Approved 9.4.24 <br />Jessica King: Yes. 548 <br />Patrick Mallett: You can correct me if I get your story wrong. This property is located on 711 Faith Way, 549 <br />it's the Cheeks Township, it's an amendment between the Back Creek Protected and 550 <br />Upper Eno Protected watersheds. Baseline zoning is R1 and would remain R1, the area 551 <br />in blue is the existing overlay boundary, the area in red depicts the new boundary change 552 <br />and with the other case it takes it to the property line then ties it back into the current 553 <br />mapped overlay. Land use designation rural residential, this is a good point to 554 <br />communicate what brought the property owner to here. She was essentially maxed out 555 <br />with her impervious as it was prorated for her property for her driveway and her house. 556 <br />Her desire was to build a modest garage and then there was the realization, well the ridge 557 <br />line is not here, it's over here, and that change alone would allow for enough impervious 558 <br />surface to do a small garage. Because of the way the legalities of this work, she too, just 559 <br />like the previous case, we're already gone through that state process, the notification of 560 <br />the board of commissioners, they've accepted it, we have since approved because we 561 <br />legally have to accept that for permitting purposes, the true ridge line. Her garage, we 562 <br />have signed off on that permit. The mapping that was done is kind of hard to read but it 563 <br />basically corresponds to the previous map. Staff analysis is the application was complete, 564 <br />the staff review, the application is considered request consistent with the Orange County 565 <br />2030 comprehensive plan. The proper notifications were made via mail, sign postings 566 <br />and listed on our active development web page. With the planning board level, just like 567 <br />the other case, would get referred on with a recommendation to the Board of County 568 <br />Commissioners. The planning director recommends to the board to receive the rezoning 569 <br />application delivered on their proposal as desired, consider the planning director’s 570 <br />recommendation, and make a recommendation to the BOCC on either the statement of 571 <br />consistency, Attachment 6 or the statement inconsistency, Attachment 7, and the 572 <br />proposed ordinance, Attachment 8 in time for the September 5th, 2024, BOCC meeting. 573 <br />Adam Beeman: Anybody have any questions? 574 <br />Chris Johnston: Does it matter that that line goes all the way down back to the originating line and so that 575 <br />whole side there, does that matter in the slightest? 576 <br />Patrick Mallett: It's the same circumstance. 577 <br />Chris Johnston: I guess that's fair. It would be assumed that it would. 578 <br />Patrick Mallett: The ridge line and the survey went beyond that slightly, but the reality is legally we can 579 <br />amend it on her property, then we take it from there, but either property owner to the north 580 <br />or south, if they felt like it benefited them and there was a need, it's a pretty compelling 581 <br />reason to keep amending that to correspond with the ridge line. 582 <br />Chris Johnston: I guess what I'm saying is this property owner wouldn't need to come back and then move 583 <br />that red line back to the new line because it's along the property line, does that make 584 <br />sense? 585 <br />Patrick Mallett: Yeah, I understand what you're saying, there's no impact on the property owner. It's a 586 <br />mathematical calculation and her impervious limits based on the watershed are based on 587 <br />the amount of area on her property so, you're not going one way or another. 588 <br />Chris Johnston: Okay. Then if the next property owner over gets a survey and finds it matches up to the 589 <br />new line, they don't, the previous property owner doesn't need to come back and revert 590 <br />back the line or anything along those lines, it would just continue on. 591
