AGENDA ITEM 5: CASE A-2-18 ± Public Hearing to review a Class B Special Use Permit application concerning the expansion of an existing child care facility at 200 David Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278 (PIN 9862-10-1791 and 9748-99-7320). The property, located within the Chapel Hill Township of Orange County, is owned by the Hillsborough United Church of Christ. Samantha Cabe :At this time, we will proceed with a public hearing to review a Class B Special Use Permit application concerning the expansion of an existing child care facility at 200 David Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278. Patrick Mallett:Good evening. Patrick Mallett, current planning. We¶ll need to grab that book and get everyone sworn in. Samantha Cabe:At this time, we are going to swear in every person who wants to testify in this hearing.Because this board bases its decisions on relevant and competent evidence, we need to have all testimony under oath. So, any person who wants to be heard, come and be sworn in at this time. Michael Harvey swore in those who wished to testify. Michael Harvey: When you come to testify, state your name, purpose of speaking (applicant, expert) and that you¶ve been sworn in. Approved July 9, 2018 3 Patrick Mallet: You¶ll see in your packets, starting on Page 38, the normal abstract that is prepared for a case like this, Class B Special Use Permit for a child care facility. I¶m going to go through these briefly and then I¶ve got some additional items to hand out to go with the packet. Starting on Page 46, you¶ve got your site assessment, which gives you an overview of the property. Starting on Page 47, you¶ve got your application package. Attachment 3 on Page 62 has notification materials. Staff comments start with Attachment 4 on Page 70. And then we have our Findings of Fact, prepared for each Special Use Permit Class B, starting on Page 80. And the existing Special Use Permit on Page 89. The church was opened in the 90s. The daycare facility in 2005«when was the original daycare opened? Dan Rockaway: This the third daycare. The original daycare opened in 2000. Patrick Mallett: There has been a daycare in operation here for quite some time. The current operator is Sounds and Colors and they are essentially seeking to expand the number of children from 55 to 80. Part of the expansion is the building and the existing play area. Patrick Mallett: At the advice of the attorneys office,staff amended the certification, posted the sign,and mailed out the mailings as required by the UDO. This case was cancelled due to snow. This has the new dates. I¶ll pass this out to amend the packet. I also have a page that amends the Findings of Fact with the revised dates. And a copy of the notice of the public hearing. I also have enlarged copies of the basic site layout. It¶s the same materials as in the packet, just larger. This handout is a basic overview with some of the interior. Patrick Mallett: A brief overview. United Church of Christ is located at the intersection of Davis Road and Old N.C. 86. It¶s been there for quite some time. It¶s a little hard to see at that intersection because it¶s tucked into the woods. The building to the left is the actual church. The child care facility is the building to the right. This is Old N.C. 86. If you were traveling south toward Chapel Hill, just to the north is the Settler¶s Point development recently approved and the I-40 interchange. The facility is zoned rural buffer. It¶s within the Lower Eno unprotected watershed and Jordan Lake unprotected watershed. The blue line in the middle signifies the break in the watershed.The church and the daycare has a state-approved septic system. It¶s a little bit different than your average septic system because it¶s a sand-filtered lagoon. This darker area at the bottom of the site, I believe, is the new portion of the septic system.The application has been reviewed, as it always is, not just by planning staff but by Environmental Health,the sheriff¶s office, to document support of Findings of Fact. Patrick Mallett: I¶m just going to skip over to the site plan. The area in orange is the expansion to that existing building. It¶s a 1,200-square-foot expansion to the existing building. And then they are expanding the play area, the green area alongside it. They will utilize the existing parking. They will improve the handicap parking, located outside this entranceway. To a large extent, they are going to use the 80-plus spaces of the church. The childcare facility operates during the weekdays.We consider it a compatible use in that the church uses it on the weekends. This is putting it to full use during the weekdays. Patrick Mallett: This is the more detailed site plan, showing you how they are going to rework the parking and define it, how they are going to get their ADA compliance issues dealt with in terms of the building code and the expansion area, which is essentially going to be classrooms, administrative space, and multipurpose rooms, and the required play yard and fencing. Here are some schematics of the improvements to the interior. More details on the interior. These are views from the south, east, you can see this is the expanded area, the existing building, north, and west. And west would be facing toward the existing church. Approved July 9, 2018 4 Patrick Mallett: It¶s been reviewed by all the various departments and the child care facility is already approved through the state system. They already have their permit and every indication that they will be able to support the expansion. The state has reviewed their septic permits. There is indication that their gallons per day works out mathematically to support their request. Patrick Mallett: The applicant has agreed to pay attention to any land disturbance. This is not above the threshold that would require a stormwater or erosion control permit. To a large extent, they are using the existing building and existing parking so there is very little land disturbance. Any area cleared out for the play area, in terms of significant trees removed, would be replaced to be sure the landscape ordinance is met. I think with that I¶ll stop and see if you have any questions. Or we can enter the testimony into the record. Randy Herman: I have a question. Is there not an outdoor play area at the existing facility? Patrick Mallett: I believe there is. They are required to have one. Dan Rockaway: My wife and I own the school, the business. I¶m a co-applicant with the church. You have to have 100 square feet per child for outdoor playground area. Right now we have three playgrounds, one off of each classroom. For simplicity and to meet regulations, we wanted to add one off of this building. Patrick Mallett: We¶ll go to the applicant. Michael Harvey: Before we go to applicant testimony, I¶d like to request that the board incorporate staff¶s abstract, including all attachments, as corrected this evening with replacement pages 62, 63,and 64,with updated notification of this meeting, the notices to all property owners within 1,000 feet, a copy of the notice, certification from Mr. Mallett that the sign was posted, certification that the legal ad was properly placed in two papers, in this instance, of local circulation, and the revised Page 81 providing detail as part of deliberation. It would be nice to have a motion to enter staff¶s abstract packet as amended into the record. Samantha Cabe: Do I have a motion to incorporate the abstract packet as amended with the supplemental materials tonight? MOTIONN made by Randy Herman to incorporate the abstract packet as amended with the supplemental materials. Matt Hughes seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Dan Rockaway: I just want to give you a little history about us. My wife is sitting to your right, Martha Rockaway. We opened this school 7 years ago. Before us, The Little School was there. And before them, Pinewoods Montessori was here. It seems that the schools that have been here have been successful. There is definitely a demand for this need. We started this business 7 years ago.I guess our daughter who is 14 now, inspired in us a passion for early childhood education. My wife is a teacher from Colombia, taught Spanish and French in Colombia, taught Spanish here. When our daughter was born, she read every book she could read on early childhood education. At the time I was in school for an MBA and said let¶s put a business plan together and see how this goes. While watching my daughter learn Spanish, English and Mandarin (when she was 2), I saw how I was struggling in my thirties, trying to learn Spanish. Our school is Spanish emersion, by the way. We have been there for 7 years. That school is licensed for 58 children. We are asking to raise the enrollment cap to 80. About three and a half years ago, we opened up a school in Cary Approved July 9, 2018 5 licensed for 109.And then eight months ago we opened up one in the west side of Cary, licensed for 145. I think our schools are somewhat successful because it¶s Reggio inspired. It¶s Spanish emersion. It¶s play-based. It¶s project-based. It¶s an emergent curriculum, so we don¶t just say it¶s spring, let¶s talk about flowers. We see what the children are interested in. We also focus on our outdoor learning environment.By law, we¶re required to be outside for at least one hour a day. We¶re outside for two to three hours a day. In Reggio inspiration, food is important. So we have a can-free kitchen. We have been pretty successful in Hillsborough. We turn away around 50 families a year. Those are the ones that come for tours. Others, when we say we don¶t have space,don¶t come for a tour. With that said, we had this challenge of expanding this school from a state perspective because of the septic system. The requirement is 25 gallons per day per child. We sent the state three years of data and they approved it for 15 gallons per day per child. When that was approved, it opened up that we could serve more children in Hillsborough. I do want to thank you all. With all the emails trying to get on this calendar today, I feel like we know you. Jay Kennett: I¶m Jay Kennett, pastor of Hillsborough United Church of Christ. As Dan said, they have been there 7 years. As you heard previously, this is our third daycare to be there. Every other daycare left because the space got too small for them. So, Dan and I began discussing this a few years ago and the church felt it could offer to make the space larger if we could work out the water issue. It feels like a good opportunity for us to have a long-term tenant and something that is good for the community as well. Michael Harvey: Mr.Kennett, can you state for the record whether or not you have been sworn. Jay Kennett: I have been sworn. Dan Rockaway: I have been sworn, too. Patrick Mallett: Attachment 5 is the Findings of Fact.These are the elements you go through page by page, section by section, then go through the specific Findings of Fact that start later in the packet. Findings are set out for a Class B Special Use Permit in the ordinance. Turn to Page 81, you have the application components. This articulates and ticks through, where applicable, staff saying yes they have met the burden. All those items in green. The notifications requirements, the date has changed because of the snow date. Then you have your specific standards on Page 83. Standards for a child care facility, which are very specific in the UDO, on Page 84. Then the three items that you would go through motion by motion. Patrick Mallett: On Page 87, we have our recommendation. With that, it has several conditions of approval. If you choose to approve the Special Use Permit, we ask you to consider adding in the conditions itemized 1 through 5 on Page 87 and 6 and 7 on Page 88, if you are so inclined. Patrick Mallett: Most of the conditions of approval are fairly standard for this type of use. There is acknowledgement of the additional items and permits that have to occur. This is the first step, the opening of the gate, allowing the expansion. The next step would be a site plan approved with zoning compliance by all the same departments. Then a building permit¶s approved. And document for the state the expanded number of children allowed and the septic system. One last thing is they would be working with NCDOT to review the driveway permits to make sure it is safe. There is one driveway that is close to the intersection of Davis Road and Old 86. Samantha Cabe: Does the board have any questions for Mr. Mallett or the applicants? Approved July 9, 2018 6 Susan Halkiotis. I don¶t have a question. The application was well put together. It was very clear and I appreciate the comments. I do have a comment about the letter that was sent out April 10 by Mr. Kennett.When I read that, I thought if only everybody would approach a project with willingness to let people know what¶s going on and to welcome comment, I wonder how many contentious cases ± one particular contentious case ± that could be avoided. Jay Kennett: We want to be a good neighbor to our neighbors. As soon as we started to talk about it,that was one of the first components, how do we welcome the neighborhood. We invited people to come see the space. Although we didn¶t have a lot of people come, we did have a few people call me on the phone. It was good to talk with them and everything was really positive. Susan Halkiotis: I found that to be refreshing. Patrick Mallett: Because of that effort, we didn¶t have anyone at the information meeting or any calls. They solved that information before the process began. Randy Herman: You don¶t anticipate issues of parking or people backing up on Davis Road? Dan Rockaway: They pull in and it¶s a long driveway in front of the church. No one backs out on Davis Road. They turn around. Because we¶re adding 22 children, it¶s probably 16ish cars because there are siblings. If there was ever an issue, we can always expand drop-off times. Jay Kennett: Sounds and Colors has a little more spread out drop-off and pick-up times so there is not nearly as much traffic as the other daycare that was there where everyone was dropping off and picking up at the same time. There is definitely a time between 5 and 6 p.m. when most people are picking up, but it¶s more spread out on the other end. We have two driveways. Previously, the other daycare came in one driveway and went out the other. And that could be an option. Patrick Mallett: (showed on site plan overview)This one is more of a horseshoe through the site that goes past the church. You could theoretically drop a kid off here or park and walk over. Also, there is an effort to redefine the parking in here (indicated on site plan overview). Not to get too much into the technical aspects of that, but it¶s difficult to meet ADA compliance because of the pitch of the sidewalk,the route from the vehicle to the doorway and through the doorway. I think they¶ve solved that element, at least in my conversations with James Baxter with inspections. Matt Hughes:Am I reading this chart right that you are also adding spaces up here? Jay Kennett: It¶s just a little bit more defined than they are right now. The spaces are already down there. Patrick Mallett: They will be marked. Right now it¶s an undefined space. Dan Rockaway: Everyone pulls straight down at the bottom. Every now and then we¶ll have a visitor who pulls in sideways. That¶s probably twice a year. Samantha Cabe: Is there any other person who wishes to give testimony or to be heard? Any other witnesses? (There were none.) Is this the point where we close the public hearing? Michael Harvey: Yes. You can have a motion to close the public hearing and I¶ll reiterate that before you enter your deliberations and close the public hearing, obviously staff and the applicant Approved July 9, 2018 7 can¶t answer any questions. The attorney¶s office can provide you direction as it relates to interpretation of the law and implementation of the ordinance. And while Patrick Mallett has already covered this, I am going to make the explicit statement for the record that staff has received no documentation, evidence, or any testimony from anybody indicating that the applicant has not met their burden as defined in the ordinance with respect to specific criteria for establishing a daycare or the general findings of fact in Section 5.3.2A. Matt Hughes:I do have one question. This is my first and last case where this occurred, but is the applicant also required to adhere to the conditions imposed by the Special Use Permit in July 2015? Michael Harvey and Patrick Mallett: Yes. Matt Hughes: So we don¶t need to touch on existing vegetation being maintained or anything else. Those conditions are still applicable. Michael Harvey: Those conditions are still applicable. All you are approving, as Mr. Mallett has pointed out and the abstract has pointed out, is a modification to allow that expansion to happen. All those original conditions are still applicable. Samantha Cabe: Does anyone have any questions for the applicant or staff? Do I have a motion to close the public hearing and begin deliberation? MOTION made by Matt Hughes to close the public hearing. Susan Halkiotis seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe:At this time, we will begin going through the abstract and the required findings, one section at a time. With regard to the application component, do I have a motion that we adopt staff¶s recommendations on that section on Page 81 (it¶s the green section)? Approved July 9, 2018 8 MOTIONN made by Susan Halkiotis to adopt staff¶s recommendation with regard to application components on Page 81, the green section. Randy Herman seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe: With regard to notification requirements, which are stated on the bottom of Page 81 and carry over to Page 82, in the orange or pink section. Do I have a motion to adopt staff¶s findings with regard to notification requirements? Approved July 9, 2018 9 MOTIONN made by Randy Herman moved to adopt the notification requirements on the bottom of Page 81 and carrying over to Page 82, the orange or pink section. Susan Halkiotis seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe: On Page 83, with regard to specific standards showing in pink with regard to waste disposal, safety and vehicle access. Do I have a motion regarding staff¶s findings for these specific standards? MOTION made by Randy Herman moved to adopt those specific standards. Holly Safi seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe: Page 84, with regard to specific standards for a child care facility including the site plan and standards for evaluation, do I have a motion to approve staff recommendations with regard to these specific standards on Page 84? Approved July 9, 2018 10 MOTION made by Holly Safi to adopt those specific standards. Susan Halkiotis seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe: On Page 85 and carrying over to Page 86, these are our specific findings that while the staff has made recommendations, we must make findings ourselves.The first being that building will or will not maintain or promote the public health, safety and general welfare if located where proposed and developed and operated according to the plan as submitted. And again, this is the expansion of the current building and subject to the previously issued Special Use Permit. Does anyone have a motion? MOTIONN made by Susan Halkiotis that the building will maintain or promote public health,safety and general welfare. Randy Herman seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Approved July 9, 2018 11 Samantha Cabe: With regard to Finding 2, we must find that either the use will or will not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. Do I have a motion that based on the application submitted, that the proposed use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property? Randy Herman: Can I make a comment on this? Samantha Cabe: You may. Randy Herman: The letter that was in there from the commercial realtor, it seemed to be a summary and not supported. But I think the application was sufficient and there was not testimony against the idea that it will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. MOTIONN made by Randy Herman that the use will enhance or maintain the value of contiguous property. Holly Safi seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous Samantha Cabe: Finally, the last finding. This board must determine that the location and the charcter of the use, if developed according to the plan submitted, will or will not be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and the use is in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the County as embodied in these regulations. Do I have a motion that the location and character of the use, if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area? Approved July 9, 2018 12 MOTIONN made by Randy Herman that the location and character of use will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located. Susan Halkiotis seconded. VOTEE: Unanimous James Bryan: Two more things. The conditions and approve the permit.
