre and a quarter in size and that's where the wastewater treatment would be, but it's
<br /> 1019 also where solid waste and recycling collection would be and it's also where we would use to maintain maintenance
<br /> 1020 equipment, maintenance vehicles, things like that. Pod 3, 11 acres,this would be the area that would be the primary
<br /> 1021 area for the wastewater distribution, that's subsurface, and it would also include a repair area and that is for the full
<br /> 1022 complement of the 150 or so dwellings, plus the community buildings that are there. Pod 4 is 7 acres and Pods 5 is 6
<br /> 1023 acres, they are proposed to be retained in their existing treed character. Pod 3 would retain most of its tree character
<br /> 1024 even though the drip system can wind through the trees and that's part of the elements of what's required to be
<br /> 1025 submitted. There's a hierarchy of roads that might not have been so easy to see in the lesser plans. These are all to
<br /> 1026 be built to NCDOT constructions standards. There's loop roads, they've been reviewed for emergency vehicle
<br /> 1027 access, FedEx, UPS and all of the other things that we now get delivered at home on a much more regular basis.
<br /> 1028 Tree preservation and landscape plan. It's not really possible to see what's on here at this scale but in the large
<br /> 1029 scale drawings we have, it includes information,the ordinances require street trees,yard buffer trees, parking lot
<br /> 1030 trees, parking lot shrubs and then in the perimeter buffer which is a 100-foot buffer or 75-foot buffer that goes around
<br /> 1031 the complete site, there is a requirement for how many trees of what type and what size are in those buffers. We're
<br /> 1032 going to retain these natural buffers and augment them as needed in order to meet those requirements.
<br /> 1033
<br /> 1034 Dolores Bailey: Mr. Chair, can we do a time check?
<br /> 1035
<br /> 1036 Lamar Proctor: I have them until 8:50.
<br /> 1037
<br /> 1038 Scott Radway: 8:50? Okay, I'll use one more minute then. This shows you essentially what is going to be
<br /> 1039 green on the site when we're completed, the perimeter buffer,the stream buffers,the treed areas,within the
<br /> 1040 development area which has the residential development,there's a lot of area that will not become impervious, in
<br /> 1041 fact,the site right now as we have it designed and laid out and measured it as we can at this level of detail,we're
<br /> 1042 about 19 percent for the entire site. My 1 minute's up,thank you.
<br /> 1043
<br /> 1044 Edwin Cox: You've heard from Mr.Altieri and Mr. Stober about what changes are needed in detail, so I'll
<br /> 1045 just summarize them here for you to look at a moment. Future Land Use Map amendment to classify our entire
<br /> 1046 parcel as a rural neighborhood activity node,comprehensive plan amendment to link MPD-CD and RNAN. The
<br /> 1047 zoning atlas amendment to rezone the parcel to MPD-CD and the UDO text amendment to put in some text where
<br /> 1048 it's required. I thought it was important to emphasize that you can't just apply for these changes to the
<br /> 1049 comprehensive plan and the Future Land Use Map and say, it's because I want it, it requires justification in terms of
<br /> 1050 the objectives of Orange County as defined in the comprehensive plan, so our justification is that if the changes are
<br /> 1051 approved the success of our project beneficially addresses a number of objectives outlined in the master aging plan.
<br /> 1052 And these specifically are housing Goal three, choices, quality and affordability of housing. We will have houses,
<br /> 1053 duplexes and condos,so those are our choices. Universal design that will allow people of all abilities to use any of
<br /> 1054 the residential areas and it'll be high quality construction. Social interaction, Goal 1;there will be buildings and
<br /> 1055 spaces for that purpose,that will be our community center,our walking trails, community garden. There will be
<br /> 1056 mobility options. We will have short distances from residences so that wheelchairs and mobility devices such as
<br /> 1057 scooters can get to the places they need to go. There will be participation in engagement through activities led by
<br /> 1058 the creative community, health and wellbeing resources,we have a continuum of care with care teams that are being
<br /> 1059 planned and a fitness center and there will be communication and information to meet Goal 8, a high speed Internet
<br /> 1060 connectivity and volunteer engagement. So Fiddlehead Corner will help fill the gap in support that is expected by the
<br /> 1061 tsunami of new aging adults in Orange County over the next few years and I did also want to mention sustainability.
<br /> 1062 Environmental sustainability is a high priority among our members and we, many of us have been engaged in local
<br /> 1063 and state sustainability efforts,the conservation cluster master plan design will preserve two-thirds of our land in
<br /> 1064 open space. We will have solar energy to generate electricity and energy efficiency in building design and Kevin
<br /> 1065 didn't get to tell you about our reclaimed water, but we're going to have the ability from this advanced secondary
<br /> 1066 treatment system to use the water for things like toilet flushing and therefore, save a lot of clean water that we
