BACKGROUND: Carolina Friends School is an existing private school located on the north side of Mt. Sinai Road(SR 1718) and west of Friends School Road(SR 1719). The property contains 33.94 acres and is zoned PD-RB, Planned Development- Rural Buffer. In Augustof 1990 a Class A Special Use Permit was issued for Carolina Friends School to allow the use of the school's wastewater disposal system in the Rural Buffer. Article 6.20.1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that a large ground absorption system with a design capacity over 3000 gallons per day may be allowed in the RB district only through approval of a planned development. A planned development is also required where there are multiple principal structures on a non-residential lot greater than two acres in size. 050 The Board of Directors of Carolina Friends School adopted a five-year master plan in 1991 for development of the school. In 1992 the Special Use Permit was modified to include expansion of buildings and parking consistent with the school's master plan. The current request is for 3500 square feet additional floor area(total 6500 square feet) for a library/arts building; a 1200 square foot addition to the Middle School for a multi-purpose room and faculty offices; 1000 square feet of office and storage space at the Early School; and enclosing a 400 square foot porch for expanded reception and office area at the Center Building. The request does not represent an increase in school staff or student enrollment. The proposed construction constitutes a major modification to the Special Use Permit issued in 1990 and amended in 1992. Article 8.7.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that such a change be considered by the Board of Commissioners following a public hearing. The proposed expansion of the school complies with almost all the findings (see attachment)required by the Zoning Ordinance that are attached to the current Special Use Permit. A condition has been included in the Planning Staff s recommendation to insure compliance with all State and local regulations. The attached letter from DEM indicates that the current permit for sewage disposal will be unaffected by the school's expansion because staff and student enrollment will not be increased. RECOMMENDATION: Article 8.4.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 45 days of receipt of an application. The 45-day period may be extended up to 60 days with the written consent of the applicant. The public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's recommendation. Zoning Officer's Recommendation The Zoning Officer has not received information which would establish grounds for making a negative finding on the general standards. These standards include maintaining or promoting the public health, safety, and general welfare, -- maintaining or enhancing the value of contiguous property, and the use being in compliance with the general plan for the physical development of the County. The Zoning Officer has reviewed the application, the site plan and all supporting documentation and has found that the application does comply with the speck standards and required regulations concerning the modification. Provided the Planning Board and County Commissioners find in the affirmative on the general standards, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the request .r 081 for modification to the Special Use Permit for Carolina Friends School subject to the following condition added to those placed on the Special Use Permit in 1990 and 1992: 1. The entrance and driveway are to be kept free and clear of traffic and parked vehicles at all times and clearly identified as fire lanes with reflective signs mounted on posts. The signs shall be installed under the guidance and supervision of the Orange County Fire Marshal's office and shall meet the provisions of Chapter 6 of the North Carolina State Building Code, Volume V, Fire Prevention, 1996 Edition. No decision on the application is made by either the Planning Board or the Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Instead, the Planning Board has 60 days within which to prepare and submit a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Failure of the Planning Board to submit a recommendation within the required time shall be considered a favorable recommendation, without conditions. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the application be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than October 1, 1996 093 Ve CAQ.OI.I r•!d.

Permit No. WQ0002161 Orange County Dear Mr. Paradis : The Division of Environmental Management has received-your letter, dated June 11, 1996, regarding the Carolina Friends School. You state that the school plans to add a new building to its campus in Durham, but that the addition of this building will not increase the staff or the student enrollment. You have requested that we let you know what is required with regard to the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities. The Carolina Friends School is currently served by a wastewater spray irrigation system authorized by Permit No. WQ0002161, which was issued on July 15, 1992 . This permit is for the operation of a 4000 GPD system. As long as the new building will not result in additional wastewater flow becoming tributary to the wastewater spray irrigation system, it will not be necessary to modify Permit No. WQ0002161; however, you should speak with the local building inspector about the approval of any building laterals associated with this building addition. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Randy Jones at 571-4700 . Sincerely, K- enneth Schuster P. E.
