26 Draft <br /> 1 As far as potential conditions, just to tag on to what the plan director had said. If the Board <br /> 2 wants, we'd be happy to have a condition that says, a special use permit is subject to the fire <br /> 3 marshal signing off on the emergency access. And I've confirmed with my folks, and because <br /> 4 of the conservation easements on the property, it may be difficult or not allowed to expand the <br /> 5 paving, but we can certainly expand the shoulder area such that emergency vehicles could <br /> 6 have that additional access if needed. Also, we'd be happy to consent to a condition about <br /> 7 working with planning staff if they think there's additional signage that needs to be done. 1 <br /> 8 know there was a comment about kind of managing flow on what we call Road B. So, we'd <br /> 9 be happy to have a condition to that effect as well. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Leon Meyers: Thank you. Board members, any other questions for applicant or staff? <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Beth Bronson: So, right now there is zero parking spots planned in the sense that you do not plan to define <br /> 14 those as parking spots. You plan to infer those as parking spots. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 David Swanson: We've got them shown as stripped parking spots. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Beth Bronson: Striped parking. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 David Swanson: Just to be clear. It's, like the diagram, I assume you're looking at it with the very- <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Beth Bronson: For the cul-de-sacs I understand. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 David Swanson: And the parallel parking where they're 20-feet, same as you have along Franklin Street in <br /> 25 Chapel Hill. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Beth Bronson: Well, that's what I was thinking is that the angled parking spots, because you have a large <br /> 28 shoulder there, like it would make more sense for them to pull in. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 David Swanson: We couldn't do angle parking without widening the road. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Beth Bronson: Makes sense. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 David Swanson: I mean it's 18 feet wide as it's been pointed out. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Beth Bronson: That's why I'm trying to think of like turning around. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 David Swanson: Well, these can work as T turnarounds. The design of a cul-de-sac was typically done when <br /> 39 it was a neighborhood or for subdivision standards, mostly for a fire truck to make a full turn <br /> 40 around. But this works in the case of a T turnaround. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Beth Bronson: Yeah, and I guess for the emergency services, it being the cul-de-sac, but you're also adding <br /> 43 parking spots in both cul-de-sacs. So, in that sense of putting the condition on the emergency <br /> 44 services, I wouldn't want to,yeah, I'd be concerned that they would change that type of design, <br /> 45 I guess. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 David Swanson: True. I'll just leave it at that. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Beth Bronson: Yeah, that's okay. <br /> 50 <br /> 26 <br />
