Approved 7.10.24 being approved. So, if we were to say that, like, how many parking spots you could have, we could put a condition 1878 on that to say, you know, or that your community center couldn’t be more than 10,000. It’s very arbitrary. I’m just 1879 pointing out that the master plan development is conditional on what is being submitted in the application. And that’s 1880 more for, I think, public knowledge than it is for the applicant, per se. I did see four different lift stations for the septic 1881 plan and not to say that’s not feasible, but as somebody who’s going through that permitting process myself, 1882 understanding how much to do the STEP system might incur and how much land disturbance might be required to 1883 accommodate all of this. Because I think what’s very critical is that while it’s an activity node, there are no utilities 1884 available at 54, right? So, there is no fire hydrant. There is no septic. There’s only volunteer fire departments. So, 1885 when we say first responders, that I think would be the concern that I would have in my line of questioning, and I 1886 realize we’re at 10:10 and to those that are asking about banjo music my friends and I have, and I’m a millennial, 1887 we’ve been talking about doing this for about a decade. So it’s not that, you know, 55 and younger don’t want to. It’s 1888 that it’s a non-attainable thing that a lot of people who are 35 to 45 think oh, I can find a plot of land in a community 1889 that I feel accepted in and then age in place until I’m 70 or 80 or 90. And that is very much, I think, what you guys 1890 have put there as this community, as this coop. I think is is a very ambitious goal and I think it is very much in line 1891 with Orange County, with this aging in place. I don’t have to know the very specific goals to know that what’s 1892 intended is absolutely aligned with that idea. Whether or not it is prudent of this planning board to recommend that or 1893 not is completely separate of how I personally feel about it. 1894 1895 Scott Radway: Can I have half a minute of the 1 minute that’s left, maybe, to answer or make one comment? 1896 1897 Lamar Proctor: There will be an opportunity for debate and discussion amongst the board, so if we can get to the 1898 questions then we can finish. I’m not trying to cut you off. 1899 1900 Beth Bronson: No, I get it. Everybody else had their time. And maybe what we can do with this remaining 1901 time is make this motion to continue, and are we going to be creating a special session or are we going to be meeting 1902 in July? And I apologize if I was late and did not hear about this in the beginning, but we do need to decide whether 1903 or not we are meeting before our next scheduled planning board meeting. 1904 1905 Lamar Proctor: Well, if you’re done with your questioning of the applicant, then I can move onto that. 1906 1907 Beth Bronson: Oh, no. I only have 2 minutes and we’re supposed to stop so that’s why I figured it was 1908 necessary. 1909 1910 Lamar Proctor: Okay. My intent was to just resume through the normal process at the July meeting on 1911 July 10th, just continue with this agenda. 1912 1913 Beth Bronson: Okay. 1914 1915 Lamar Proctor: And I will welcome suggestions from staff. 1916 1917 Cy Stober: Well, point of order is we have two applications that have a due process need to be completed 1918 in July so we’re going to need to talk about agenda composition and how they are ordered. One is a by-right 1919 subdivision that you’ve already reviewed as a concept plan for the Stonewall subdivision and the other is a down 1920 zoning for the Common Ground project on Frazier Road. 1921 1922 Charity Kirk: Both of those you want in July? 1923 1924 Cy Stober: They have a right to be heard in due time, so they need to be scheduled at some point. So, I’ll 1925 probably need to speak with Mr. Beeman and Mr. Proctor about it, and the staff attorney, James Bryan, about how 1926 we process these, so they are able to get their due process and get to a public hearing in due time. 1927 1928
