Draft 3 NC United Methodist Camp & Retreat Ministries, Inc. requesting to modify the approved site 1 plan to allow for a new location for seven (7) RV spaces from one side of the camp to another 2 and consolidate the equestrian facilities into one central area. All other aspects of the original 3 SUP remain in place and the site plan change does not increase the capacity or use of the 4 existing facility. 5 6 The site is located on Orange County PINs 9843-22-1289; 9843-13-7930; 9843-05-5036; and 7 9833-93-5222, and along Camp Chestnut Ridge Road, west side Chestnut Ridge Church Road, 8 and east of Mt. Willing Road and lies within the Cheeks Township. 9 10 Patrick Mallett: Good evening, Board members. I will be walking you through the first case and then Taylor will do 11 the second one. I'm going to just give you a summary and then walk through it because it's fairly 12 simple. What you're looking at with this agenda item involves Camp Chestnut Ridge. It's a camp 13 facility that's been operating since the 1950s, many decades in various forms and iterations. It's 14 actually had several special use permits over the years. About 6 years ago, in early January of 2019, 15 it had its last iteration which was basically a master plan for the vision for the camp retreat. It 16 proposed a lot of things that they were contemplating and are contemplating over the next 20 years. 17 Everything remains the same with the exception of one item which is stipulated in our UDO. If you 18 make a change in the location on your site plan, that site plan has to be re-reviewed, and the 19 proposed change considered by the Board and approve that site plan. They're not proposing any 20 changes of use, any modifications to the original conditions of approval. None of the special use 21 items. Just that one change on the layout sheet for the camp. And that change is to take seven 22 recreational vehicle RV spaces that were shown in one location closer to, what I call the lake, there 23 in the camp and then moving it to the other side, and then they are seeking to demolish several 24 barns, equestrian-like facilities and then consolidate it into one centralized equestrian facility. Like I 25 said, they're not revising any of their changes of the land use, increases in campers, students, hours 26 of operation, capacity, anything of that effect. So, everything else related to the original existing 27 current SUP would remain in effect. This is a site map. It gives you a general orientation to where 28 it is. It's generally southwest of here. This shows the existing properties for the camp proper. It's a 29 collection of different parcels all connecting to Camp Chestnut Ridge Road access to the main 30 campus. And this just shows you it's got AR zoning all around as far as the eye can see. The future 31 land-use map shows resource protection areas and then agricultural residential in the light green. 32 The resource protection areas, those, if you were to overlay stream buffers and other wooded areas, 33 that would match up. The proposed changes aren't within any of the resource protection areas, nor 34 would they be in the new locations. This one's hard to see. I'm just going to go through it, and then 35 I'll come back to a more visible version. But this is this Sheet C5, which is the layout sheet from the 36 McAdams site plan that was approved with the special-use permit. It shows a collection of, I believe, 37 32 separate buildings spread around the campus. Those include the dining hall, various cabins, and 38 other multi-use buildings throughout the camp. The modification, the area in blue, shows the change 39 in the RV location to the new location and the consolidated equestrian facility. This is a fairly more 40 detailed map, but it does show the transfer of their RVs from this location over to here, and then the 41 equestrian facility down in this location. David Cates, the engineer, is working on this project on 42 behalf of the camp. He is also working with them to complete the required permits with Neal Cagle, 43 the contractor, and they'll be doing the physical work. But this land disturbance is slightly over the 44 threshold and requires a storm water analysis. So, in conjunction to this request, they are processing 45 3
