14 Draft <br /> 1 T.C. Morphis: Okay. So, to answer your question, that's really what the envelope is for. Taylor is exactly right. It <br /> 2 deals with parking calculations, but it's also, that's where when we talk about facilities for <br /> 3 Schoolhouse of Wonder, it's within that area, but understand, you have kids that are, obviously <br /> 4 with counselors, throughout the entire Brumley Nature Preserve. Okay, so Marty, why don't you go <br /> 5 ahead and have a seat and Matt, can you just stay right here? <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Matt Rutledge: Sure. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 T.C. Morphis: We're going to try and go through these quickly because I'm sure you all have seen a lot of these <br /> 10 already. I'm not going to make you try and look at all this. This is the overall site plan, but again, I <br /> 11 do want, and Matt if you could talk about this central drawing that's got the top of the lines on it just <br /> 12 to help orient the Board to where the Schoolhouse of Wonder site sits on the total Brumley Nature <br /> 13 Preserve property. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Matt Rutledge: Yeah, so there is an old cul-de-sac that Taylor mentioned coming off New Hope Church Road. It's <br /> 16 in that northwest corner of what we call Brumley South, what is south of Old NC 10, and it sits kind <br /> 17 of up on top of a hill and then slopes down to the creek. And it's within that larger 90-some-acre <br /> 18 parcel. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 T.C. Morphis: Right. And let's see if we can zoom in a little bit on this. So that's just a survey of the entire <br /> 21 Brumley Preserve, correct? Or the 90-acre parcel? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Matt Rutledge: The 90-acre parcel is outlined in red. This is the whole property. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 T.C. Morphis: Got it. And that's just again a close up of that, the diagram that we saw earlier, right? Okay. And <br /> 26 that's just the top of the map. And this actually helps, zoom in a little bit more. Can you talk a little <br /> 27 bit about the street, and I can't remember if it was mentioned earlier or if Taylor mentioned it, but <br /> 28 why we've got these two cul-de-sac bulbs here and kind of how Schoolhouse of Wonder is using <br /> 29 that? <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Matt Rutledge: This was an old neighborhood that was never developed, it, but the roads were put in. They are <br /> 32 private roads, and for us in a nature preserve, it's a little strange, and so we were wondering how <br /> 33 to use that. And Schoolhouse of Wonder gave us the opportunity. It's a perfect place to get off the <br /> 34 public road, have a private protected place for pickup and drop off of the kids, and so that's how <br /> 35 they've been using it. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 T.C. Morphis: Now you called it a private road. Are those roads open to the public? <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Matt Rutledge: No. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 T.C. Morphis: Okay. So how is the public kept out? <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Matt Rutledge: The road is gated, and so when not in use by Schoolhouse, there's a gate with a lock, and the <br /> 44 public is not able to access it. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 T.C. Morphis: So even though you have roads that were built as roads for a subdivision, it functions almost like a <br /> 47 driveway for Schoolhouse of Wonder? <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Matt Rutledge: Correct. <br /> 50 <br /> 14 <br />
