9. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
A. The Tourism Board will make a presentation regarding the proposed Downtown
Streetscape Program
.
Sam Hobgood, Chair of the Tourism Board, appeared before the Board and reminded them
of the series of public forums held over the past five years to gather input from various
stakeholders on what was special about downtown and what needed to be preserVed and
improved. With this information, the Tourism Board awarded a $500 grant to the Town Centre
Group to develop a Streetscape Master Plan with the help of the NC Division of Community
2
.
.
.
2G5
Assistance (Dept. of Commerce), and the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough. This plan was
presented to the public for comment, fmal input and establishment of priorities. Next, based on
the plan, the Tourism Board awarded a grant to make improvements to the alley between Bank
of America and Callaway Jewelry. The Tourism Board then hired DPR, Inc. to complete a
feasibility study of the Downtown Streetscape Improvements Project including
recommendations of how to proceed, cost estimates, and funding sources.
According to DPR, Inc. the total estimated cost might be around $2 million. The first phase
(which would focus on Churton Street) includes relocating the utility lines, sidewalk
improvements, street furniture, landscaping, etc. and is estimated at $1.5 million. The second
phase completes the project with work along King Street and Margaret Lane for the remaining
$500,000.
The Tourism Board has made this project its top priority and wishes to take the next steps,
which include seeking funding to implement the improvements. They have identified DOT's
TEA-21 Enhancements Funds as the best source offunding for projects such as this and feel
that they have an excellent chance of successfully acquiring these funds. This funding source
funds up to 80% ofthe project cost; however, they have been told by DOT staff that proposals
providing more than the required 20% match are looked upon more favorably.
Mr. Hobgood stated that the Tourism Board is requesting the Town Board to join them in
their commitment to seeing this project through.
Commissioner Sheridan commended Mr. Hobgood for his work on the Tourism Board and
on this particular project.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Chavious, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved that they are committed to further the Downtown Streetscape Endeavor by giving the
authority to the Town Manager to assist the Tourism Board with their application for TEA-21
Funds from the state of North Carolina and to look at additional funding as a joint effort
between the Town, the Tourism Tax, and Orange County upon their approval by a vote of 5-0.
The motion was declared passed.
B. Consideration of an Ordinance to rezone approximately 30.8 acres :from Agricultural-
Residential to Multi-Family on Orange Grove and Eno Mountain Roads. The parcels
are Tax Map 4.38.B.26 & 26E
Planning Director Margaret Hauth presented the Ordinance for the Board's consideration
and explained that Ron Dorrestein, an attorney retained by the applicant, addressed the Planning
Board at their February 5th meeting to seek a delay in the decision on the application. There
were significant questions raised at the Public Hearing that need to be addressed. If the
applicant would withdraw the application or the Town Board would deny it, another rezoning
request on that parcel would have to wait one year before it could be considered. To avoid that
delay, Mr. Dorrestein would like the opportunity to complete the necessary studies to address
the questions raised, amend the application to include that information, and have another
hearing, with full notice, to consider the amended application.

.
Planning Director Hauth stated the Planning Board unanimously deferred action on this
Item.
Mr. Ron Dorrestein addressed the Board to respectfully request this additional time.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Chavious, the Board
moved to allow the additional time for study necessary to improve the Zoning Ordinance and
rezoning application as necessary to bring the project to a new Public Hearing by a vote of 5-0.
The motion was declared passed.
C. Consideration of public hearing date options for Old Mill Ridge annexation and zoning
Planning Director Hauth presented several possible dates for the Board to consider.
By consensus, the Board scheduled the Public Hearing to consider the Old Mill Ridge
annexation and zoning for the March 11 th Regular Board Meeting at 7:00 PM.
D. Receive Letter of Interest Regarding a Request to Annex the 11.5 acre commercial
portion of Churton Grove known as Churton Grove Center
.
Town Manager Eric Peterson presented the Letter of Interest Regarding a Request to Annex
the 11.5 acre commercial portion of Churton Grove known as Churton Grove Center to the
Board for their consideration. Manager Peterson informed the Board that the developer Mr.
John Graham had stated to him that he was not interested in being annexed, but the Special Use
Permit for Churton Grove by Orange County requires request annexation for this portion of the
project. He further stated that if the Board is interested in pursuing annexation they could
request staff to conduct a fmancial feasibility study. If the Board is not interested in pursuing
annexation, they can simply deny the request.
Mr. Dennis Howell, representative for Churton Grove, appeared before the Board and
fielded questions. He also stated that he was not aware of any lack of interest in annexation.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to deny the Request to Annex the 11.5 acre commercial portion of Churton Grove
known as Churton Grove Center stating the Board has no interest in any satellite annexations by
a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
E. Consideration of National Register of Historic Places nomination for Occoneechee
Speedway
Planning Director Margaret Hauth introduced this Item and stated as a review that the Town
Board and Historic District Commission held a public forum to solicit public opinion on the
nomination. The Historic District Commission unanimously recommended the nomination of
. the site, indicating their fmding that the site meets the criteria for listing.

r:. G- 7
v'
Planning Director Hauth informed the Board that she has spoken with various staff at the
state level, both in NCDOT and SHPO, regarding the impacts of the nomination. The impact is
unclear. Section 106 requires all federal projects to consult with the National Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation about sites potentially impacted by a federally funded projects. This
Section applies to both listed projects and those determined to be eligible for listing.
Hauth stated that if the Brady Road extension remains a federally funded project, through
USDOT, it does not matter whether the project is listed or whether it is only eligible. The
review process is the same in either case. Only USDOT is subject to what is called Section 4F,
which indicates that the USDOT cannot "use" a historic site for a road when there is a "feasible
and prudent alternative." "Use", in this case, can mean take for construction or adversely
impact the qualities for which a site is nominated. It is possible, although not likely, that
USDOT may withdraw from the project after the planning is complete. At that point, the
Federal Corps of Engineers remains involved as a federal agency, but the provision of 4F does
not apply to them. If all federal departments withdrew from the project, which is very unlikely
given the involvement of a river crossing, and the project was solely funded through the State,
an historic site would have to be listed on the National Register to be subject to Section 106
requirements for study and consultation.
After much discussion, and upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by
Commissioner Lloyd, the Board moved to approve the forwarding of the Occoneechee
Speedway project for placement on the National Register of Historic Places by a vote of2-3
with Commissioners Gering and Lloyd voting Aye, and Commissioners Dancy, Sheridan, and
Chavious voting Nay. The motion failed.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to direct staff to send a letter showing the split vote by a vote of2-3 with Commissioners
Gering and Lloyd voting Aye, and Commissioners Dancy, Sheridan, and Chavious voting Nay.
The motion failed.
F. Discuss Water & Sewer Capital Facility Fee Charges for Cedar Ridge High School
Town Manager Eric Peterson stated that currently, the Orange County School system owes
the Town of Hills borough $301,560 in water & sewer capital facility fees for the construction of
the new Cedar Ridge High School. The Manager reminded the Board that the County requested
in an April 16, 2001 memorandum from the School Superintendent, that the Town waive the
Capital Facility Fees for the High School. At that time, he recommended that the fees not be
waived due to the impact on the Town's plants. The Board supported this recommendation and
decided not to waive the fees. Commissioner Sheridan requested the staff see if there were any
other alternatives that the Town could offer to assist the school system.
In an attempt to help the Orange County School System and address the request made by
Commissioner Sheridan, the School Superintendent was told that it would be permissible for
them to delay the payment and to see if the Capital Facility Fee Study would have an effect on
their possible payment.
5
8G8
. Town Manager Peterson presented the following options for the Board to consider:
OPTION #1: Require the School System pay the $301,560 in Capital Facility Fees that
is currently required by the ordinance - this is based on acreage.
OPTION #2: Allow the School System to pay $104,950 in Capital Facility Fees based
on the size of their meters and not acreage. This is likely a more accurate
method of charging for Capital Facility Fees. The staff will likely
recommend that this method be adopted for all development, starting
with the upcoming fiscal year.
OPTION #3: Allow the School System to pay according to the fee schedule
recommended in the Capital Facility Fee study performed by Raftelis
Financial Consulting: $31,444.48. This study has not been adopted and
its merits will be considered during the budget deliberations in May.
.
OPTION #4: The Town currently owes the School System approximately $122,000 for
the Water/Sewer Extension Agreement between the Town and School in
April 1990. The Town's portion of this project was $200,000, which it
could not afford to pay at the time. The Agreement calls for the Town to
rebate the water/sewer bill for New Hope Elementary School at the end
of each fiscal year. That rebate is part of an interest free loan repayment
for the $200,000. Last year the Town rebated approximately $14,000 to
the School System. At this rate, New Hope Elementary will essentially
receive free water and sewer service for another eight years.
The Board could suggest the County abolish the debt from this agreement
retroactive to July 1,2001 in exchange for the School's Capital Facility
Fees. The Town would then increase it's annual operating revenue by
approximately $14,000 for each of the next eight years, which informally
could be considered as being applied to debt service - an acceptable use
for Capital Facility Fees. The amount of$122,000 is slightly greater than
if the Town allowed the County to pay their fees based on meter size.
This saves the School System from having to make a large lump sum
payment for their Capital Facility fees.
OPTION #5: The Board may prefer to use a combination of retiring the New Hope
Elementary agreement debt in addition to a payment or some other
arrangement.
.
Manager Peterson stated that the Board is not obligated to charge anything other than
the $301,506 in fees based on the acreage and may choose to abide by the Ordinance in this
matter. He said he felt it was important to give the Board several options to provide assistance
in evaluating this issue. While the Town staff is empathetic to the challenges being faced by the
School System, we are also committed to making sure that the Town of Hillsborough continues
6

.
SGB
to receive payment from any new water/sewer customers to ensure they are paying for their true
impact on treatment capacity at the water and sewer plants. Peterson stated that he does not
recommend Option #3. Any of the four remaining options are acceptable. He emphasized that
he feels Option #4 is a win-win situation for the School System and The Town of Hillsborough
in that it will eliminate what is essentially a debt payment that is equal to the true impact the
High School will have on the Town's plants.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to approve Option #4 as presented and authorized the Town Manager to proceed with
his recommendation by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
G. Discuss the Possibility of Providing the Monthly Agenda Information to Board
Members one day earlier
Mayor Phelps suggested that it would be helpful to receive the agenda packets for the
regular monthly meetings at least a day earlier, so as to provide additional time for the Board to
review the information and prepare for the meeting.
Town Manager Peterson suggested establishing a deadline of9:00 AM on the Monday prior
to the Board meeting for submittal of requests to be on the agenda and supporting
documentation. If this system works, the Board should receive its agendas no later than
Thursday and occasionally on Wednesdays.
By consensus, the Board approved the earlier delivery of the agenda packets for the regular
monthly meetings.
H. Determine what the HOT TOPICS will be for the February Workshop
By consensus, the Board approved discussion of Waterstone and Magnolia Manor as the
Hot Topics for the February Workshop.
10. OTHER
Mayor Phelps requested a status update on the filing of the Fox Hill Farms De-Annexation.
The staff explained that the problem is obtaining an original signature of one of the
Legislators on the document, which is required by the Orange County Register of Deeds for
filing.
Town Attorney Bob Hornik stated he would follow up on this and report back.
11. CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS
Upon a motion by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner Dancy, the Board
moved to go into Closed Session to discuss Personnel Matters by a vote of 5-0. The motion
was declared passed.
