59 Draft <br /> 1 the applicant work with staff to provide the screening that's required by the UDO with the <br /> 2 understanding that if there's a change made, a new structure is built in that future building <br /> 3 envelope area, we know we're coming back with a new site plan anyway. That new site plan would <br /> 4 then have to address fencing and buffering for that particular building addition. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Beth Bronson: Could I? The reason I brought that up to begin with is that there's buffer called out on only one <br /> 7 portion of the property on the site plan as part of the application.And I understand now that the <br /> 8 UDO requires further buffering? <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Cy Stober: No, if I can clarify. Yeah, so to I think Ms. Bronson's point, it is—Table 6.8.6(d) shows that as a <br /> 11 matter of zoning, and not a special use, but, and to Mr. Myers' point here—no, Mr. Myers is there. <br /> 12 That AR, R1, and RB zoning don't require any perimeter buffering due to, I'm presuming, due to <br /> 13 their rural nature. So, if a buffer is preferred by the board, that would need to be a condition to be <br /> 14 negotiated with the applicant or to be requested of the applicant. What is required, to Mr. Hornick's <br /> 15 point, is screening of some manner, whether it be fencing or landscaping, of the care facility use. <br /> 16 But the remainder of the property would not require a landscape buffer. So, the site plan is <br /> 17 accurate and reflects the standards of the UDO because there is no perimeter buffering required <br /> 18 by the UDO. I apologize for any confusion on that point. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Leon Meyers: Jeff, you were about to say something? <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Jeff Scott: No, I was just going to say, sorry, I should probably speak into this thing. Because like, I'm just, I'm <br /> 23 a little worried that we're starting to impose some excessive conditions on some of these things. <br /> 24 And like, I don't—to Sy's point, it's like, you know, most of the site is wooded and part of that rural <br /> 25 part is, you know, the buffer is in some ways kind of inherent on the property anyway. So, I just, <br /> 26 I'm concerned we're going a little bit too far on some of these conditions and trying to impose <br /> 27 things. Whereas my position is more of; you know, should the application be approved that they <br /> 28 would work with the staff? So, that's just my concern with the conditions a little bit. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Leon Meyers: I want to come back to the frontage question. I don't— I'm not sure. James, you offered some <br /> 31 guidance about to read that section. Do other board members have concern about what appears <br /> 32 to read as a requirement for direct frontage on a public road? <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Beth Bronson: Yeah, it says direct frontage, and I think that that is something that can be contested. It can be <br /> 35 interpreted, and so I think that that is up to us to decide what the fact is. Is the fact that this <br /> 36 easement is sufficient definition that it provides direct frontage and access on a public state- <br /> 37 maintained road? Now, the applicant has, council has provided their definition of how that fits to <br /> 38 this. I think it comes down to the way that you see, the way that we see the standards interpreted <br /> 39 in our UDO. The nature of this seems like there should be direct frontage to a public state- <br /> 40 maintained road. And that seems to be related to emergency services and accessibility. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Leon Meyers: I believe it's correct to say James's advice is if you're going to look beyond a normal reading of a <br /> 43 phrase like that to special definitions in the LIDO, then you should look at all of the related <br /> 44 definitions. Did I understand that correctly? <br /> 45 <br /> 46 James Bryan: Yes. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Leon Meyers: And Mr. Hornick suggested one possible of way understanding direct frontage. And Cy, can you <br /> 49 tell us if there are any other frontage terms defined in the UDO? <br /> 50 <br /> 59 <br />
