Approved 8.6.25 439 Dolores Bailey: Okay. Thank you. 440 441 Lamar Proctor: All right. Charity? No?Any other questions for staff or the applicant? 442 443 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair? 444 445 Lamar Proctor: Yes. 446 447 Cy Stober: Just a point of clarification to Ms. Bailey's comment. Burning of waste is prohibited by the county 448 ordinance, not the unified development ordinance, and is enforced by both the Fire Marshall and 449 the sheriffs office,so it's a standard, it's part of the solid waste ordinance.This is handled by solid 450 waste as well as enforced by the sheriffs office and the Fire Marshall, so it's nice to have it in 451 black and white as a condition as well, but it already, there's a backup of the county ordinance. 452 453 Dolores Bailey: Thank you. 454 455 Lamar Proctor: We do have a sign-in sheet that is sometimes not clear on who wants to speak so, at this time, 456 hearing no further questions, I would like to move into public comment. Peter, did you want to 457 address the board? You don't have to if you don't want to, but you signed in,so we want to give 458 you the opportunity. 459 460 Peter Klopfer: Thank you very much. I really have nothing to add to what school's heads already told you. The 461 plan does not entail any major expansion of the school, so I'm assuming it's not going to pose any 462 kind of threat to our neighbors and, certainly, as an ecologist, I am particularly sensitive to the 463 issues of night pollution, of water flow, and the light,and I'm quite satisfied that the planning by the 464 architects have taken the biological considerations that are professionally important to me, of very 465 carefully consideration, and I don't see any threat to the environment that the proposed changes 466 would present. 467 468 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. Then I have Mark Kuhn. Did you want to address the board? 469 470 Mark Coon: I'm the outgoing board clerk at Carolina Friends School. Also does volunteer for a number of 471 years and I've been a school parent and am now a school grandparent, so I've seen now four 472 children from my own family go through the school, and in getting to know the school community 473 and finding the very beneficial ways in which the students are schooled, I'm just pleased to see 474 the school moving forward to continue its sustenance into the future, and this is part of that. 475 476 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. And then Andrew Goolsby. 477 478 Andrew Goolsby: No. 479 480 Lamar Proctor: And then the other sign-in participants were the presenters, so I don't think there's any more 481 public comment needed. As chair, I will just say that I think Carolina Friends School has been a 482 longstanding fabulous neighbor and part of the Orange County community in starting up the board 483 discussion on this, and it doesn't appear to me that there's, like Peter said,there's no major 484 substantial changes, it just seems to be a very organic growth of the school and it's,you know, it 485 seems completely consistent with our comprehensive plan and the kind of neighbor and good 486 neighbor that we want to support in Orange County.At this point, I think we should have any 487 discussion, or any statements that any board members want to make, or any discussion about 488 changing conditions or anything else before we move into a motion on the statement of 489 consistency. 490 491 Chris Johnston: I don't think I have any reason that we would want to fiddle with things in the periphery here. 492 That's me personally though. 493
