17 <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked what the final easement will look like. <br /> Cy Stober said it will be a concrete or asphalt-like surface. He said typically a multiuse <br /> path is 8-10 ft. and the easement is 30-ft ft. He said it would allow access from Orange Grove Rd. <br /> and possibly Grady Brown School Rd. <br /> Chair Bedford said this was in the top five most requested transportation projects in <br /> Orange County. <br /> Cy Stober said this does not fully achieve the goal, but it is a step in the right direction. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if this is the only non-conforming school. <br /> Cy Stober said all schools in OCS are now non-conforming. He said he is in discussion <br /> with the school system about that. He said Planning has received an application from Carolina <br /> Friends School to expand their campus and they are in a similar situation. He said he hopes to <br /> bring that to the Board as a conditional zoning request in September. <br /> Chair Bedford asked if schools have to pay fees for this conditional zoning request. <br /> Cy Stober said Carolina Friends School did have to pay fees, but Orange County was the <br /> applicant in this case, so there were no fees. <br /> Chair Bedford asked if there would be fees if these changes were text amendments. <br /> Cy Stober said no, and Ashley Moncado has been a strong advocate for that approach. <br /> He said that it can be brought to the board for approval. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Vice-Chair Hamilton, to open <br /> the public hearing. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> There was one signed up to speak. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Vice-Chair Hamilton, to close <br /> the public hearing. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Vice-Chair Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to <br /> approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 7) and Zoning Atlas Amendment Ordinance <br /> (Attachment 8). <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> b.
