Subject: SP 2011 -002 Castle Hill Cider — 2nd set of zoning comments
Please consider the following comments:
1. Zoning concurs with the County Engineers comment about the floodplain disturbance
and the need for a Special Use Permit for activity in the floodplain. Please submit that
apr
a. Zoning still concurs with the County Engineer that there has been work done
within the floodplain and that work needs to be approved via a Special Use
Permit. This application should be submitted with any resubmittal for this
application. The application for the culverts and dam within the floodplain can be
one application with the appropriate fee paid.
2. The first two events proposed are permitted (farm winery events and weddings and
wedding receptions). For the proposal of 4 large events please provide more detail so
the zoning administrator can evaluate and determine if they are considered to be
agritourism uses or wine sales related uses which are usual and customary uses at farm
wineri `hrc �e C �monwea'
a. The artisan fair is the only event that does not appear to meet the agritourism
definition in Section 3 of the Zoning Ordinance. Unless you can convince zoning
otherwise with more specifics. Specifics to the other events would not hurt but
are not required for this.
3. Per the OuppiernenLai neguiauon 5.1.25(d) ii; provide more detail to the limits of the field
parking so that it can be evaluated as to adequacy of the number of spaces needed for
the__ +„r +;-I I. , -- r +�
a. I failed to note what the parking requirements for special events are. The
requirement is for one (1) space per two and one -half (2.5) customers plus one
(1) space per employee (includes winery staff, caterers, musicians and vendors).
With a limit that you requested of 3000 persons that would come to 1200 space
for the events and if you can, please identify the maximum number or employees
that fit the description above. I would estimate no more than 200 additional
space needed for a total of 1400 space. Whatever the number of employees is
please adjust the number of parking spaces shown on the proposed plan.
4. Your letter mentioned some lighting. Per the Supplemental Regulation 5.1.25(d) ii;
please locate the lights on the plan and provide evidence that they are in compliance
with Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance. Note on the plan that all lighting even
lightinn hrnunht in by 1psspps must cmmnly with SPCtinn 4.17.
a. A note will be fine that it will comply with 4.17 but you still need to designate
where the lighting will be on the site. Will it be at the area identified as "Event
Space" as shown on the revised plan dated 2 MAY 2011 ? Or will it be in other
locations as well? Will all of the three grey shaded areas be event spaces?
