16 Draft <br /> 1 T.C. Morphis: Okay, so Marty, could you tell us what we're looking at here? <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Marty Jorgensen: Sure. As a nonprofit, our funds are an important part of our business decisions, and our proposed <br /> 4 structure is just a pretty simple roof which is simple and yet a big improvement over mega tarp. <br /> 5 So, this there is, you all have diagrams that they can fit in. They're not very big. But having a roof <br /> 6 structure near our drop-off spot would be a significant improvement for our campers' experience <br /> 7 and their safety. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 T.C. Morphis: Yeah. And so, to be clear, the structure that kind of triggered all this, you all sought a building <br /> 10 permit for the installation of a carport structure that is essentially this structure, correct? <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Marty Jorgensen: Correct. Yes. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 T.C. Morphis: Okay. And are you planning on building any other sort of enclosed facilities on the site at this <br /> 15 time? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Marty Jorgensen: At this time, no. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 T.C. Morphis: Okay. And we'll represent to the Board that we're not asking for additional permission through this <br /> 20 special-use permit for future buildings. One thing I've talked about with TLC and with the <br /> 21 Schoolhouse of Wonder is if you ever really wanted to expand operations, which, first of all, as <br /> 22 Taylor mentioned, there are conservation restrictions on the property, so there's some restrictions <br /> 23 there, but they know they would have to come back and get an amended special-use permit. So, <br /> 24 we understand this is limited in nature. Tell me about this structure, and I'll represent to you this is <br /> 25 a photo of a structure that was taken at Shakori Hills. It's not onsite. But we've included this <br /> 26 essentially as if you had that wish list, you might end up with sort of a more elaborate wooden <br /> 27 structure like this. Is that correct? <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Marty Jorgensen: Yes. A more aesthetically pleasing and perhaps more unified space. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 T.C. Morphis: But even something like this would be essentially the same footprint as the carport structure you're <br /> 32 proposing now? <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Marty Jorgensen: Correct. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 T.C. Morphis: Okay. So even if they upgraded in the future, we wouldn't be talking about a more significant land- <br /> 37 use impact, correct? <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Marty Jorgensen: Correct. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 T.C. Morphis: Okay. You can go ahead and have a seat. Thank you. You can go have a seat too. This is <br /> 42 where our presentation differs a little bit from what you all have seen in the application packet. And <br /> 43 I'm just going to kind of lay out the issue, and then we're going to have David Swanson, our <br /> 44 landscape architect, talk about it. And Taylor, if I misstate any of this,just jump in. So, the issue <br /> 45 we had was we originally wanted to show 24 spaces. As I understand it, there is a minimum <br /> 46 requirement of, was it 15, David?Actually, why don't you talk because you're the expert and then <br /> 47 we'll get you sworn in in just a moment. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 David Swanson: I am sworn in. <br /> 50 <br /> 16 <br />
