STAFF COMMENT: Provided on Sheet L-2.0 of the site plan submitted as part of the <br />Application Package (Attachment 2). <br />(2)Standards of Evaluation <br />(a)Unless public sewer is proposed to be extended, the adequacy for the method of sewage <br />disposal will be determined by the lot size and soil suitability. Appropriate letters from the <br />Orange County Environmental Health Department, local jurisdictions and/or the State Division of <br />Environmental Management s hall be submitted to indicate preliminary approval. <br />STAFF COMMENT: The application details that the Camp use utilizes a portable toilet and <br />brings in water for campers and staff. The applicant does not intend to modify, expand or <br />install new private systems to support the Camp use. Environmental Health review <br />comments provided as part of Development Advisory Committee Review do not indicate <br />any objections. <br />(b) The landscape plan shall show how the facilities will be screened from the adjacent properties. <br />A minimum 30-foot-wide Type B buffer, as indicated in Section 6.8 shall be observed around the <br />perimeter of the property. <br />STAFF COMMENT: The property exists today as Brumley Forest Nature Preserve, <br />managed by Triangle Land Conservancy. The subject site is mostly wooded throughout, and <br />a considerable portion of the acreage is subject to a conservation easement. The existing <br />vegetation is to be preserved and is considered sufficient for the purpose of meeting this <br />ordinance standard. See site plan and narrative notes in the Application Package <br />(Attachment 2). <br />(c)If private recreational facilities are proposed, the improvements must meet the site improvement <br />requirements in Section 7.11 of this Ordinance. The site plan for recreational facilities shall be <br />reviewed by the Orange County Recreation and Parks Director. <br />STAFF COMMENT: No recreational facilities are proposed as part of the Camp use, as <br />shown on the site plan. <br />(d) Off street parking requirements shall be provided in accordance with Section 6.9 of this <br />Ordinance. <br />STAFF COMMENT: As currently presented, the site plan does not meet the off-street parking <br />requirements detailed in UDO Section 6.9. Specifically, the drive aisle detailed on sheet L-3.0 <br />of the site plan (Attachment 1, Exhibit C) provides for a one-way traffic moving towards the <br />cul-de-sac and does not provide for adequate egress from that cul-de-sac given the one-way <br />nature of the drive aisle. The site plan does contain required parking information in <br />accordance with Section 2.7.3(B). It is important to note that the existing paved road which <br />the Camp use currently uses for vehicular access and parking purposes is not platted as a <br />private right-of-way. As proposed, it is presented as off-street parking with the street being <br />New Hope Church Road. <br />92
