Approved 7.10.24
<br />buildings that are six persons each as a maximum. It has open space and recreation and if you look at the plans that 1016
<br />have been provided whether they're small scale or large scale, you can see some of the detailed information. Pod 1017
<br />No. 2 is about an acre to an acre and a quarter in size and that's where the wastewater treatment would be, but it's 1018
<br />also where solid waste and recycling collection would be and it's also where we would use to maintain maintenance 1019
<br />equipment, maintenance vehicles, things like that. Pod 3, 11 acres, this would be the area that would be the primary 1020
<br />area for the wastewater distribution, that's subsurface, and it would also include a repair area and that is for the full 1021
<br />complement of the 150 or so dwellings, plus the community buildings that are there. Pod 4 is 7 acres and Pods 5 is 6 1022
<br />acres, they are proposed to be retained in their existing treed character. Pod 3 would retain most of its tree character 1023
<br />even though the drip system can wind through the trees and that's part of the elements of what's required to be 1024
<br />submitted. There's a hierarchy of roads that might not have been so easy to see in the lesser plans. These are all to 1025
<br />be built to NCDOT constructions standards. There's loop roads, they've been reviewed for emergency vehicle 1026
<br />access, FedEx, UPS and all of the other things that we now get delivered at home on a much more regular basis. 1027
<br />Tree preservation and landscape plan. It's not really possible to see what's on here at this scale but in the large 1028
<br />scale drawings we have, it includes information, the ordinances require street trees, yard buffer trees, parking lot 1029
<br />trees, parking lot shrubs and then in the perimeter buffer which is a 100-foot buffer or 75-foot buffer that goes around 1030
<br />the complete site, there is a requirement for how many trees of what type and what size are in those buffers. We're 1031
<br />going to retain these natural buffers and augment them as needed in order to meet those requirements. 1032
<br /> 1033
<br />Dolores Bailey: Mr. Chair, can we do a time check? 1034
<br /> 1035
<br />Lamar Proctor: I have them until 8:50. 1036
<br /> 1037
<br />Scott Radway: 8:50? Okay, I'll use one more minute then. This shows you essentially what is going to be 1038
<br />green on the site when we're completed, the perimeter buffer, the stream buffers, the treed areas, within the 1039
<br />development area which has the residential development, there's a lot of area that will not become impervious, in 1040
<br />fact, the site right now as we have it designed and laid out and measured it as we can at this level of detail, we're 1041
<br />about 19 percent for the entire site. My 1 minute's up, thank you. 1042
<br /> 1043
<br />Edwin Cox: You've heard from Mr. Altieri and Mr. Stober about what changes are needed in detail, so I’ll 1044
<br />just summarize them here for you to look at a moment. Future Land Use Map amendment to classify our entire 1045
<br />parcel as a rural neighborhood activity node, comprehensive plan amendment to link MPD-CD and RNAN. The 1046
<br />zoning atlas amendment to rezone the parcel to MPD-CD and the UDO text amendment to put in some text where 1047
<br />it's required. I thought it was important to emphasize that you can't just apply for these changes to the 1048
<br />comprehensive plan and the Future Land Use Map and say, it's because I want it, it requires justification in terms of 1049
<br />the objectives of Orange County as defined in the comprehensive plan, so our justification is that if the changes are 1050
<br />approved the success of our project beneficially addresses a number of objectives outlined in the master aging plan. 1051
<br />And these specifically are housing Goal three, choices, quality and affordability of housing. We will have houses, 1052
<br />duplexes and condos, so those are our choices. Universal design that will allow people of all abilities to use any of 1053
<br />the residential areas and it'll be high quality construction. Social interaction, Goal 1; there will be buildings and 1054
<br />spaces for that purpose, that will be our community center, our walking trails, community garden. There will be 1055
<br />mobility options. We will have short distances from residences so that wheelchairs and mobility devices such as 1056
<br />scooters can get to the places they need to go. There will be participation in engagement through activities led by 1057
<br />the creative community, health and wellbeing resources, we have a continuum of care with care teams that are being 1058
<br />planned and a fitness center and there will be communication and information to meet Goal 8, a high speed Internet 1059
<br />connectivity and volunteer engagement. So Fiddlehead Corner will help fill the gap in support that is expected by the 1060
<br />tsunami of new aging adults in Orange County over the next few years and I did also want to mention sustainability. 1061
<br />Environmental sustainability is a high priority among our members and we, many of us have been engaged in local 1062
<br />and state sustainability efforts, the conservation cluster master plan design will preserve two-thirds of our land in 1063
<br />open space. We will have solar energy to generate electricity and energy efficiency in building design and Kevin 1064
<br />didn't get to tell you about our reclaimed water, but we're going to have the ability from this advanced secondary 1065
<br />treatment system to use the water for things like toilet flushing and therefore, save a lot of clean water that we 1066
