Approved 9.3.25 659 Lamar Proctor: Okay. We'll get to that as a different issue. All right. I was going to move down to Charity. Is that 660 okay Beth? 661 662 Beth Trahos: Yes. 663 664 Lamar Proctor: Okay. 665 666 Charity Kirk: On Page 121, the fire and life safety was commenting that two separate and approved apparatus 667 access roads shall be provided when the number of dwelling units exceeds 30 with the exception 668 of all dwelling units are equipped throughout and with approved automatic sprinkler systems, and 669 the number of dwellings on a single-fire apparatus access roads shall not be increased unless fire 670 apparatus access roads will connect with future developments as determined by the fire code 671 official. Like, there's more than 30. But I didn't quite understand what this meant for this 672 development. 673 674 Donna Crowder: I'm Donna Crowder, Director of Entitlements working on this project. Thank you for letting me talk. 675 The Fire Marshall that made that comment,that was in the first round. And we responded to that 676 and there was new regulation out there through the state of North Carolina, and I'm glad to 677 provide that information to you, the general statue, but you do not have to have two access roads 678 unless you have more than 100 single-family dwellings and that is the state of North Carolina.The 679 Fire Marshall at one time made that comment, but that was back in the very beginning, and we 680 sent him the regulations, and he said, oh, yeah, you're right. So, he agreed with the regulations 681 that was provided, but I would be glad to provide you with that general statute. I think we can pull 682 it up here tonight. If you give us a moment, we can find that statute. 683 684 Cy Stober: If I could provide context, that was the former interim Fire Marshal. We have a new Fire Marshal. 685 He was quoting from what he thought was the current version of Appendix D of the State Fire 686 Code, and Donna is correct that the applicant is correct. That reference was out of date, and the 687 Fire Code was changed to increase that from 30 to 100 dwellings by the State. 688 689 Charity Kirk: Thank you. On Page 126,just to go over the minor details. From the Department of Natural and 690 Cultural Resources, it's said there are documents attached, and I didn't see anything from the 691 Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in my document. I was wondering what they said. 692 693 Lauren Honeycutt: All of the documents that we receive from the State Clearinghouse,which is where these different 694 external agencies comment, are only available through the Permit Portal,which is indicated in 695 your abstract. You have to, unfortunately, go through the link in order to view the full documents 696 just because of the length of the documents. 697 698 Charity Kirk: So, I need to go to the PDF, not this printout that was sent to me in the mail? 699 700 Lauren Honeycutt: Correct. 701 702 Charity Kirk: Okay. I will take a look at that. Where did it say that? I did read lots of stuff. 703 704 Lauren Honeycutt: It can be a little bit tricky, but the hyperlinks are available in the abstract and the staff report. 705 706 Charity Kirk: Okay. I will look out for that from now on. Thank you. 707 708 Lauren Honeycutt: Yeah. Apologies. It can be a little confusing. 709 710 Charity Kirk: It's okay. That's why I asked. If this maintained an R1 status, how many lots would be allowed on 711 this property with the stream and wetlands? Because they're 1-acre lots for R1, but you have a lot 712 of half-acre lots for this rezoning. So,what is the tradeoff between the two? 713
