Dolores Bailey: Okay. Thank you. 439 <br /> 440 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. Charity? No? Any other questions for staff or the applicant? 441 <br /> 442 <br />Cy Stober: Mr. Chair? 443 <br /> 444 <br />Lamar Proctor: Yes. 445 <br /> 446 <br />Cy Stober: Just a point of clarification to Ms. Bailey's comment. Burning of waste is prohibited by the county 447 <br />ordinance, not the unified development ordinance, and is enforced by both the Fire Marshall and 448 <br />the sheriff's office, so it's a standard, it's part of the solid waste ordinance. This is handled by solid 449 <br />waste as well as enforced by the sheriff's office and the Fire Marshall, so it's nice to have it in 450 <br />black and white as a condition as well, but it already, there's a backup of the county ordinance. 451 <br /> 452 <br />Dolores Bailey: Thank you. 453 <br /> 454 <br />Lamar Proctor: We do have a sign-in sheet that is sometimes not clear on who wants to speak so, at this time, 455 <br />hearing no further questions, I would like to move into public comment. Peter, did you want to 456 <br />address the board? You don't have to if you don't want to, but you signed in, so we want to give 457 <br />you the opportunity. 458 <br /> 459 <br />Peter Klopfer: Thank you very much. I really have nothing to add to what school’s heads already told you. The 460 <br />plan does not entail any major expansion of the school, so I'm assuming it's not going to pose any 461 <br />kind of threat to our neighbors and, certainly, as an ecologist, I am particularly sensitive to the 462 <br />issues of night pollution, of water flow, and the light, and I'm quite satisfied that the planning by the 463 <br />architects have taken the biological considerations that are professionally important to me, of very 464 <br />carefully consideration, and I don't see any threat to the environment that the proposed changes 465 <br />would present. 466 <br /> 467 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. Then I have Mark Kuhn. Did you want to address the board? 468 <br /> 469 <br />Mark Coon: I'm the outgoing board clerk at Carolina Friends School. Also does volunteer for a number of 470 <br />years and I've been a school parent and am now a school grandparent, so I've seen now four 471 <br />children from my own family go through the school, and in getting to know the school community 472 <br />and finding the very beneficial ways in which the students are schooled, I'm just pleased to see 473 <br />the school moving forward to continue its sustenance into the future, and this is part of that. 474 <br /> 475 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. And then Andrew Goolsby. 476 <br /> 477 <br />Andrew Goolsby: No. 478 <br /> 479 <br />Lamar Proctor: And then the other sign-in participants were the presenters, so I don't think there's any more 480 <br />public comment needed. As chair, I will just say that I think Carolina Friends School has been a 481 <br />longstanding fabulous neighbor and part of the Orange County community in starting up the board 482 <br />discussion on this, and it doesn't appear to me that there's, like Peter said, there's no major 483 <br />substantial changes, it just seems to be a very organic growth of the school and it's, you know, it 484 <br />seems completely consistent with our comprehensive plan and the kind of neighbor and good 485 <br />neighbor that we want to support in Orange County. At this point, I think we should have any 486 <br />discussion, or any statements that any board members want to make, or any discussion about 487 <br />changing conditions or anything else before we move into a motion on the statement of 488 <br />consistency. 489 <br /> 490 <br />Chris Johnston: I don't think I have any reason that we would want to fiddle with things in the periphery here. 491 <br />That's me personally though. 492 <br /> 493 <br />14
