materials, including development advisory committee review. That development advisory committee does include 1 planning, inspections, Fire Marshall, environmental health, NCDOT and likewise, other coordinating review agencies. 2 After the staff review, the items moved for a neighborhood information meeting as required by the UDO. This is a 3 meeting hosted by the applicant for area residents to be informed of the project and have the opportunity to be in 4 conversation with the applicant, and finally, tonight, we have arrived at the evidentiary hearing at which you all will make 5 a determination with findings of fact on the cases. Just simply to acknowledge, I'm not going to read through all of this 6 but as you've acknowledged Chair Meyers, there is both North Carolina State governing law and Orange County 7 Unified Development Ordinance standards that determine the process, the review process, and the standards upon 8 which the cases are to be reviewed and decided upon. Tonight, you all will be receiving evidence entered into the 9 record by staff and applicants and any other parties with legal standing. You will hear the testimony of those parties 10 noted. You will review evidence and all provided testimony, and finally, you'll move to deliberate and make a 11 determination whether that's approval or denial of the request. Important to acknowledge is the consideration of 12 standing as this is run as a quasi-judicial meeting. Anyone presenting to the Board must establish standing. The 13 following are ways in which someone might determine establish their standing. One would be a person with legal 14 interest in the subject property, the applicant themselves, the city or county governing the property. In this case, is of 15 course Orange County. Or it could be someone who will suffer special damages as a result of the decision of tonight's 16 meeting, and finally it would be an association organized to promote the interest of a particular area so long as at least 17 one member would have standing as an individual and the association was not created in response to the development 18 at issue. As you work through the proceedings tonight, anyone presenting to you must establish their legal standing. 19 They can then enter evidence into the record. You will first be hearing from staff on the materials reviewed and staff 20 testimony as to our analysis. Then we can move to hearing testimony from persons with legal standing and then the 21 Board will have opportunity for questions to anyone that presented or deliberation among yourselves and then finally, 22 again, it's that determination on the findings of fact. So with that, if you don't have any questions on process, I will hand 23 it over to Ashley Moncado for the first case. 24 25 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair, two items on is the need to swear in anyone who tends to speak on the matter. The other is 26 Ms. Bronson, the regular Board member is here now, so if Mr. Beeman, the alternate, at your pleasure wants to step 27 down, just want to offer the opportunity before we begin the hearing. 28 29 Leon Meyers: All right let's take a quick break here while Beth gets set up. Thank you, Adam for being here. 30 31 Adam Beeman: No problem. 32 33 Leon Meyers: Always. Anytime, I will ask anybody who intends to speak on the first Case A124, the cemetery matter, 34 to come forward to me to be sworn. 35 36 SWEARING OF THE TESTIMONY 37 38 Lauren Coffey: You swear and to order comes the testimony you're about to give is truth, the whole truth and nothing 39 but the truth to the best of your knowledge? 40 41 Applicants: I do. 42 43 Staff: I do. 44 45 Leon Meyers: Thank you folks. 46 47 Ashley Moncado: Good evening. Before we start, I just wanted to bring something to your attention really 48 quickly. There was arevised site plan sheets that were provided from the applicant just a couple days ago, and I 49 believe it's Sheet 3.1 and 8.1 and those have been placed at your seats for you this evening. As we go to tonight's 50 3
