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