Bully Self Storage sets a benchmark for sustainable and environmentally conscious storage facilities. By focusing on improved convenience for the community, ground water infiltration through 57 stone aggregate, the utilization of solar applications, and leaving a sustainable footprint, Bully Self Storage exemplifies how businesses can integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations. The facility's commitment to environmental responsibility not only benefits the local community but also serves as an inspiration for other businesses to adopt sustainable practices. Through these efforts, Bully Self Storage continues to make a positive impact on the community and the environment, fostering a greener and more sustainable future for all. During the spring of 2007 our fellow neighbors, county officials as well as the founder of Bully Storage procured the “NC HIGHWAY 57 SPEEDWAY AREA SMALL AREA PLAN TASK FORCE REPORT”. The report is intended to provide development recommendations to existing commercial entities operating within the REDA district. To new entities the report is to act as a tentative guide during the development process. Bully Storage is committed to re-purposing the parcel to create cohesiveness with the surrounding community before, during, and after the construction process. Currently, the 9900 NC 57 parcel contains commercial infrastructure for a Kart Speedway. The Bully Storage development plan will decommission existing Kart Speedway infrastructure in order to incorporate land conservation, which will protect the watershed. Previous concerns discussed during the Task Force meetings regarding the Kart Speedway included noise pollution, chemical contamination in water runoff during events, light pollution, odor pollution, trash and debris from participants and spectators. The latter portion of the report provides recommendations for the Speedway to incorporate. PG 3-4 TASK FORCE REPORT The four planning Principles contained within the report include: 1. Preservation and protection of the rural character and nature of the area, 2. Minimization of negative impacts to natural systems/environmentally sensitive areas, 3. Restrict growth and development so that it complements the rural character and lifestyles, and 4. Maintenance of present service levels for existing infrastructure. As stated in the introduction, Bully Storage is committed to preserving the rural character of the area. On a personal note, I have lived in the REDA district for 20 years. Preserving the lifestyle for our community is at the forefront of this project. Bully Storage will be adhering to the stipulation that 12% or less of land be developed within the parcel, or 9.62 acres of BUAs. The total lot size is 80.52 acres, meaning ~70.86 acres will remain undeveloped in its natural form in perpetuity. The development plan will minimize negative impact on the surrounding area by maintaining timber and pasture land adjacent to the project area. The project 106
