111 <br /> 111 or the lack of heartiness of the soil, it is next to impossible to. I mean it grows brooms hedge and <br /> 112 junk pretty good, but anything else is relatively difficult to maintain. <br /> 113 <br /> 114 Meg Millard: But not, not for the larger trees and things. <br /> 115 <br /> 116 Justin Chandler: Yeah,just isn't feasible unless you, I mean you'd have to transplant quite a bit of soil to maintain <br /> 117 that. As you can see the buffers there, I mean they're pretty long. The north, if you're looking at it, <br /> 118 1 guess northwest buffer is almost 900 feet as it is, and then the other sides are about 500, 600 <br /> 119 feet. So, in each of those settings it would be a pretty big economic feat to bring in that much <br /> 120 topsoil in there to address that. <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Meg Millard: Well, the native species should do better in the native soil than other things, but they also had the <br /> 123 question why would you cut down threes when there's open space right next to it.And then they <br /> 124 did have a concern about the lighting and whether or not you had made any accommodations for <br /> 125 the possibility of tri-colored bats being there, and not cutting down trees during their breeding <br /> 126 season. <br /> 127 <br /> 128 Justin Chandler: the lighting is in compliance as far at the LIDO goes. I went a step further and am only putting <br /> 129 security lighting downward facing attached to the building,which the UDO actually allows poles <br /> 130 and structures set to a timer. I don't want to cause any light pollution. I only have what's <br /> 131 necessary,and they're going to be on during business hours and off afterwards. So, it will be <br /> 132 completely isolated unless there is movement within the facility per the security guidelines and <br /> 133 what not with the LIDO. <br /> 134 <br /> 135 Meg Millard: Okay,thank you. <br /> 136 <br /> 137 Beth Bronson: You said you're a new property owner? Or you were before? <br /> 138 <br /> 139 Justin Chandler: I purchased the property in March of 2021. <br /> 140 <br /> 141 Beth Bronson: Okay, and that's the full 80 acres that happens to include the inactive go-kart track existing? <br /> 142 <br /> 143 Justin Chandler: Yes, ma'am. <br /> 144 <br /> 145 Beth Bronson: And when you're talking about one of the conditions for approval for the Bully Storage,this is the <br /> 146 only Bully's, like this is the only storage facility that exists? Is it like a one off,or is it part of a <br /> 147 franchise? <br /> 148 <br /> 149 Justin Chandler: Yes, it'll be the only, it's not a franchise. <br /> 150 <br /> 151 Beth Bronson: A one off. Okay, and one of the conditions, number 2 for the existing go-kart use and track <br /> 152 contained on the existing 80 acres shall be terminated and no longer operate on site. I wanted to <br /> 153 clarify that it is not actively being used, correct? <br /> 154 <br /> 155 Justin Chandler: Not at this time. <br /> 156 <br /> 157 Beth Bronson: Okay, and so does this condition include that it would be removed or that it just wouldn't be <br /> 158 reactivated? <br /> 159 <br /> 160 Justin Chandler: It will no longer operate. It shall no longer operate on site. My plan is to completely rid all of the <br /> 161 structures related to it, or all of the infrastructure there. As of now, some of the buildings have <br /> 162 actually been removed as it stands. But,yes, in its entirety it will be removed. <br /> 163 <br /> 164 Beth Bronson: You're talking about the track itself. The asphalt will be removed? <br /> 165 <br />
