58 Draft <br /> 1 Kevin Hornik: UDO section 5.8.2(b)(2)(h) requires fencing and/or screening to be provided which ensures the <br /> 2 protection of the client's receiving care and protects adjacent residentially-developed properties <br /> 3 from trespass, on screen. Again, that's a condition, as you'll see, that the client is happy to comply <br /> 4 with. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Leon Meyers: And the specifics of that get negotiated at zoning compliance? <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Kevin Hornik: Right, will be dictated by the UDO and staff. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Beth Bronson: This is kind of where I have the question of designating the entire parcel for a special use permit <br /> 11 versus the section that you're showing in this picture, which is the main area being used as the <br /> 12 care facility. So, unless we're going to reduce the size of the special use permit and limit it to those <br /> 13 couple of acres that are in use as the care facility, you want to include the entire 30 acres, that <br /> 14 presents a much higher burden. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Kyle Myers: I think it's 9.75. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Beth Bronson: I'm sorry, 9. I'm sorry, all 9 acres. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Kevin Hornik: Well, I'll say it was not the applicant's request to apply the special use permit to the entire property. <br /> 21 That was something that was, again, done at the recommendation of county staff. If what you're <br /> 22 suggesting is, is that you would like the applicant to provide a Type B 30-foot buffer around only <br /> 23 what's shown on this screen here, I don't imagine that there would be— <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Beth Bronson: Yeah, no, I'm talking about the opposite. A Type B buffer around the entire 9.72 acres. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Kevin Hornik: Right, which is again what we have already suggested that we would agree to. I mean, what 1 <br /> 28 would say is I think it's probably more appropriate, as we've already talked about with staff, to, as a <br /> 29 condition of approval, that the applicant will work with staff to provide the required buffering under <br /> 30 the UDO. Because as we've already talked about, the UDO includes this variable buffering <br /> 31 requirement, so that we could work with staff to determine what's already there, what that is <br /> 32 existing on the site already falls within the county's preferred plantings list, and then to add <br /> 33 additional vegetation to satisfy either or both of the 30-foot Type B buffer requirement, or the <br /> 34 variable buffer requirement. Again, it's a large parcel with a relatively small area in which this use <br /> 35 actually operates. And so there are probably, based on that fact, there are probably different visual <br /> 36 buffering requirements, and certainly are different fencing requirements on the various parts of the <br /> 37 property. For example, why would we fence, you know, the westernmost edge of the property that <br /> 38 is not used as part of the day-to-day operation of the care facility? <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Beth Bronson: Because it's included in the future building site. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Kevin Hornik: Well again, I think as we've already discussed, if there were changes that were proposed that <br /> 43 included a large, you know, additional structure in the building site, we would have to come back <br /> 44 here, we'd have to present a new revised site plan, it would likely be considered a major <br /> 45 modification to the special use permit. So, at that time it would be appropriate to add additional <br /> 46 conditions for new or additional fencing or buffering that are actually specifically related to <br /> 47 whatever the new building or expansion is. I think it would be inappropriate right now to speculate <br /> 48 about what may hypothetically at some point in the future be built in that hypothetical, or in that <br /> 49 potential future building envelope. And what would be the appropriate buffering or fencing for that <br /> 50 particular structure. So, again, I would suggest kind of what we've talked about as a condition that <br /> 58 <br />
