Orange County NC Website
12 <br /> 304 County is left out of that process. Local government is left out of that process via the <br /> 305 federal regulations, but it's a piece of information for follow up to verify that the <br /> 306 development is doing what it says it was going to do, and so that's another mechanism of <br /> 307 making sure that it happens. <br /> 308 <br /> 309 Adam Beeman: Thank you. <br /> 310 <br /> 311 Beth Bronson: The only other condition I would discuss is basically you were explaining about the first <br /> 312 responder, you referred to the Goldmine Loop entrance as an emergency vehicle only <br /> 313 entrance. <br /> 314 <br /> 315 Scott Radway: Yes. <br /> 316 <br /> 317 Beth Bronson: And is that the original intention and is that an okay condition for the approval? <br /> 318 <br /> 319 Scott Radway: I would say the original intention when we did the first concept, no it wasn't based on <br /> 320 where dwelling units were in initial concepts and as they evolved we reached the point <br /> 321 where it became apparent that most of our development was going to go out to, and the <br /> 322 application you have with the location of dwelling units, neighbors across the street on <br /> 323 Goldmine Road, Mr. Fox and his family and their neighbors, when we met with them two <br /> 324 times at least, discussed the issue of traffic coming out and being on that road, and so we <br /> 325 did explore what mechanism is there for doing an emergency services access entrance <br /> 326 only, and so again, back to talking to emergency services and go through all of the other <br /> 327 pieces that have to go through there, and as a County, you already have standards for the <br /> 328 kind of gated emergency vehicle access that could be used, and so there is both the <br /> 329 standard and a model in many places already in the county for that kind of gate piece to <br /> 330 occur. We have thought about where it might be, along that entrance road, how it would <br /> 331 make possible for somebody who makes a mistake to get into the site and turn around <br /> 332 safely, so the gate might not be right at the edge of the property. It might be internal to <br /> 333 the property some distance, but the goal and the effect would be to keep all of the <br /> 334 Fiddlehead Corner traffic going out onto Morrow Mill Road. Back to your back and forth <br /> 335 and the discussion among yourselves and with the community, is if you think that's <br /> 336 inadvisable with the issues around the neighborhood, I'd suggest that you put that within <br /> 337 your recommendations. <br /> 338 <br /> 339 Beth Bronson: Thank you very much for providing those responses and clarification. <br /> 340 <br /> 341 Adam Beeman: So, we're going to head to public comment. There's a time of 3 minutes. We have one <br /> 342 person that was granted 12 minutes to speak. She will speak first. I'm going to call three <br /> 343 names. If you guys just want to come up, stand in the line and we can move through this <br /> 344 because if everybody here speaks we have 3 hours of public comment. I need to ask that <br /> 345 if it's redundant and repetitive, please just say I agree with so and so and we can kind of <br /> 346 get through this. I'm not trying to strip you from your time, but to hear you say it over and <br /> 347 over again it's going to be a long night. <br /> 348 <br /> 349 Charity Kirk: Should they clarify the topic they're supposed to be speaking about. <br /> 350 <br /> 351 Adam Beeman: We're just going to let them have their 3 minutes. <br /> 352 <br /> 353 Charity Kirk: But it's 3 minutes per item. <br />
