<br />Structures and Other Infrastructure; compliance with UDO Sec. 5.7.5 <br />Currently, Schoolhouse operates with only a small portable shed where equipment is <br />stored. The shed is located at the end of the cul-de-sac that serves as the entrance and <br />exit for Schoolhouse. <br /> <br />Schoolhouse would like to construct a small pavilion type structure near the cul-de-sac to <br />serve as a shelter during inclement weather. The structure would be erected in early 2025 <br />to be prepared for campers during the summer of 2025. The structure is detailed on the <br />attached site plan. Future plans envision a potential pavilion or more permanent structure <br />in that location, along with reactivation of an existing well near the current entrance off <br />New Hope Church Road for improved water access. A larger more permanent pavilion <br />will depend on funding and may never occur if the smaller shelter fulfills the purpose <br />adequately. The attached site plan also shows compliance with the other requirements of <br />UDO Sec. 5.7.5(A)(1)(a). <br /> <br />To address the other requirements of UDO Sec. 5.7.5, TLC states the following (the UDO <br />requirement is reprinted in bold): <br /> <br />Sec. 5.7.5(A)(1)(b). A description of the type of facility planned, the size, capacity, <br />and use of proposed buildings; a signed statement from the owners or operators <br />that there shall be no activity allowed that will have adverse effects on adjacent <br />property. The statement shall also include a complete list of all recreational <br />activities that will take place on the site. <br /> <br />By submitting this application and project narrative, Triangle Land Conservancy hereby <br />states and affirms that no camp operations at the Brumley Forest Nature Preserve will <br />have adverse effects on adjacent property. <br /> <br />Schoolhouse (and any other camp that might operate at Brumley in the future) <br />emphasizes interactions with the natural world. As such, there are no additional <br />recreational facilities planned for Schoolhouse or future camps. Instead, campers engage <br />activities that utilize the forests and fields at Brumley such as, but not limited to, nature <br />hikes, plant and animal identification, age-appropriate conservation projects, and games <br />and activities that do not require additional permanent structures or fixtures. <br /> <br />Sec. 5.7.5(A)(1)(c). A phasing plan, when necessary, indicating the area to be <br />developed in each phase with time periods for construction of each phase. This <br />may be indicated on the site plan. <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br /> <br />63
