120 <br /> 606 <br /> 607 Justin Chandler: It's more the construction process. I was speaking to the construction process as a whole. 1 <br /> 608 wasn't trying to inherently say that like steel was inherently eco-friendly. <br /> 609 <br /> 610 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 611 <br /> 612 Statler GiIfillen: You're using basically metal building construction, right? <br /> 613 <br /> 614 Justin Chandler: Correct. <br /> 615 <br /> 616 Statler GiIfillen: Standard framing. <br /> 617 <br /> 618 Justin Chandler: Correct. <br /> 619 <br /> 620 Beth Bronson: And there's no solar plans for the lighting system? <br /> 621 <br /> 622 Justin Chandler: It's basic solar lighting that you can get from any type of supply store. <br /> 623 <br /> 624 Charity Kirk: And your green building materials? That would just be the gravel. <br /> 625 <br /> 626 Justin Chandler: That's part of the erosion control process as well. That's part of the construction process, and <br /> 627 that's, again,what I was pointing to. <br /> 628 <br /> 629 Charity Kirk: Okay. That's landscaping. I would consider that more landscaping than building. <br /> 630 <br /> 631 Justin Chandler: Yes, ma'am. <br /> 632 <br /> 633 Charity Kirk: And how are you a benchmark for sustainable and environmentally conscious storage facilities? <br /> 634 Just the use of pervious pavement. <br /> 635 <br /> 636 Justin Chandler: Generally speaking,when you see a lot of these storage facilities go up,they're vertical storage. <br /> 637 They're multiple level. They include a significant amount more infrastructure compared to these <br /> 638 single level storage units. They use weight-rated I-beams, all sorts of fire suppression systems <br /> 639 that have harmful chemicals in them. Some obviously have various systems in it that are not <br /> 640 great. Basically,what I'm getting at is there is so much more because of multi-level development <br /> 641 with these storage units. There's a lot more material. There's a lot more waste. All of these kits <br /> 642 that I buy,they have no waste. When you go out there on the job site afterwards,you can load up <br /> 643 the trash from the construction in a small 10 by 20,or 8 1/2 by 20 dumpster,for this entire facility. <br /> 644 If you go to somewhere like off of Guess Road, Public Storage just built their unit. You go look at <br /> 645 their dumpsters. They're hauling off five,six,seven, eight loads of trash to go into the landfill. <br /> 646 What I'm doing right now is retaining almost 70 acres of land that I will own in perpetuity with this <br /> 647 and intend to not develop it and keep it completely as it is to promote wildlife. Obviously have low <br /> 648 lighting to not disturb any type of nocturnal animals. I'm not doing anything that would have <br /> 649 significant run off type inferences with this, and I guess that's what I'm pointing to. <br /> 650 <br /> 651 Charity Kirk: And how are you going to serve as an inspiration for other businesses to adopt sustainable <br /> 652 practices? <br /> 653 <br /> 654 Chris Johnston: Just to confirm, I want to make sure that we're not necessarily digging in at anyone's writing style <br /> 655 or anything along those lines. I want to make sure we're focused. <br /> 656 <br /> 657 Charity Kirk: I'm wanting to sort of go towards the,you know, there's non-native plants and invasive plants <br /> 658 even, and there is a hesitation to do much more, to amend the soil,to do sort of sustainability stuff <br /> 659 to be an inspiration of pollinators and rainwater and all of that.And how can we, as a Planning <br /> 660 Board say that we can add to this? That we want certain practices that are being stated as they're <br />
