HILLSBOROUGH TOWN BOARD
June 12, 2006
7:30 PM, Town Barn
The Town of Hillsborough held its regular meeting on June 12, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Hillsborough Town Barn. Present for the Board Meeting were Mayor Tom Stevens, and
Commissioners Frances Dancy, Brian Lowen, Eric Hallman, Michael Gering, and Evelyn Lloyd.
Staff present were Town Manager Eric Peterson, Assistant Town Manager/Public Works
Director Demetric Potts, Town Clerk/Personnel Officer Donna Armbrister, Planning Director
Margaret Hauth, Police Chief Clarence Birkhead, Finance Director Greg Siler, Fire
Marshal/Code Enforcement Officer Jerry Wagner, and Town Attorney Bob Hornik.
7:32: 12 PM Mayor Stevens called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m.
1. PUBLIC CHARGE
7:32:35 PM Mayor Stevens did not read the Public Charge, but indicated it would be followed.
INTERVIEW: VOLUNTEER APPLICANT AND CONSIDER APPOINTING TO FILL A
V ACANCY ON THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION WITH A TERM ENDING JULY
30,2009
7:32:46 PM John MacAulay was interviewed by the Board for a position on the Historic
District Commission. It was noted that Mr. MacAulay was interviewed and endorsed by the
Historic District Commission. Mr. MacAulay said this Commission was the link that held the
historical character of Hillsborough to the changes that were taking place and that must take
place. He said he was anxious to be involved.
7:34: 14 PM Commissioner Evelyn Lloyd arrived at the meeting.
Mayor Stevens thanked Mr. MacAulay for volunteering. He said he also wanted all boards to be
friendly, facilitative, and as fair as possible for citizens.
Mr. MacAulay said he agreed wholeheartedly with that. He said he had two goals in mind if
appointed to the Commission. He said one was helping and working with the Commission to
clarify some of the ambiguities so that the guidelines become clearer and more rigorous, and
reduced the uncertainty felt by citizens. Secondly, he said education was a part of the mission of
this Commission. Mr. MacAulay said when people came to Hillsborough they needed to be
educated about the special historic district here and the protection of it as well as the
methodologies that must be adhered to..
Mayor Stevens noted that this appointment would be considered during the Appointments section
of the agenda.

2. AUDIENCE COMMENTS REGARDING MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED
AGENDA
7:38:01 PM Joe Phelps addressed the Board regarding concerns he had brought before them
several months ago, noting he had not yet received a response. He said one of his concerns were
agendas, noting that this week's agenda had not been put online until mid-day today. Mr. Phelps
said just having the agenda before the public was not helpful because it only listed the topics to be
discussed. He said it would be helpful in keeping misunderstandings to a minimum to have some
information available for the public. Mr. Phelps said another issue was the difficulty with the
sound system, noting that many times it was impossible to hear the conversation from the Board,
particularly with the HV AC system cut on.
Mayor Stevens noted that there was a position available with the Town for a part-time Public
Information Officer.
7:41: 16 PM Jim Dooley, representing the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce,
addressed the Board regarding Hog Day, scheduled for this Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., and
then all day Saturday. He distributed Hog Day memorabilia to the Board members. Responding
to a question from a Commissioner, Mr. Dooley said they had moved the stage back down
towards the Eno River, and moved half of the crafters over to where the stage area was last year.
3. AGENDA CHANGES & AGENDA APPROVAL
7:44:55 PM Commissioner Hallman pulled Item 11.E, regarding operation and rules for public
parks, from the Consent Agenda, to be placed at the beginning of the Decision Agenda.
7:45:49 PM Upon a motion by Commission Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board moved to approve the agenda with the specified change by a vote of 5-0. The motion was
declared passed.
4. APPOINTMENTS
A. Re-Appoint Phil Ray, Holly Reid-Shaw, Cathleen Turner and Joe Rees to the Hillsborough
Tree Board with terms to end May 31, 2009
7:46: 10 PM Mr. Potts presented stated those members terms had expired and all had asked to be
reappointed, however they had two additional applications from volunteers. He said if the Board
wanted to consider them the applications could be brought back at a later time. Commissioner
Gering asked how many members were on the Tree Board. Mr. Potts responded five. Commissioner
Gering asked had it always been the case that so many members' terms expired at the same time. Mr.
Potts said no, that it had evolved that way over time. Commissioner Gering said his concern was that
this reappointment would be a second term for all of these individuals. Mr. Potts said at the least.
Commissioner Gering said that would mean they were facing the majority of the Tree Board
disappearing once these terms were completed. He said he worried about the continuity, and asked if
2
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 3 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
Mr. Potts or the Tree Board could help to address that. Mr. Potts suggested appointing two members
to two-year terms and two members to three-year terms to stagger the expiration dates.
Commissioner Gering said he did not want to suggest that be done now, but it should be considered
soon. Mr. Potts said the Tree Board had been discussing that issue, as well as amending the
ordinance to allow more members and revise term limits.
7:48: 17 PM Commissioner Lowen said if the Tree Board was working on increasing the
membership number, perhaps we could temporarily extend the present terms to allow that the two
new applicants be considered. Mr. Hornik stated that unless a member resigned, they would continue
to serve until someone else was appointed to fill their vacancy. He said technically these terms could
continue.
7:49:33 PM Commissioner Lowen noted that the four terms at issue here had already expired, and
asked if they did not reappoint them now, would they automatically go forward into another term.
Mr. Hornik said their term would continue on until someone was appointed to replace them.
Commissioner Lowen said if the Board was working to increase membership, and we had two
additional volunteers who wanted to serve, we might be able to expand the Tree Board and include
all of the applicants. Mr. Hornik noted that this Board would ultimately decide expansion of the
number of members on the Tree Board.
7:50:39 PM Commissioner Lowen suggested reappointing the members now on the Tree Board,
and then have the Tree Board make a recommendation as to how many additional members it might
need. Mr. Potts said he would ask the Tree Board to make a recommendation to this Board as soon
as possible so that the two additional applicants might be considered.
7:52: 11 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Gering, the
Board moved to reappoint Phil Ray, Holly Reid-Shaw, Cathleen Turner and Joe Rees to the
Hillsborough Tree Board with terms to end May 31; 2009 by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared
passed.
B. Appoint Volunteer to fill a vacancy on the Historic District Commission with a term ending
July 30, 2009
7:52:36 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board moved to appoint John MacAulay to a vacancy on the Historic District Commission by a vote
of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
It was noted that the agenda numbering was incorrect, with Items 5 and 6 missed. Item 7 were the
next item on the agenda.
7. COMMITTEE REPORTS
7:52:56 PM Commissioner Hallman reported on the Parks and Recreation Board, noting the Town
had sponsored the Walkable Hillsborough Day, and thanked that Committee for its hard work. He
said regarding the Mountains to the Sea Trail, we were ready to endorse our section of the draft map
but that would not be considered until the fall. Regarding the Transportation Advisory Committee,
3
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 4 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
Commissioner Hallman stated a public forum would be held on Wednesday night regarding the
Transportation Improvement Plan. He said the meeting would be held in the City Hall Chambers in
Durham at 7 p.m.
Commissioner Hallman said regarding the Economic Development Commission, he had provided a
CD to the Board that would be given to new businesses coming into the area. He said the CD
contained all sorts of statistics and data regarding a five-county area. Commissioner Hallman said
the Commission had received some interest from people regarding building in Oakdale Village,
noting one was from a local restaurant chain and another was a bakery. He said there was a major
retailer looking to relocate along the 1-40 corridor in Orange County, and we should be hearing about
that soon. He said it would mean 200 new jobs for the area.
Commissioner Hallman said he was unable to attend the Strategic Growth Plan meeting.
7:56: 11 PM Mayor Stevens said he had attended most of the Strategic Growth Plan meeting, and
the Committee had been looking at three scenarios of land use. He said all three of those plans might
be constrained by water, so they were looking at how the land might be used. Mayor Stevens said the
Committee engaged in an exercise of looking at the land as if there were no constraints just to bring
out some ideas. He said at their next meeting they would be considering how to present that to the
public.
7:57:33 PM Commissioner Gering said the Transfer Development Rights Task Force had its final
meeting on June 6, and voted to unanimously forward their assessment to the County Commissioners
that the Transfer Development Rights program was feasible. He said it was up to the County
Commissioners to flesh out any additional details or gather public comment. Commissioner Gering
said there were many questions about such a program that were unanswered, and could not be
answered with a lot more analysis and public input. Of note, he said, in at least its initial incarnation
municipalities would not be included in the program, primarily for pragmatic reasons.
Commissioner Gering said the Churton Street Corridor Committee had shared its plans at the
Walkable Hillsborough Day on June 3, with success. He said there were lots of comments as well as
enthusiasm. He noted that the staff was now finalizing the report, which would be displayed on the
Town's website when completed. Commissioner Gering said there was an open house scheduled
prior to the workshop on June 29th at 6:00 p.m., with a presentation of the material. He said there
would be a public hearing in July where the recommendations would be heard, and the Town Board
could take action at that point regarding the next steps.
Commissioner Gering thanked the Town staff, Margaret Hauth and Stephanie Trueblood, for their
hard work in making this a successful project. He said they had also received a great deal of aid from
the State Department of Commerce, Division of Community Assistance, noting they had assisted in
helping us achieve a higher level of success.
8:00:43 PM Commissioner Hallman said in our Economic Development District (EDD) and in the
Buckhorn EDD, water and sewer had now been brought into that area. He said there was talking
about bringing water and sewer into the Eno EDD as well.
4
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting

Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
8:01: 31 PM Commissioner Lloyd stated she had nothing new to report regarding the Fire
Department, noting they would be meeting next week.
8:01 :55 PM Commissioner Lowen said the presentation given regarding Northside initiative and
how to perhaps do something like that in Fairview was a good one, and a follow-up meeting was
schedule. He said he was interested in looking at some of the problems, particularly crimes involving
drugs, and how to crack down on that.
8:03:02 PM Mayor Stevens said he was impressed by the cooperation between various agencies in
Town and County, and that was needed in order to make things happen.
8. REPORT FROM THE TOWN MANAGER
8:03:35 PM Eric Peterson reported that tomorrow was the last Hillsborough University practical
writing class, noting that eight more students would be coming into the new class.
Mr. Peterson said the Board had recently discussed holding training sessions for the Town Board as
well as advisory boards and other committees. He said many things were being added to the agenda
for the Board, and asked if the Board wanted this issue added sooner than later.
8:04:57 PM Mayor Stevens said the question was having a joint workshop with the advisory
boards about legal processes and other processes, and whether we wanted to do that in September or
move it forward to August.
8:05: 17 PM Commissioner Lowen said he was supportive of holding this workshop, and suggested
holding it in September until vacations were completed. Mayor Stevens agreed, and asked the
Manager to place it on the September agenda.
Mr. Peterson reminded the Board not to leave at the end of the meeting until he was able to retrieve
the letters to be sent to their legislative delegation regarding a return of the funds taken by the State in
2002. Commissioner Gering stated those letters were in support of two bills, one in the House and
one in the Senate, asking that approximately $225,000 be returned to the Town. He noted that was 4
cents on the tax rate. He asked that the public speak out in support of this.
9. REPORT FROM THE TOWN ENGINEER
8:07: 14 PM Mr. Peterson remarked that the Town Engineer was away at a conference and not
present to provide a report.
10. REPORT FORM THE PLANNING DIRECTOR
8:07:26 PM Ms. Hauth called attention to the Top Enforcement Issues log sheet, noting they had
made good progress during the month of May. She said that most of the issue son that list would be
resolved by the end of June, and then next month new top priorities would come forward. She said
much work was focused on the Churton Street Corridor and wrapping it into the Strategic Growth
Plan, as well as starting on the Highway 70 Corridor. Ms. Hauth said they were also moving forward
5
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 6 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
with planning for Gold Park.
8:08: 19 PM Commissioner Gering said as we considered development projects in the past, recently
we had asked developers to demonstrate how they would provide green buildings or practices, and
we had achieved good results from that. But, he said, we could be a lot better if we incorporated
those concepts into our ordinances, and suggested we direct the Town staff to evaluate the time,
expense and effort to bring back suggested additions to the ordinances to make our developments
more green. Ms. Hauth said there were a wide variety of topics that could be included in making
things more green, so after the Board had had some time to think about it, the staff would like some
direction about how far to go. For instance, she said, did they want to consider just buildings or look
more inward towards redevelopment rather than just a green fields, and new development on
currently undeveloped property. Ms. Hauth said she could provide some recent articles regarding this
topic, and well as provide a local resource who could advise the Board regarding green building.
8: 10:29 PM Mayor Stevens said he believed the County was working on similar ordinances. Ms.
Hauth replied the County had adopted some Smart Growth and Green Building Principles for
buildings that they developed themselves, but was not sure if those principles had been integrated
into their County ordinances.
8: 10:48 PM Commissioner Dancy said a presentation had been given to the Council of
Governments regarding this, and suggested Ms. Hauth obtain that material.
8: 11 :27 PM Commissioner Gering said this was an opportunity to get ahead of the curve,
particularly since we were considering an overhaul of our zoning ordinances. Ms. Hauth said this
was an appropriate time since the Strategic Growth Plan was not yet completed. Commissioner
Gering agreed.
11. ITEMS FOR DECISION - CONSENT AGENDA
A. Consider approval of Meeting Minutes of the April 25, 2006 Joint Public Hearing; the May 8,

8: 12:39 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Lowen, the
Board voted to approve the Consent Agenda by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
12. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
Consent Agenda Item 11.E
8:13:13 PM Commissioner Hallman asked about the wording which stated, "Upon complaint by any
person or town police, any person upon any town parks after the park has closed may be asked to
leave. It shall be unlawful to remain upon the park during the time the park is closed after being
asked to leave by any police officer." Commissioner Hallman said that implied that it was not
unlawful to be there until you were asked to leave. He said that was not necessarily a bad way to do
it, but wanted to make sure of the intent.
Ms. Hauth said the intent was to make sure that it was understood that a person had to leave when
they were asked to leave, and that if they were peaceably there and not disturbing anyone, then the
Town may be flexible.
8: 13:48 PM Commissioner Hallman asked how best to write this to make it easier for the police to
enforce it. Police Chief Clarence Birkhead said they would like to the language to be as clean and
tight as possible. He said in many jurisdictions their public areas closed at dusk, but the more
specificity the better.
Commissioner Hallman said his interpreted this to mean that if someone was in a park at 3 a.m. they
were not breaking the law if they had not been asked to leave.
8: 15:07 PM Mayor Stevens asked if dusk was specific enough, or should a specific time be noted
for closure. Chief Birkhead said he did not believe other jurisdictions had trouble in enforcing that
language regarding dusk.
8: 15:42 PM Mr. Hornik asked if any of the parks provided parking spaces. Ms. Hauth said not at
this time. Mr. Hornik said he asked because in the draft at Paragraph C, Subsection 3-49, it said that,
"No person shall park, drive or ride motorized vehicles in any park." He suggested in terms of
planning for the future, if we did have parking lot you wanted to make sure that you were allowed to
drive your vehicle in the parking lot. Mr. Hornik said strictly interpreting this section, it would not
allow for that.
Ms. Hauth suggested adding language to say "outside of designated parking areas." Mr. Hornik said
that was exactly what he would suggest to correct that.
8: 16:34 PM Mayor Stevens asked if we could adjust that language now. Mr. Hornik said regarding
the issue brought up by Commissioner Hallman, he suggested removing the first sentence and amend
the second sentence so that the second paragraph reads, "It shall be unlawful to remain upon the park
7
June 12, 2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 8 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
during the time the park is closed." He said that removed the fact that if no one saw you there and no
one complained, you would not be breaking the law.
Mr. Hornik said then at Paragraph C, Subsection 3-49, it should read, "No person shall park, drive or
ride motorized vehicles in any park outside of designated parking areas unless performing
maintenance at the Town's request."
8: 18:39 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board voted to approve the ordinance amendment with the two amendments noted by Mr. Hornik by
a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
A. Discuss and Consider Adoption of the FY07 Budget and FY07-09 Financial Plan
8: 19:05 PM Mr. Peterson presented noted that after the last workshop, he had incorporated the
changes directed by the Board, and produced the tables included in the packet in order to make sure
everyone understood which items were being cut or deferred from the original recommendations,
which additions were being made, and the different tax rate scenarios proposed. He said after the
workshop the Board stated a preference for Scenarios 3 and 4, and therefore those two options were
provided in drafts of two different budget ordinances. Mr. Peterson said Option 3 indicated a 5.4-
cent tax increase that would bring the current tax rate up to 62 cents, and Option 4 was for 6.4 cents
that would make the tax rate 63 cents.
Mr. Peterson said Commissioner Lowen had brought up the possibility of exploring sidewalk
construction on Nash Street, and the Public Works Director and Assistant Manager had talked with
two different engineering companies about conducting a preliminary assessment to determine a cost
estimate. He said it would be a challenge to provide a sidewalk there because of the drainage. Mr.
Peterson said he did not yet know what the timeframe would be do bring that item back, but if
sometime during the fiscal year the Board decided to pursue a sidewalk there, we could do an
installment purchase to fund it. He said we could arrange the financing so that even if we were to
move as quickly as we could, we could arrange it so it would not be a debt service financing in FY07.
He said they could arrange it so that it was deferred to the next year. Mr. Peterson said that would
mean we would only have to come up with the funds for the preliminary design work in FY07.
8:22:33 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, it was
moved to adopt the budget as proposed in Scenario 3.
8:23:47 PM Commissioner Dancy said she had been out of town when these scenarios were
discussed. She said it was a tough decision between this year and next year, and what needed to be
cut or deferred. Commissioner Hallman said they had looked at the next several years and the effect
of Options 3 and 4, and if you looked at the fund balance the impact was not that great between the
two.
8:24:36 PM Commissioner Gering said he was pleased we were moving forward with sidewalks,
and funding some of these things now with Option 4 might actually put the sidewalk project in
jeopardy. He said he was reluctant to do that. Commission Lloyd said fund balance was her first
concern.
8
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 9 of 19
Minutes Approved: September 11,2006
8:26:03 PM Commissioner Hallman said he believed the Board had worked hard on this, and
believed that even though the tax rate would be raised 5.4 cents, all of us recognized that there were
segments of the Town that would get hit particularly hard. He said according to the recent census,
24% of the families in Hillsborough had incomes of under $25,000, so this was not something that
they did without a lot of consideration.
8:26:51 PM Mayor Stevens called for a vote. The motion to adopt Option 3 was declared passed
by a vote of 5-0.
B. Consider Approval of Plans Review, Complaint, Permit and Fire Inspection and Fee Schedule
8:27: 10 PM Mr. Peterson said the Fire Inspection and Fee Schedule was the same as previously
proposed, and complimented Jerry Wagoner, the Fire Marshal, for his hard work. He said the
schedule itself was a dramatic improvement over the existing schedule in that it actually gave
business owners an incentive to come into compliance.
8:28:28 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board voted to approve the Plans Review, Complaint, Permit, and Fire Inspection and Fee Schedule
by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
C. Consider Equipment Financing Bids and Resolution of Garbage Truck Purchase Financing
8:28:50 PM Mr. Peterson said this year's budget contained the purchase of a garbage truck so that
a currently-owned truck could be placed on back-up duty while it was still useable. He said they
were currently using a demo truck that had worked quite well.
8:29:48 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Dancy. The
Board to approve the Equipment Financing Bids and Resolution of Garbage Truck Purchase
Financing by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
D. Consider Approval of Water/Sewer Extension Contract for Ashton Hall
8:31 :25 PM Mr. Hornik said there needed to be a discussion of where we were headed before
action was taken on the next four issues having to do with Ashton Hall
8:31:34 PM Ms. Hauth said the applicants' response to the Board was included in the materials as
Attachment E. She stated the items were in the agenda in the order in which they needed to be acted
upon.
8:32:37 PM Commissioner Lowen said he believed it was a good project, and the right spot for it.
He said it had its challenges, but so did every project. Commissioner Lowen said he liked the plans,
adding he did not believe the commercial aspect was too large. He said it would be a nice additional
to Highway 70, and would like to see the project go forward.
8:33:22 PM Commissioner Hallman agreed, noting it was probably one of the best designed
9
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 10 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
developments they had seen, as far as layout and flare. He said he had printed out the latest water
capacity study after we added Ashton Hall, and if we approved this project we could not do much
else without finding another source of water. He said that would mean that any infill development or
any potential to do something in town would have to be deferred until another source of water was
found. Commissioner Hallman said the other part to this was that it would force us to look at funding
the second phase of the reservoir sooner than later.
Commissioner Hallman said the financial gain from this development was not that much when you
considered that we were giving up a precious resource. He said getting $600,000 from this project
was noting compared to that. Commissioner Hallman said the plans stated that the project would
provide $620,000 worth of capital facilities fees, but that was not profit, but went to pay for the cost
of the hook-ups to water and sewer.
Commissioner Hallman said if you looked at the financial analysis of adding to our tax base, it said
we would come out on top, but that was on the town side. He said the County, which provided the
remainder of the services, had stated that residential usage would not bring positive cash flow. He
said if we were going to give up water to a residential community that would cost us more and
prevent us from doing infill development on potential commercial sites that would bring a better tax
base to the Town, he could not support this project. Commissioner Hallman said it was a beautiful
project, but the wrong time for it.
8:36:35 PM Commissioner Dancy said she appreciated the applicants' suggestion of providing
$120,000 in matching funds, but she was not supportive of this project.
8:37:03 PM Commissioner Lloyd said she was very concerned about the water issue as well. She
said they had to work hard to get the first phase of the reservoir, and did not want to sacrifice it. She
said she was also concerned about the mixed use and the traffic. Commissioner Lloyd said she had
given this project as much time and consideration as any project she had ever considered, but did not
believe this project was appropriate at this time.
8:40:08 PM Commissioner Gering said he believed with the limited water capacity they had now,
and the stage they were in of defining what Hillsborough should look like through the Strategic
Growth Plan, he believed this would be a sub-optimal allocation of how to use that capacity. He said
he was setting a rather high standard for residential developments to clearly demonstrate improving
the quality of life for those already living here. Commissioner Gering said although he did not
believe we could get a better design, in this particular spot and with this particular size, he did not see
it meeting that standard.
Commissioner Gering said he had been surprised that the Orange County study on cost of services
pointed out that 77 cents of each tax dollar paid for services for residential development. He said
even though it appeared that this development was providing a financial benefit to Hillsborough, he
did not believe it did so on the larger context.
Commissioner Gering said in the future, at least for the Phase I part of the reservoir, that non-
residential development be considered only unless there was a residential development proposed that
would improve the quality of life in a significant way. He said he was not in favor of Ashton Hall.
10
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page II of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
8:42:30 PM Mayor Stevens summarized the comments by saying the Board approved of the
design, but were concerns about the water, some concern about the contribution that would be made,
and how it would impact the tax base, in that it would have a neutral to a negative impact. He said he
was hearing agreement among the Board that they were disinclined to approve this project.
8:43:36 PM Mr. Hornik said the Board should take action on the water and sewer extension first,
and then the annexation petition. He said he was most concerned with a new procedure, noting that
before the Board took any action on zoning map amendments, the Statute required that the Board
give its reasons for why the Board considered such action reasonable and in the public interest. He
said that needed to be made a part of any normal statement adopted pursuant to Section 168-383 in
the State Statutes.
8:45:03 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board moved to deny the water and sewer extension by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared
passed.
E. Consideration of an Ordinance annexing 118 acres on the north side of US 70A - Ashton Hall
(TMBL 4.37.C.21 & 4.40.B.l)
8:45:41 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Dancy, to
deny the voluntary annexation petition by a vote of 4-1, with Commissioner Lowen opposing. The
motion was declared passed.
F. Consideration of an ordinance zoning 118 acres on the north side of US 70A from County R-l
to Entranceway Special Use - Ashton Hall (TMBL 4.37 .C.21 & 4.40.B.l)
8:46: 17 PM Mr. Hornik said before the Board took action on this, the Board had to consider a
statement of consistency, a draft of which was provided with tonight's materials. He said it would
have to be modified to state reasons for the Board's decision of denial.
8:46:51 PM Commissioner Gering stated one reason for denial was that the project would not be
served water and sewer, and therefore was not an appropriate land use.
8:47:27 PM Commissioner Hallman added it was not accretive to the general financial health of
the Town.
8:48: 14 PM Ms. Hauth asked if it would be appropriate to add that because the Board had opted
not to annex it, it was therefore not in our planning jurisdiction so we could not zone it. Mr. Hornik
agreed.
8:48:43 PM Commissioner Hallman said regarding health and welfare, the issue of traffic impacts
on adjoining and nearby highway network.
8:49:43 PM Mr. Hornik said he had heard four reasons for denial: insufficient water and sewer
capacity available to serve the property and no agreement for providing those services; the project
II

Page 12 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
was not accretive to the financial well-being of the Town; the property was not within the
Hillsborough corporate limits or planning jurisdiction; and. concerns had been raised regarding the
traffic impacts on adjoining and nearby highway network. He said those four reasons would be the
reasons for denial of the rezoning request under Section 168-383 of the State Statutes.
8:50:04 PM Commissioner Gering asked didn't the fact that we had no authority to do this trump
everything else. He said Ms. Hauth's point that it was not within our authority to rezone it said
everything. Ms. Hauth said it was helpful to complete the whole process and cover all issues.
8:51:20 PM Commissioner Hallman said the applicants had not followed through on the general
values of the Town regarding affordable housing. Commissioner Lloyd said they had offered a
payment-in-lieu of the Habitat sewer line, but it made it appear that they did not want affordable
homes living there. She said that any development should welcome anyone to live there, and she was
concerned that people who now live in Town would not live there.
8:52:53 PM Mr. Hornik said he would add a fifth reason that affordable housing had not been
adequately addressed.
8:54:06 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Dancy, the
Board moved to approve the Statement containing five reasons for denial by a vote of 5-0. The
motion was declared passed.
8:54:26 PM Mr. Hornik said the Board now needed to take action to deny the zoning request.
8:54:30 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board moved to deny the rezoning request by a vote of 4-1, with Commissioner Lowen voting nay.
The motion was declared passed.
G. Consideration of a resolution approving a Special Use Permit to authorize Ashton Hall, a 118
acre development on the north side of US 70 A across from the Sportsplex to contain 272
dwellings with a recreation center and 20,000 sf of office and retail uses at the western
entrance (TMBL 4.37.C.21 & 4.40.B.l)
8:54:55 PM Mr. Hornik noted that the last page in the materials for this item was the resolution for
denial of the SUP. He reiterated the two general reasons for denial, noting that the project did not
conform to the zoning ordinance because the Board had not amended the zoning ordinance to allow
it, as a result of denial of the annexation petition.
8:57:50 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Dancy, the
Board voted to deny the Special Use Permit by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
H. Consider approval of Water/Sewer Extension Contract for Corbinton Commons
8:58:48 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board voted to approve the Water/Sewer Extension Contract by a vote of 5-0. The motion was
declared passed.

1. Consideration of a resolution modifying a Special Use Permit for Corbinton Commons to
allow the construction of Multi-unit Assisted Housing with Services in place of the assisted
living center
8:59:39 PM Ms. Hauth stated a few changes had been made using cross-outs to reflect updated
plans, with new language from the Settlement Agreement shown in italics.
9:00:06 PM Mr. Hornik noted the language was nearly verbatim from the Settlement Agreement.
Ms. Hauth said they had left in the previous condition 13 regarding the HUD 202 enough though
through the passage of time it was no longer in effect. Mr. Hornik said in the Settlement Agreement
they had not indicated that condition's removal, so for clarity it was left in.
9:00:57 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board voted to approve the resolution by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
J. Review of Mission Statement for the US 70 Corridor Work Group and appointment of
volunteers from the corridor
9:01 :31 PM Ms. Hauth said there was a list provided in the materials of the people who had
volunteered at the May 23 meeting, noting there were three residents and three business owners. She
said she had drafted a scope of work for consideration. Ms. Hauth said the EDC had promised that
the first meeting of this Work Group would be in June, so we would like to handle this expeditiously
She noted that Toby Vandermark from the Planning Board had agreed to serve.
9:02:47 PM Commissioner Lowen said he knew for identification purposes this was the US 70
corridor, but it was in our city limits and its name was Cornelius Street. He said it was appropriate
that it be referred to by that name.
9:03:34 PM Commissioner Gering said the corridor would extend beyond Cornelius Street.
Commissioner Lowen asked if we would have any control over that. Ms. Hauth said if it went
eastward to Saint Mary's Road it would still be in our jurisdiction. She said it was possible by having
the two different names it would help people to distinguish between the western and the eastern and
phase I and phase 11.
9:04:01 PM Mayor Stevens said language was very powerful, and how we name things talked
about how we thought about things. He said he liked the suggestion.
9:04: 16 PM Commissioner Hallman said that people outside the area know it as US 70, so for
marketing purposes it was US 70.
9:04:31 PM Commissioner Lowen suggested calling it the US 70 Cornelius Corridor.
9:04:48 PM Commissioner Gering said he was excited about this, noting it would add value to
Hillsborough. He said in many ways this was an extension of all that work, and he would like to
participate.
13
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting

Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
9:05:05 PM Commissioner Hallman said that whoever the Board appointed to this Work Group
would become the de facto chair, and that person would have to lead this group. He said he would be
involved as the EDC representative, but wanted to make it clear that we did not want this to become
just another task force. Commissioner Hallman said he would support appointment of Commissioner
Gering given his work on the Churton Street task force.
9:06: 19 PM Commissioner Hallman said if there were no objections, he suggested that
Commissioner Lowen and Commissioner Gering serve as co-chairs. Commissioner Lowen said he
believed that would work fine, and supported that recommendation.
9:07:03 PM Ms. Hauth said the Board would need to adopt a mission and a slate of members, and
then note who the Town representations were.
9:07:41 PM Mayor Stevens said then the comprehensive motion would be to adopt this in
principle, appointing the volunteers, and appointment Commissioner Lowen and Commissioner
Gering as co-chairs of the work group.
9:07:56 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board voted to approve the scope of work, appoint the volunteers as listed in the materials, and
designate Commissioner Lowen and Commissioner Gering as co-chairs of the work group by a vote
of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
K. Receive request from the Parks and Recreation Board to fully integrate archeology into the
development review process
9:08:26 PM Ms. Hauth said in the January workshop Tom Magnuson has raised the issue of
protecting archeological resources through more documentation during development review and
during public maintenance projects. She said the Parks and Recreation Board had discussed this at its
last meeting and endorsed the concept of amending the ordinance to comprehensively include the
protection of our archeological resources as we reviewed developments.
9:09:49 PM Mr. Hornik explained that there was no authority in the Town Code or Zoning
Ordinance that would speak to this. He said that the General Statutes say that the Town Board had
the authority to adopt regulations about how land and buildings in the Town might be used, but no
specific language authorizing zoning regulations that say you could consider archeology as well. Mr.
Hornik said there was broader language that said you could consider how land may be appropriately
be used as well as land, with the general power to oversee the health, safety, and welfare of the
community and assure proper development of the land.
Mr. Hornik said that language would allow the Board to do this, but it would require some text
amendments to the zoning ordinance to redefine our purposes and under what circumstances we may
require an archeological study. He suggested there might be an overlay district the Board would want
to create in certain areas, or even have the regulations apply to certain types of development. Mr.
Hornik said it could be as broad as the Board wanted.
14
June 12, 2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 15 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
Mr. Hornik said there were various ways to approach this, and wanted some guidance from the Board
so that they would develop some language that was workable.
9: 12:03 PM Mayor Stevens said in principle he was supportive of this, noting it was important to
preserve landscape just as we do our buildings. He said the County was looking at this as well, so we
might want to coordinate with them to make it reasonable. Mayor Stevens said at the same time, we
did not want to make it so burdensome that it costs too much time or money.
Mayor Stevens said there was really no place that was not potentially an archeological site, so it made
sense to have some kind of preliminary review or some inclusion in a site plan that there be at least
some study that addressed this, and that there was a trigger for when you had to go deeper.
9: 13:25 PM Commissioner Dancy not to hinder this, but said the people who looked at this and
decided that something was of historical significance or value to the town, then what would happen to
that person's property?
9: 13:54 PM Commissioner Gering sand he was supportive of this, but he would like to see
analyzed before we make any decisions was to what extent it made sense to identify areas or
boundaries where we want to focus our attention, because he was concerned that this could become
burdensome. He said there were many places where there was no justification for this.
Commissioner Gering said at the same time if we could identify potentially sensitive areas, then we
could begin with the presumption that the developer needed to make this extra step.
9: 14:43 PM Mr. Hornik stated that was precisely why he had thought of the overlay district
concept being applied here. He said in this part of the County you continually discovered something
of historical significance, and whether we wanted to do it for every application or only for the areas
where we were most concerned about preserving what was there was, was the reason he had brought
up the idea of overlay districts.
9: 16:01 PM Commissioner Lowen agreed, noting he would like to see some text amendment
language that the Board could look at closely. He said as far as housing affordability, he would not
like to see this become a burden on that, from a financial or time standpoint. He said if someone
wanted to build a home on a small lot, he would not want to require that an archeological study be
done on that property.
9: I 7:09 PM Commissioner Gering said he would like to have the staff bring back, along with a set
of options, was an estimate of how much it would cost someone to perform an archeological study,
whether it was the Town or a landowner. Ms. Hauth said they would work on providing several
different options of ways to pursue these issues, and then bring them back to the Board for
discussion. She asked for guidance as to when to bring this back to the Board.
9: 18:23 PM Commissioner Lowen suggested placing this along with the other amendments being
considered. Ms. Hauth said they could work on some options first so that they would know where to
focus the rewrite of the ordinance.
Mayor Stevens suggested that Mr. Magnuson would provide some expertise with that. He said we
15
June 12, 2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 16 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
may have to think about staging, because there was an ideal of what the Board would really like to
have, but if there was one thing we could do immediately then we could be the rest in stages.
L. Request from staff to authorize seeking an injunction regarding continuing sign violations at
Larry King Chevrolet
9:20: 19 PM Ms. Hauth noted they had been having issues regarding the use of temporary signs
since October of 2005, and unfortunately the business owner had been non-responsive.
Mr. Hornik said they wanted the Board's authorization to take the next more step in seeking an
injunction. He said basically what was happening was the business owner would get cited, and since
the zoning ordinance gave a person ten days to correct the violation, the owner would come into
compliance on the ninth day, then after a brief wait would replace the signs.
Mr. Hornik said what they were seeking was some injunctive relief from the court to put a stop to
this.
9:22:06 PM Mayor Stevens asked was there any downside to this. Mr. Hornik said the worst that
would happen was that the court said no to the injunctive relief.
9:22: 19 PM Commissioner Gering said he was in favor of this, noting he recalled a previous
discussion involving revision the sign ordinance that would make penalties more immediate and
perhaps harsher, and asked what the timeframe was for that to come before the Board. Ms. Hauth
responded it might be ready for the July hearing, if language could be crafted by that time.
9:22:56 PM Commissioner Hallman said it appeared that we turned a blind eye to these violations
over the weekend. He said that was when we had the most visitors and it had the most negative
impact. Ms. Hauth said it was mainly real estate signs, noting that most of the subdivision realtors
had waited to put their small direction signs up at the start of the weekend. She said they had tried to
provide such allowances to this particular business, but as the Board could see from the pictures in
the materials, the violations continued through the week.
9:24: 15 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board voted to approve a request from staff to authorize seeking an injunction regarding continuing
sign violations at Larry King Chevrolet by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
M. Hot Topic items for June: Presentation of Churton Street Corridor Plan
9:24:35 PM Ms. Hauth said she would like to have twenty minutes at the June workshop to provide
a PowerPoint presentation on the Church Street Corridor Plan, and would provide copies of the draft
plan for review.
9:26:04 PM Commissioner Gering asked the Board to come early, by 6:00 p.m., to allow time to
look at all of the displays prior to the beginning of the meeting.
9:26:56 PM Ms. Hauth said it was an unusually process to open public comment on a draft plan,
16
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 17 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
noting they had a page set up on the website so that people should email their comments directly to
the Planning staff.
9:27:39 PM Commissioner Hallman asked would it be possible to include some of the Strategic
Growth Plan maps at that time. Ms. Hauth responded she could try, but she feared it may be
confusing for the public.
9:27:59 PM Commissioner Lloyd asked if they needed to be at the workshop at 6:00 p.m. to see
the presentation. Ms. Hauth responded no, that it would be shown at 7:30 at the start of the
workshop. But, she noted, there would be displays set up that the Board might want to see. She said
much of it would be in the documents sent to the Board.
9:28:38 PM Mr. Peterson asked if for those Board members arriving early, would they like to have
a light dinner provided. He said they could provide something in the Town Hall. The Board was in
general agreement with that idea.
N. Discuss Requesting Applicant for Old NC 86 Commons to pay for a consultant's Review of
the Master Plan
9:29:41 PM Ms. Hauth stated that Commissioner Gering has asked that this be placed on the
agenda to see whether or not there were some items that needed to be reviewed by an outside
resource, and believed from the list of items that the Planning Board had discussed that a fair number
of those items could be reviewed by an outside consultant. Ms. Hauth said the Planning Board had
compiled a list of items for which they wanted additional evidence in the record, noting some were
easy and could be provided by staff, but some were best done by an outside resource who could
provide an independent, professional and neutral opinion.
9:31: 16 PM Mr. Hornik stated that our code did not specifically provide for an applicant paying for
this, but there were other codes that did. He said one of the reasons he believed it was appropriate
and proper for us to assess the cost of this back to the applicant was that this was one of those
applicants that required annexation, rezoning, and special use with a master plan. He said it would be
in the applicant's best interest to help the Town address these issues if the applicant expected the
Board to perhaps take positive action on the application. Mr. Hornik said there ought to be
motivation for the applicant to try to satisfy the Board if the applicant wanted positive action on the
application. Mr. Hornik said he believed this was a reasonable request.
9:32:43 PM Ms. Hauth said she had two questions, the first being was there anything on this list
that needed to be added or embellished to more fully meet questions the Board might had. The
second, she said, was asking for clarification on the process of selecting and retaining a consultant.
Ms. Hauth said this would be on the July agenda, but depending on the Board's involvement that
might be too tight a timeframe. For instance, she said, the Board might want to be involved in
selection of the consultant to perform the review.
9:33:26 PM Mayor Stevens said it was reasonable to have this request, but if that delayed the
public hearing then they would delay it.
17
June 12,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 18 of 19
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
9:33:54 PM Ms. Hauth asked if the Board wanted to be involved in selecting the consultant. There
was general agreement from the Board that they did not want to participate in that selection. Ms.
Hauth noted she would be involved in that selection, and would make sure the applicant was aware of
what was happening.
9:35:28 PM Commissioner Hallman asked if we could do the same thing with the transportation
study, noting that when that study was done could we provide a list of questions or issues. Ms. Hauth
said we had submitted one with the application, but another one could be prepared as well.
Commissioner Hallman noted that in future he wanted the Board to drive that process. Ms. Hauth
said she would circulate the NCDOT letter to the Board, and if there was something that was
unsatisfactory they could address it then.
9:36:25 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Dancy, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the
Board moved to go into Closed Session by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
13.
CLOSED SESSION
A. Closed Session as authorized by North Carolina General Statute Section 143-318.11 (3) to
meet with Town Attorney regarding potential Litigation with Construction Supervision
Services, Inc.
Mr. Peterson presented an overview. He noted that Mr. Keel had informed him that the manufacturer
would take care of all damages.
B. Closed Session to Discuss a Personnel Matter
Mr. Peterson presented an overview of the investigation of the Public Works Department that had
resulted in a recommendation to terminate Bill Leake, Assistant Public Works Supervisor. He stated
Mr. Leake had until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow to appeal that recommendation. The Police investigation
turned up multiple occasions where inmates were stealing from the Town. Employees had reported
this to Mr. Leake, who in turn had never reported it to anyone. An employee had money stolen and
reported it to Mr. Leake, who did not report it or take any action regarding it. Both Donna and the
Nurse informed Bill that employees and inmates were not using safety glasses. Mr. Leake did
nothing. He allowed employees to take signs, salt, gravel, etc. During the ice storm in 2003 Mr.
Potts received a report from a contractor stating that an employee was trying to extort money from
them. An investigation revealed it was it was Mr. Leake. He has given away mulch to employees
and allowed employees to have keys to a backhoe. He has been verbally abusing employees and
inmates. The prison has revoked his supervision privileges for his verbal abuse of inmates. Mr.
Peterson reported that Mr. Potts had a strong case for termination.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board voted to
move into open session by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
14.
ADJOURN
Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Gering, the Board voted to

Supplemental lnfonnation on the FY07 General Fund Budget for the June 5th Budget
Workshop
In response to directives provided by the Town Board during the first two budget workshops, the Town Manager
prepared three (3) worksheets to assist the Board in their analysis and pending deliberations for the upcoming
June 51h Budget Workshop (that will follow the Joint Public Hearing with the Planning Board):
. Adjustments to ProPoull FY07 General Fund EX/Jefl{iitures: This table shows the cuts, deferments,
and additions (of substance) that have been made to the original Budget Workbook. Please review the
table to make sure the list accurately reflects changes the Board wants made to the original workbook.
. Tax Rate Scenarios & Impacts B~' Fiscal Year - The Board requested that a wide range of tax rate
,,"-' options be developed to aid in assessing the implications on the Town's financial condition over the
next three years. This table presents six (6) different tax rate options over FYs07-09 and shows their
affect on projected annual surplus or deficits, the available fund balance at the end of each fiscal year,
and the fund balance percent of annual operating expenditures. The fund balance percentage is an
important statistic since it is widely viewed as the most salient indicator of a local govemment's fiscal
health. This worksheet also includes a small table at the bottom that shows the tax rate assumptions by
fiscal year for each of the scenarios.
. FY2007 Tax Rate Scenarios - This table shows the impact of the various scenarios. with their proposed
FY07 tax rate on the projected deficit. In addition, the impact of each scenario on the projected fund
balance levels for FYs07-09 is included.
Town Manae:er's Comments
Scenarios #3 and #4 are the most viable and practical given the picture the Financial Plan is currently painting.
Traditionallv, due to slightly conservative budgeting and ~ood expenditure control by departments during the
year. the Town's financial picture tends to be better than what is proiected in the model. Hence. adopting the
lIlore drastic Scenarios #5 or #6 is not likely necessary at this time. Scenarios #3 and #4 provide ample funding
to safely get through FY07 and still provide the Board plenty of time to take corrective action in the form of
adjustments via additional expenditure cuts, deferments, and/or tax rate increases to address the Town's future
operational and financial needs. It is the Town Manager's opinion that Scenarios # I and #2 are insufficient to
meet the current/projected levels of service, thus it would be risky and ill-advised to consider these two
scenarios. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like additional information.
Thanks!
