Approved 5.7.25 <br /> 384 <br /> 385 Meg Millard: But not, not for the larger trees and things. <br /> 386 <br /> 387 Justin Chandler: Yeah,just isn't feasible unless you, I mean you'd have to transplant quite a bit of soil to maintain <br /> 388 that. As you can see the buffers there, I mean they're pretty long. The north, if you're looking at it, <br /> 389 1 guess northwest buffer is almost 900 feet as it is, and then the other sides are about 500, 600 <br /> 390 feet. So, in each of those settings it would be a pretty big economic feat to bring in that much <br /> 391 topsoil in there to address that. <br /> 392 <br /> 393 Meg Millard: Well, the native species should do better in the native soil than other things, but they also had the <br /> 394 question why would you cut down threes when there's open space right next to it.And then they <br /> 395 did have a concern about the lighting and whether or not you had made any accommodations for <br /> 396 the possibility of tri-colored bats being there, and not cutting down trees during their breeding <br /> 397 season. <br /> 398 <br /> 399 Justin Chandler: the lighting is in compliance as far at the UDO goes. I went a step further and am only putting <br /> 400 security lighting downward facing attached to the building, which the UDO actually allows poles <br /> 401 and structures set to a timer. I don't want to cause any light pollution. I only have what's <br /> 402 necessary, and they're going to be on during business hours and off afterwards. So, it will be <br /> 403 completely isolated unless there is movement within the facility per the security guidelines and <br /> 404 what not with the UDO. <br /> 405 <br /> 406 Meg Millard: Okay, thank you. <br /> 407 <br /> 408 Beth Bronson: You said you're a new property owner? Or you were before? <br /> 409 <br /> 410 Justin Chandler: I purchased the property in March of 2021. <br /> 411 <br /> 412 Beth Bronson: Okay, and that's the full 80 acres that happens to include the inactive go-kart track existing? <br /> 413 <br /> 414 Justin Chandler: Yes, ma'am. <br /> 415 <br /> 416 Beth Bronson: And when you're talking about one of the conditions for approval for the Bully Storage, this is the <br /> 417 only Bully's, like this is the only storage facility that exists? Is it like a one off, or is it part of a <br /> 418 franchise? <br /> 419 <br /> 420 Justin Chandler: Yes, it'll be the only, it's not a franchise. <br /> 421 <br /> 422 Beth Bronson: A one off. Okay, and one of the conditions, number 2 for the existing go-kart use and track <br /> 423 contained on the existing 80 acres shall be terminated and no longer operate on site. I wanted to <br /> 424 clarify that it is not actively being used, correct? <br /> 425 <br /> 426 Justin Chandler: Not at this time. <br /> 427 <br /> 428 Beth Bronson: Okay, and so does this condition include that it would be removed or that it just wouldn't be <br /> 429 reactivated? <br /> 430 <br /> 431 Justin Chandler: It will no longer operate. It shall no longer operate on site. My plan is to completely rid all of the <br /> 432 structures related to it, or all of the infrastructure there. As of now, some of the buildings have <br /> 433 actually been removed as it stands. But,yes, in its entirety it will be removed. <br /> 434 <br /> 435 Beth Bronson: You're talking about the track itself. The asphalt will be removed? <br /> 436 <br /> 437 Justin Chandler: Yes. <br /> 438 <br />
