Vote Aye-5 Nay-0 ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT (ZTA-2019-06) FOR OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS Planner II Victoria Bailiff stated Lyle Estill is requesting an amendment to the Permitted Use Table in Section 5.2.1 of the Pittsboro Zoning Ordinance. Currently Bed & Breakfasts, Hotels, and Motels are not allowed in the M-2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning district. The applicant is requesting that the three uses listed above be permitted by right in the M-2 district. Ms. Bailiff stated staff does not find that residential uses are appropriate in the M-2 zoning district and as a Bed and Breakfast requires permanent residence of the dwelling unit staff and is recommending that Bed and Breakfasts not be included as a permitted use in the M-2 zoning district. Ms. Bailiff reported at the December 2, 2019 meeting, the Planning Board reviewed the text amendment request and after reviewing the location of properties zoned M-2, the Board recommended in a vote of 6-0 to approve the amendment as recommended by staff; only allowing Hotels and Motels to be permitted by right in the M-2 zoning district.

Mayor Nass and Commissioner Shipp stated they had reviewed information and can be fair and impartial. Planner II Victoria Bailiff gave background on the request: Proposed Use: Communication Tower UTILITIES: Water and sewer are not within the immediate vicinity. STAFF ANALYSIS : Tillman Infrastructures is proposing the construction of a communication tower, 300 feet in height. This tower is to be located at the corner of Mitchells Chapel Road and Alston Horton Service Road . This parcel is in the R-A2 zoning district, where communication towers over 50 feet in height are required to obtain a special use permit. The tower's proposed location is approximately in the center of the 23.34 acre parcel with an access drive running along the northern property line and a compound that is proposed to be fenced and screened in accordance with the Pittsboro Zoning Ordinance. [ PUBLIC HEARING: An evidentiary hearing was held on April 22, 2019. Seven speakers participated in this hearing. Three speakers, the applicant's representative, the applicant's lawyer, and the property owner spoke in favor of approval of the permit stating that the site plan has met the Special Use requirements for communication towers over 50 feet in height and cited an appraisal report stating that the tower would not affect adjacent property values. Two adjacent property owners, one citizen, and the lawyer for a nearby existing tower (SBA) spoke against approval of the permit; these speakers provided information on potential adverse health impacts from a nearby tower, cited concerns over property devaluation, and confirmed availability on the existing tower which is located less than a mile from the proposed tower. Due to a technical error in the advertisement for the evidentiary hearing in April, another hearing was held on October 28, 2019. The same two adjacent property owners and SBA lawyer from the first hearing were present to speak against approval of the permit. The Board allowed the SBA lawyer to speak; he discussed the application and the Impact Analysis submitted by the applicant. The lawyer representing the applicant spoke in favor of approval pointing out that the plan has met all ordinance criteria. The author of the Impact analysis , Mr. Smith, was called as a witness to answer questions regarding his report, the owner of the property, Mr. Mann was also called as a witness to speak and answer questions. The representative of Verizon was called as witness to speak as to why the company wishes to locate on the proposed tower. The Evidentiary Hearing was continued to November 12, 2019 to allow errors in submitted documents to be corrected and resubmitted. On November 12, 2019, lawyer representing Tillman Infrastructures submitted the corrected documents and the hearing was closed. December 9, 2019 Minutes Page 7 PLANNING BOARD : Prepared for the May 6, 20019 and December 2, 2019 Planning Board Meeting. The Board asked questions about the carriers to be located on the Tower and inquired about distance of guy wires to adjoining properties. Ultimately, the Board found that the plan met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and recommended approval in a vote of 6-0. Ms. Bailiff said the Resolution at your desk tonight contains two changes : Zoning Compliance Permits have been changed to Zoning Compliance Certificate and Section 8 - Landscaping - changed to that the planting be in place prior to c/o. Ms. Bailiff stated the applicant wanted to speak with the Board about the changes. Karin Kemeric, Attorney for the Applicant stated they agreed with the previous resolution. She was notified of a change to the Resolution this afternoon. She stated that Section 8 of the landscaping section previously stated that it had to be in place 1 year following approval of the Zoning Compliance Certificate. She became aware this afternoon it had been changed to require the landscaping to be installed at the time of c/o. Ms. Kemeric stated they would like to ask the board to consider to allow the landscaping and buffers to be installed within 90 days following the c/o. The reason for that is because once this is approved Tillman plans to move forward as quickly as possible with constructing the tower (with a 45-day construction time frame) . There is a possibility SBA could appeal the approval of this application and if that were to happen it could be 4-6 months down the road before they could begin constructing the tower. Verizon is ready and waiting to locate an antenna on the tower. Ms. Kemeric stated they don't want to have to install landscaping during the hot summer month when the plants could end up dying in order to get their c/o. She stated there is quite a bit of landscaping that the ordinance requires . There is approximately 422 ft. along the southern property line where landscape will be installed. Ms. Kemeric said they are requesting that the language be changed that landscaping be installed no later than 90 days after c/o. Commissioner Fiocco asked if we have a policy for this . Ms. Bailiff said normally they bond for the landscaping and plant it at a better time. Commissioner Fiocco said he is okay with change. Commissioner Bonitz said he is unable to vote in favor of this request he is very sympatric to the landowners, also to the neighbors who asked that they not pass this . He stated NYC is currently in ligation with the Federal Communications Commission over 5G service and the emerging science regarding health effects which has not been given. Commissioner Baldwin said she agrees with Commissioner Bonitz, the neighbors have spoken and she is very concerned. She said there is already a tower in close proximity. She can't support this request. December 9, 2019 Minutes Page 8 Motion made by Commissioner Fiocco seconded by Commissioner Farrell to approve SUP For Tillman Infrastructure LLC because the evidence presented at the Public Hearing was found as satisfactory in determining the findings. Vote Aye-3 Farrell/Fiocco/Shipp Nay-2 Baldwin/Bonitz A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TILLMAN INFRASTRUCTURE LLC IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF RESOLUTIONS NUMBER ONE, PAGES 204-207 SITE PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW (SP-2016-06-A0l) Thales Academy Planner II Victoria Bailiff gave an overview of the following memorandum: UTILITIES: Water and Sewer will be available to the property. Sewer allocation for this project was previously requested in 2016 and a reduced amount of 1000 GPD was granted for the initial phase at that time . The first phase of this project will require 6000 GPD and phase II will require an additional 9000 GPD for a total of 15000 GPD in sewer flow. The applicant has requested with this amendment to the plan the additional sewer allocation for their project. Staff recommends the remaining 5000 GPD be granted with this project for Phase 1 at this time. The Phase 2 is not anticipated to be ready to go to construction for several years. This request follows the new town guidelines for sewer allocation and is within the 110% threshold limit of the WWTP capacity as directed by the board. I STAFF ANALYSIS: - This proposal is being presented to the Board as a Site Plan Amendment for review. The proposal is to construct a 94,137 square foot private school in the Chatham Park PDD just north Thompson Street. The school will consist of two separate structures, one will house the elementary school and the other will contain the High School and Middle School connected to the auditorium. This plan differs from the previously approved plan in that there will be 40 more parking spaces, the soccer field has been removed and the high school has been brought closer to the road. Th.e previous site plan has been provided for comparison. Staff recommends approval of the proposed request (including the Phase 1 Sewer Allocation Request update in the amount of an additional 5000 GPD), subject to issuance of any additional local and state permits. PLANNING BOARD: Prepared for Planning Board, December 2, 2019. The Board posed questions regarding the changes between the previously approved plan and the new plan. The Board questioned the removal of the soccer field and made inquires as to the adequacy of the perimeter buffers and choice of vegetation used in the SCM, ultimately the plan was found to be sufficient and the Board recommended approval in a vote of 6-0. Commissioner Shipp asked about Phasing of the project. A representative explained Phasing of the project. Commissioner Farrell asked why the soccer field was deleted. It is because most of the students I at Thales play on some type Recreation team. December 9, 2019 Minutes Page 9 Motion made by Commissioner Fiocco seconded by Commissioner Farrell to approve the amendment and allocate 5,000 GDP sewer. Vote Aye-5 Nay-0 APPOINT WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE Mayor Nass stated former Mayor Cindy Perry had emailed the Board a list of candidates for the Water Quality Task Force and asked that they be appointed tonight.

Flags : A sign made of cloth, vinyl or a similar pliant material that is attached on one side to a flagpole and is designed to flow in the wind Additionally, staff is proposed to have text in the Sign Ordinance that defines size, height, and location of all flags erected in the Town of Pittsboro. The proposed text also includes provision to amortize flags that would become non-conforming as a result of this Ordinance change. H. All flags, subject to the following : 1.

(a) For the purpose of amortization, nonconforming flags may be continued from the effective date of this subsection for a period not to exceed one year. (b) Flags which were unlawful under the prior versions, and which do not conform to the current ordinance, must be removed immediately. ( c) Any flag or flagpole which is altered, relocated, or replaced, must be immediately brought into compliance with all provisions of this code. 5. Depictions of flags , when placed on structures, shall comply with the remaining provisions of this Section. December 9, 2019 Minutes Page 11 The recommended amendments are attached. A public hearing was held on October 28, 2019; several citizens chose to speak not in favor of the amendment. The Planning Board recommended to not approve (5-0) this proposed text amendment at its meeting on December 2, 2019. The Planning board cited the unclear propose of changing the zoning text as it relates to signs, particularly flags and that the effect of such a change would be too detrimental to the Town and surrounding community. They unanimously voted to recommend denial of the proposed text amendment. Thoughts from some Board members were that eventually the UDO could be a better place to have more rules as it relates to all flags in town. After much discussion a motion was made by Commissioner Fiocco seconded by Commissioner Shipp to deny the amendment.
