Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />November 9, 2021 <br /> <br />The ZCOC document provides official verification that the project is complete and <br />complies with the applicable standards of the Cabarrus County Development Ordinance. <br />Ms. Morris would be happy to answer any questions. She said Mr. Brett Hicks, Zoning Officer, <br />was also on site with her. Mr. Bass has been to the site multiple times. The Committee members <br />have been to the site, and Mr. Goldberg, Deputy County Attorney, also rode out the last time. <br />We are happy to answer your questions. <br />She said the applicant and I did not really talk about whether there is a formal presentation. She <br />believes he is just here to answer any questions or hear your concerns related to the site. <br />Mr. Brett Rockett said obviously, it sounds like the strapping could be a continuing issue. He <br />asked if there was a specific timeline provided in the email you received saying when that would <br />be completed. <br />Ms. Morris said it did not, it kind of said that they could start taking care of it next week. <br />Mr. Jansen from the audience said this week. <br />Ms. Morris repeated what Mr. Jansen said, this week. She said the applicant can answer those <br />questions for you. <br />Mr. Charles Paxton said during the presentation, it was mentioned that the mulch was not being <br />maintained along the buffer. He asked what the story is on that. <br />Ms. Morris said the areas where that is, it is the exterior buffers where the streets are, the Joyner <br />Road buffer and Mount Pleasant Road South. There is a lot of growth in there, what would be <br />considered weeds. Some of them are taller than she is, and it has not been maintained like a <br />commercial buffer would be. <br />She thinks that is a point of discussion for the Board. We get back to what is the intent of that <br />buffer being installed, what is the intent of the planting plan. She said that is probably a <br />conversation that the Board needs to have <br />the O and M on the site, but at this point, Canadian Solar no longer owns the project. There is a <br />new project owner. If there are any expectations, that would need to be communicated to the new <br />project owner. <br />Mr. Paxton said obviously, they are not here tonight. Has staff said anything to them about that? <br />Ms. Morris does not know if Mr. Jansen has had communications with them because they <br />currently are the ones responsible for operations and maintenance of the site. Mr. Jansen will <br />have to answer that. <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
