Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />January 8, 2019 <br />31 <br /> <br />developed and they have to figure that out first before they come to the County and meet the <br />County standards. That is kind of how that process works. We would not review a soil and <br />erosion control plan for Cabarrus County standards, because we do not have standards. But, that <br />soil and erosion control plan and the site plan that they submit to us should match up, if there is <br />buffer requirements or setback requirements, things like that. <br />Does that answer your question that you had, Mr. Corley? <br />Mr. Corley: It does. I guess the responsibility then, for lack of a better word, is on the applicant <br />to make sure that any changes that are caused by any review process are somewhat consolidated <br />into one set of plans that everybody sees, that would be their responsibility. <br />Ms. Morris said correct. <br />Mr. Corley: To avoid working off of five separately permitted plans that are completely <br />different. <br />MS. MORRIS: Correct. I believe that those were the two major items that came up that needed <br />follow up, unless I missed something. <br />Dr. Litaker: Do you recall the life expectancy of a solar farm, how long it should last? <br />Ms. Morris: I believe it is 20 to 25 years. <br />Dr. Litaker: You said 20? <br />Ms. Morris: 20 to 25 years, I think, depending on the equipment that is used and probably <br />weather conditions, somewhat. <br />Dr. Litaker: On something like that, if we are trying to build a buffer and you are talking ten <br />years to get to like a Leyland Cyprus, then we lost half of the life expectancy replacing this <br />buffer, so we need to consider that. <br />Mr. Pinto: Any other questions for Susie? <br />Ms. Grimsley: I was thinking --I am not sure what we can do at this point, until we get <br />confirmation from a site visit from the staff to confirm or deny what is actually going on or what <br />could come before us to confirm their actual plan. <br />Mr. Dagenhart: Not only a site visit to determine what the current conditions are, but just even to <br />review what was put before us tonight. I mean, I still have some questions about what was put <br />before us. I mean, there is some areas in purple that I do not understand why you did not add or
