As the Board will recall, we are reviewing a Class A Special Use Permit in accordance with Section 8.8.30 for the proposed development of a school on 711 Terry Road. The application specifics are provided in the abstract. The applicant is proposing development of a school on 711 Terry Road, a 14.5-acre parcel of land. It is zoned Agricultural-Residential, Lower Eno and Little River Protected Watershed. It is located in the Agricultural-Residential Land Use Element. I have for you just an aerial view, once again, of the property in question. And I would like to begin my presentation of the abstract focusing on the site plan. As you will recall, the proposal is by a non-profit corporation to develop a school property that would focus on a farm/agricultural and science-oriented curriculum that included farm and crop production; animal care; recycling, composting, and water conservation activities/projects; and study of the natural environment. As the Board will remember during the public hearing, there was opposition to this request. This information is provided in Attachment 3 of the document. The site plan, as you will recall, proposed the development of six classrooms and one administrative building showing an emergency vehicle lane that was intended to go around the building. Here are the elevations that were submitted by the applicant. The student pickup and drop-off area was in a small area adjacent to the emergency vehicles lanes with stacking spaces for people to park to allow for vehicular traffic to pass through. It is proposed to have 37 parking spaces. You will also recall at the public hearing, we informed the County Commissioners that the applicant had submitted a revised site plan showing two access points onto Terry Road and were to comply with the provisions of Article 8 of the Zoning Ordinance specific to special use provisions, requiring two means of ingress and egress for a school site. The Planning Board reviewed this application at the August 61h meeting, and after reviewing the application and reviewing the additional comments, it was recommended for approval with the imposition of 15 conditions. I will review those very briefly before I go on with what's included in your packet. He reviewed the conditions that are shown below: 1. That the site plan be revised to denote a thirty (30) foot vegetative buffer along all common property lines and that the SUP contain a condition requiring the applicant to install and maintain a 30-foot buffer to the Type A buffer standard as detailed within Section 12.6.1 of the Ordinance and that further this required buffer be shown on any and all submitted site plans proposing the development of this property in accordance with Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. That a condition be placed on the SUP that the Fire Marshall and representatives of the Caldwell Fire Department shall review and approve the revised site plan prior to the issuance of any Building and/or Zoning Compliance Permit(s) approving the location of all proposed improved fire lanes and stacking areas, verifying that they comply with all applicable North Carolina Fire Protection Code standards, and approve the use of the pond as an emergency water source for fire suppression activities prior to the start of land disturbing activities. 3. That a condition be placed on the SUP requiring the applicant to apply for any and all necessary septic and well permits from the Orange County Department of Environmental Health within one hundred eighty (180) days from the approval of this application and that such permits shall be issued prior to any land disturbing activity. 4. That a condition be placed on the SUP requiring the applicant to apply for a Building and/or a Zoning Compliance Permit within one hundred eighty (180) days
