8 Draft <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Kyle Myers: Green is the existing 150-foot reservoir building setback. Right? <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Lauren Honeycutt: Yes. It's yellowy-green on here, but yes. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Kyle Myers: Okay. So yellowy green. The yellowy green is the existing 150-foot reservoir building setback. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Lauren Honeycutt: Correct. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Kyle Myers: So, all of those red things are in it right now? <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Lauren Honeycutt: In some portion or another. Yes. Every structure that is highlighted red. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Kyle Myers: Thank you for clarifying. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Cy Stober: Mr. Meyers, if you could please speak into the mics when you speak. We record the meeting for <br /> 17 transcription purposes. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Kyle Myers: No problem. Do you want me to say that again? <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Cy Stober: I think we're good. The mics are good, but it just assists the staff in transcription. Thanks. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Kyle Myers: Roger that. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Leon Meyers: No other discussion? <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Jeff Scott: I just had a question about; I think it's on page 30. It's the DAC comments. There's a comment on <br /> 28 here about the erosion control, and it's saying that the applicant will have to reapply for a Buffer <br /> 29 Authorization Certificate. I don't know. Maybe that's a question for staff, is that something that it's <br /> 30 not really our decision, but how does that effect, if we were to approve or not approve? <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Patrick Mallett: Another nuance. So, because there's a buffer on the property and there's a potential to have <br /> 33 impact, we would ask for a Buffer Authorization Certificate. We would evaluate to see if there is <br /> 34 any impact, significant impact or not and then make a judgment as to whether there is no other <br /> 35 practical alternative and there's no mitigation. Mitigation meaning, you're going to need to replant <br /> 36 some trees to offset your disturbance. I think they're just making that statement in writing that <br /> 37 would apply whether this variance, it would apply to all the properties on the lake theoretically. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Jeff Scott: So, I guess that kind of goes hand in hand with, I think it's on page 32, there was a comment from <br /> 40 the NCDEQ about potential flooding in the future, and it sounds like there's some potential wildlife <br /> 41 issues and water supply downstream. I guess, this Board is not interested in the erosion control <br /> 42 per se, and we don't control DEQ, so how does any of that affect the County's review of this? <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Patrick Mallett: So, as you may remember, anything of any significance, we follow a protocol. Variances, <br /> 45 especially from zoning cases, large cases, we send them automatically to the State Clearinghouse, <br /> 46 and all of the agencies have the opportunity to give us a comment or no comment. Unfortunately, <br /> 47 in this case, the author of that section of the clearing house feedback, I'm not sure they really <br /> 48 understood the nature of Lake Orange, and it is a reservoir. It is a flood-controlled structure, and <br /> 49 so the possibility of flooding is possible, but it would be a very, very significant event. Beyond just a <br /> 50 hurricane-level amount of rain because we have a dam. The engineer can release the water down <br /> 8 <br />
