Zoning Ordinance for the broad category of Historic Sites Non-Residential Rausa/Mixed
Use. There is a Special Use Permit, Class A originally approved by Board of County
Commissioners on February 12, 1996 in effect on the property now. The 1996
approved permit, by hindrance guidelines, is valid for six (8) years and will expire on
February 12, 2002. The Special Use Permit may be renewed by the Board of

Proper Owner: Laura G. Baldwin
Bite: 58.24± acres
Comprehensive Land Use Classification: Agricultural Residential Area
Adjacent Propertv Zoni AR (Agricultural Residential) and PD-H-R2 (Churton
Grove Subdivision) to the west
Current Conditions
. The business is located in a former farm building on a historic site known as
Sunnysitle.
• The farm building is approximately 200 feet from the Baldwin Road right-&-way.
• Two greenhouses are located behind the building.
• The site has numerous hardwood trees on the site.
• The property is not located within a Watershed Protection Overlay District.
. Nancy Hill Creek (aka Shrouds Creek) foes through the southwest comer of the
property on its way to the Eno River.
• There is an outdoor material stockpile/storage area near the northern end of the
property shown on the site plan.
Future Repudiate
As a pan of the application, the applicant has requested a separation of the business
property from the historic residence. As indicated at the Public Heaing, this land use is
a reuse of an historic property. Without the historic property zoning designation for the
entire tract, Reba and Roses would not be permitted to operate under the current
ordinance. Staff is currently working on a reclassification of these types of quasi-
farrnlretail uses to determine the zoning perimeters and site considerations under which
uses such as these should operate. A report is forthcoming this spring from a
worogroup composed of the Economic Development Director, Agricultural Extension
Director, Planning Director, Zoning Officer and Agricultural Economic Development
Specialist.
Also, in the attached letter, the applicant has identified projected, future structures and
improvements that are being ormomplated but are not shown on the site plan, Staff
does not recommend approval of any structures not shown on the site plan.
On the northern pad of the property, beyond the onchaMS, there is an area currently
being used for outdoor storage and stockpiling of landscape materials (i. a. mulch,
landscape debris, etc). This area Is subject to the bufferyard requirements of the zoning
ordinance which is a 75-foot buffer composed of predominantly (at least ]5%)
evergreen vegetation that is opaque to a height of at least thirty (30) feet at full growth.
The buffer will be approximately 200 feet long on each aide of fire stockpiled area (see
page 33). The purpose is to create a visual screen between this stockpile and existing
residential neighborhoods across the street as a continuing 'good neighbor' policy.
The Orange County Fire Marshall inspected the property during the last week of
October and found that it was in compliance with the N.C. Fire Prevention Code. The
Inspections Division of the Planning and Inspections Department visited the site on
November 2, 2001, and the report from that visit is attached.

these should operate. Several others spoke in favor of the proposal and no one
spoke in opposition. (Draft minutes are attached on page 36.)

Commissioner Brown asked about the pill area and if the use would be a gas station
and P there are ways to detect the bunch. Craig Benedict said that there are a lot of state and federal
regulations that will make this type of f cality meet higher environmental standards.
Questions from the Planning Board
In answer to a question from Howard McAdams, Craig Benedict mid that the new
standards would apply to all of the land that is being requested (1.09 acres). Pan of the program of re-
instituting the EC 5 use is to have the use of the original site plus Me 100% that was requested to be
underihe new regulations.
Bob Strayhom asked about the setback for the original site. Craig Benedict said that the
setbacks were 40 feet in the front yam and 20 feet around the perimeter areas. There are some certain
buffer requirements of landscaping in the EC 5.
Commissioner Gordon asked It the 10% Is needed to meet the higher standards and if
they do not get it, what would happen. Craig Benedict said that having the additional 10% would allow
the applicant to have more impervious area. If they tlo not pet the 10%, there might have to be
encumbrance of other properties so that the Impervious area could be shifted.
Public Commend
Alois Callemyn was representing the applicant He asked if the County Commissioners
got the rezoning request in writing. He said [hat Ben Lloyd is a farmer and was raised In this community.
Since 1922 them has not been a lot sold on this lend other than to a farmer. Obviously this land cannot
ba used rorfartning. He appeadides hisworking relationship with the Planning staff . He said thatthe
site would be held tor a higher standard Nan In 1987 when Mr. Lloyd applied for the building permit With
regard to the 10%, there will be buffers there that will not be used. They are requesting the 10%
because the property has right-of-way on three sides. Regarding the 20- foot elevation, he does not
believe the elevation will have an impact on the flow of water. He said that they have contacted all the
surrounding owners and they have all given Mr. Lloyd their verbal approval of this site.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to
refer this matter to the Planning Boom for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of County
Commissioners no sooner than Febmery 19, 2002.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
2. Renewal of Special Use Permi Class A
Reba and Roses, Inc. requested to renew a Stakes Use Pound, Class A for
property zoned Agricultural Residential.
The Clerk swore in 5 people -Jim Bo trlcke, Jaki Shelton Greene, Laura Baldwin,
Craig Benedict and Annie Hassell.
Craig Benedict said thata canceled abstract was distributed this evening. The
Special Use Permit for this property expires on February 121' so It Is Important that the County
Commissioners consider this renewal before that time. The recommendation has been revised to meet
this timeline.
Craig Benedict made the presentation. This is an existing special use permit, class
A, which requires Boom review and comment every six years. In 1996, it was originally approved and
there was a site plan for a retail shop to sell mass and garden areas and a gift shop. It was approved in

1996 and it has been in operation since then. There were some conditions of approval and all of these
were met. Pad a Ne renewal process is an analysis of the site to evaluate if the project has stayed in
compliance for the last six years. He referred to page 45, which is the staff analysis. There was anomer
greenhouse added to the property over the years, and if the Boats so chooses to renew this special use
permit, the applicant has staled that they will obtain the necessary building permits to be sure the
structure meek the building code. The staff Is suggesting that all structures that have not been permitted
be permitted appropriately. There was one additional condition regarding a pedestrian scenic walkway
along Nanry Hill Creek because of its proximity to Chardon Grove. He suggested that this condition not
be included at this time. He feels that there can be furtber discussion with adjacent property owners to
evaluate the continuation of public access Hails. If at some point in the future Here is a need for these
pedestrian walkways. It con be considered at that time. Staff is recommending that the similar
conditions imposed In 1996 be re-instituted for this property and that the condition regarding the
pedestrian walkway be deleted from the recommendation and that this item be forwarded to the Planning
Board for decision and recommendation by February 5, 2002 and returned back to the Board of County
Commissioners no later than February 12, 2002.
Questions from Board aCounter Comm 65 en
Commissioner Gordon pointed out that this is an existing development and the house
has been there a long time and the walkway would not be too far from the existing house. She reek that
there should be some consideration given to the fact that the house has been there a long time and the
use already exists. She said that there would be a disruption if the pedestrian walkway were added.
She would not support this pedestrian walkway.
Public Comment
Jim Bestow, 153 West Margaret Lane, spoke in support of Raba and Roses and said
that this is truly a business that should be encouraged This is a unique and wonderful place. Ithan

There is low tratha volume, no noise, no smells and it is a type of business that fits in this kind of
neighborhood. He said that as orange County is striving to preserve open space and the appearance of
open space , this klod of business in this setting meets the requirement by providing a viable, economical
alternative that preserves open space. He said that this establishment is really an asset that we should

Laura Baldwin presented pictures of her establishment She said that her business is an
unusualbusiness . The business is at a private home which was a farm. She wanted to keep her land as
it was because she is not a farmer. They want Reba and Roses to remain true to the country and

they must fit into, but Reba and Roses does not fit into any of the County's boxes. The property is
actually split into 2 parcels. Raba and Roses she on the 4o acres and her home sits on the 16 acres.
This is not a normal development or business. They need the flexibility to grow. Coming to the Board
every six years for renewal and approval to grow puns s damper on a small business that sbuggles every
day. She is asking the County commissioners to think of anew category to put them into so they can

Geoffrey Gledhill said that the use value taxation program does not mean that structures
are of under the zoning requirements or the bullding permit requirements. They are not related

nothing to do with the buildings that are located on the property.
Commissioner Carey clarified that the time limit for a Special Use Permit Is six years and
Craig Benedict said that this applies is all class A, historic property, non-maidential used.
Commissioner Gordon said that because of the short timeframe for this Special Use
Permit it is important to follow through on this renewal. However, she is interested in finding another
categoryfor Reba and Rwes to ft.
Craig Benedict said that he agrees there is a need to create a Category that would better
fit Reba and Roses' situation.
Commissioner Gordon taste that there should be different requirements or built in
considerations for something that already exists like a Special Use Permit.
JaM Shelton Green snake on behalf of Reba and Roses. Shemelsmatshelsoneofthe
largest consumers of Reba and Roses. Shereadapreparedstatement She lives in Orange County,
but has a Mebane address, She lives closer to three large chain garden centers, but her choice of
garden canters has been Reba and Roses. She said that the philosophy of Reba and Rases as
translated to her has been one of collaboration. She said that Orange County was very biassed to have
a community-based modeled business that tens to operate out of its relationship to its consumers, not
only for gain, but also for sustenance. She asked the County Commissioners to support and encourage
venues like Reba and Roses by modifying processes that are restrictive and punitive.
Chair Halklotis observed that because of field trips made by students to Reba and Roses
by some agricultural and horticultural classes at Orange High School, female enrollment has increased
dramatically in these types of classes that have welding. These students are making garden sculptures
and selling them.
Annie Hassell said that she has been in Hillsborough for 2 Y years and has had a lot of
dealings with Reba and Roses. She thinks that this glues Orange County an opportunity to support small
businesses because It Is an unusual business and is giving a great deal to the Community.
Commissioner Jacobs suggested that Laura Baldwin serve on the Pool
Development Commission because this task force needs women and small business owners.
Commissioner Brown suggested moving ahead on Commissioner Gordon '8 suggestion
to come Up with some creative response to this particular situation. Craig Benedict said that staff could
do something independent of this and work on a new Category.
John Link volunteered the Economic Development staff to work with Planning staff to
move expeditiously on this.
Geoffrey Gledhill said if the County Commissioners change the regulations so that a
special use permit Is not required for Reba and Roses, then Reba and Roses woultl be able to operate
under that use.
