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