7 <br /> secured and Laura Blackmon said that it has not been secured. She suggested that <br /> something be put in writing requesting information about this to DOT. <br /> Chair Jacobs suggested putting a resolution on the agenda for October 21st and then <br /> forwarding it to DOT. <br /> Chair Jacobs pointed out typos and grammatical mistakes on the following pages —69, <br /> 71, 73, 82, 83, 85, 91, 92, 94, and 96. He gave the corrections to staff. Commissioner <br /> Gordon said to also look at page 65, number 12-a. <br /> Chair Jacobs made reference to page 69, item #5, about not having smoking within <br /> structures. He would like to delete smoking from all structures instead of designated <br /> structures. <br /> Michael Harvey said, with respect to #5, the applicant has no concern with prohibiting <br /> smoking within structures, but they requested language be added to that same section <br /> indicating that residential development shall be excluded, so that residents are allowed to <br /> smoke in their own homes. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that he was confused about transit stops. On pages 85 and 86, #19 <br /> —talks about use of parking lots to support car pooling activities. He suggested preferential <br /> parking with carpooling so that it is rewarded. <br /> On page 86, item 27-d, he asked why there was only 20% compact car parking. Craig <br /> Benedict said that there are parking standards. If there is interest to have higher than 20%, <br /> then the Board could ask the applicant. Chair Jacobs suggested wording it, "no less than <br /> 20%." <br /> On page 87, #2, he said that Orange County has a landscape architect on staff and he <br /> suggested having them included in these discussions about landscaping. <br /> On page 91, item P-1, he would like to stipulate that existing vegetation be avoided to <br /> the greatest extent possible. <br /> On page 93, item d-2-a, Chair Jacobs recommended adding the word "vegetative" <br /> pertaining to the buffer. <br /> On page 97, there is an item #7 that is blank. He suggested adding to this item that the <br /> applicant work with the Orange Community Housing and Land Trust to be able to convert units <br /> that do not sell to equity to maintain the condominium units. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to pages 60-62 and the language, "other uses." <br /> She asked what these other uses were. Michael Harvey referred to page 60, condition `C', <br /> which has the exact uses that would fit into this category. <br /> Geof Gledhill said that he did not know how to write #7 on page 97. If the Board can <br /> approve this in principle, then he can bring something back on October 14th. Also, he said that <br /> the Board could approve in principle the rezoning of the property, the special use permit with <br /> all conditions, the necessary findings, and the Statement of Consistency, and then there could <br /> be a consent item at the next meeting with the corrected language. <br /> He read the language regarding drive-thrus: Drive-thrus at Buckhorn Village will be <br /> regulated in accordance with drive-thru regulations applicable in Orange County's planning <br /> jurisdiction that are in place at the time each application for site plan approval is submitted. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Foushee <br /> to approve the Statement of Consistency in principle. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Foushee <br /> to approve the Resolution of Rezoning in principle, consistent with Attachment 3-a. <br />
