2. AUDIENCE COMMENTS REGARDING MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA
7:26: 11 PM Steve Piscatelli, a member of the Board of Directors of the Hillsborough Youth Athletic
Association (HY AA), spoke about the Town's possible purchase of the Collins land where four of their
six fields were located. He provided some background about HY AA's activities and the youth they
served. Mr. Piscatelli said they had two objectives; one was to raise awareness and to express their
concern about the sale of this property. He said if the land were sold it would not be available to them for
their activities. Mr. Piscatelli said they second objective was to let the Town know they wanted to work
with the Town Board and the County Commissioners to try and preserve those fields, and if possible to
expand and add one or two more fields.
7:28:50 PM Earl Tye, President of the HY AA, provided additional information regarding the
Association's activities and services to youth. He said they had just completed their 35th season, and had
enjoyed support from both the County and the Town over the years, as well support from the community.
Me. Tye said this past season they had 47 teams consisting of children ranging in ages 5 through 15, all of
whom were sponsored by a Hillsborough business. He suggested working together and finding a
permanent home for the HY AA, noting it was an opportunity for a public/private partnership.
Mr. Tye noted they had been talking about a permanent home for HY AA for some time, noting that last
fall they had actually brainstormed on land planning for the current and additional fields and the
construction of permanent facilities. He said they were eager to work with the Town, adding that they
taught teamwork and sportsmanship, and did not turn any child away.

objectives, and had identified several areas where staff was asked to come back with additional data. He
said they had taken a tour of the corridor on Saturday morning, which had proven to be an eye-opening
experience.
8. REPORT FROM THE TOWN MANAGER
7:41:40 PM Assistant Town Manager/Public Works Director Demetric Potts reported on behalf of
Finance Director Greg Siler that prior to enrolling in the NC Debt Setoff Program 2 years ago, the town
did nothing about collecting bad water debt. Since enrolling in the Debt Setoff Program, the town has
collected some $30,500 in bad water debt. Approximately $11,000 was collected in the first year and
$19,500 was collected this year. The bulk of the money, $24,900 was collected by garnishing State Tax
Returns. The other $5,600 was sent in by the customer as a result of receiving a Setoff letter. This
program costs the Town nothing. All charges due the Clearinghouse are added to the bad debt balance
and paid by the debtor. Letters are typed and mailed by existing staff during the regular work day.

9. REPORT FROM THE TOWN ENGINEER
7:44:38 PM Town EngineerlUtilities Director Kenny Keel said the West Fork Reservoir was now full
and had been since mid-December. He said that water is overflowing through the spillway. Mr. Keel
said no water restrictions were in place, noting they had been lifted on June 19th. Me. Keel said Lake
Orange was also full at last report.
Mr. Keel noted the Cates Creek Outfall was underway, with blasting occurring along the route. He said
that pipe installation was expected to start in early August. Mr. Keel said only one easement remained
unsecured within the Phase 2 section of the outfall, near 1-40, and they were working on a resolution.
He added that no condemnation filings had been necessary so far.
Mr. Keel said regarding the sewer rehabilitation, they were in receipt of the smoke testing and
inspections in the Southern Seasons mill area and West Hillsborough, and were working on correcting
deficiencies in the system. He said they had located a major sewer line collapse behind the commercial
buildings east of Churton Street, between Tryon and King Streets, and had replaced the failed section of
pIpe.
7:47:08 PM Responding to a question from Commissioner Gering regarding the WWTP/Durham PS
Study, Mr. Keel stated that if any additional information were received he would share that with the
Board. He said they had held their kick-off meeting and held their first monthly progress meeting,
noting they meet every month to discuss progress. Mr. Keel said they were currently evaluating what
they had and evaluating current facilities.
7:49:23 PM Responding to a comment from Commissioner Lloyd, Mr. Keel said we had experienced
no reportable sewage spills since his June report, but had experienced some high water levels at some of
the flood stations.
10. REPORT FORM THE PLANNING DIRECTOR
7:50:43 PM Planning Director Margaret Hauth stated they had contracted with Triangle J Council of

7:53:45 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Gering, the Board
voted to approve the Consent Agenda as amended to remove item #11.C by a vote of 5-0. The motion
was declared passed.
12. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
A. Request from KDK Management to address the Board on behalf of Heritage Townhomes of
Hillsborough Homeowners Association
7:54:06 PM Mayor Stevens noted that the Heritage Town Homeowners Association had asked to
address the Board. Joy Harris, Community Executive Manager of KDK Property Management and
representing the Heritage Townhome owners, stated that the original plans for their development
showed 20 garage units, 6 of which were to be handicapped accessible. She said there was also to be 40
feet between the curb and the garage units. Ms. Harris stated the developer submitted a permit to build
18 garage units, which was approved. She said there was suppose to be 2 spaces per unit and 1 space
per every 5 units.
Ms. Harris said the developer constructed only 14 garage units, 4 of which were handicapped accessible,
and there was only 36 feet between the curb and garage units. She said there were only 57 parking
spaces in the community of which 3 were designated for handicapped parking. Ms. Harris said they
believed that the developer did not provide property parking for the community, and wanted the
developer to be required to add parking behind the garage units to come into compliance.
Ms. Hauth noted that part of the problem was that the applicant had not built what was planned, and the
Town had not conducted an on-site inspection to ensure that the applicant did what was promised.
8:07:27 PM Mayor Stevens noted that the Board would not consider item 12.N.
12.N Consider approval of Water/Sewer Extension Contract for Wilkerson Development (CCD
Corp.)
8:07:34 PM Mr. Keel noted that the existing water and sewer lines would require some minor
extension to serve the Wilkerson development. He said the Town desired that the project contribute to
4
July 10, 2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 5 of 15
Minutes Approved: September 11,2006
the Thalle Sewer Outfall construction, which the Town was subsidizing. Me. Keel noted that the
contract was our basic agreement with some project specific modifications.
Mr. Keel noted that this project needed an approved Water/Sewer Extension Contract prior to
annexation in order to ensure that the project contributed to the Thalle Sewer Outfall construction,
which will cross the property. He said the project was adjacent to existing Town water and sewer, and
the extension of lines to serve the project should be straightforward, although no preliminary plans had
been submitted.
Mr. Keel noted that the Town would save $59,850, or be reimbursed that amount, by requiring the
developer to pay their share of the Thalle Outfall project. He said the Town would incur some minor
operation and maintenance costs upon placing these line extensions in service, but the cost would be
more than offset by the water and sewer billings to the new customers.
8:14:41 PM Ms. Hauth said until they were annexed they could not be zoned, and until they were
zoned they would not know how to comply. Ms. Hauth stated that if there were a property that needed
to construct a significant extension in order to reach it, you would not see it moving along on that
extension without seeing the development of the property. She said that was why she had asked what
was meant by using the allotment, noting that building a line to the property was different.
8: 16:27 PM Mayor Stevens said it seemed like a promising strategy if we could add this to that whole
package, and find an appropriate time to work on that.
8:20: 11 PM Commissioner Hallman moved, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board moved to
approve the Water/Sewer Extension Contract for the Wilkerson Development by a vote of 5-0. The
motion was declared passed.
B. Consideration of an ordinance to annex 38.58 acres owned by CCD Corp on the west side of NC
57 between Rabbit Drive and Stroud's Creek Rd. (TMBL 4.44..1, Ib)
8:20:33 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to approve the annexation of 38.58 acres owned by CCD Corp. on the west side of NC 57
between Rabbit Drive and Stroud's Creek Road by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
C. Consideration of an ordinance to zone 38.58 acres on the west side on NC 57 between Rabbit
Drive and Stroud's Creek Rd as Light Industrial (TMBL 4.44..1, Ib)
8:21 :47 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to approve the Town Board's Statement per NC General Statute 160A-383 that the Board has
determined that the proposed rezoning of 38.58 acres of newly annexed property on the west side of NC
57 between Rabbit Drive and Stroud's Creek Road to Light Industrial is consistent with the Town's
Comprehensive Plan, and that the Town Board's proposed action on the amendment is reasonable and in
the public interest for the reasons stated on the Statement by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared
passed.

8:21: 17 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to enact the ordinance to rezone 38.58 acres on the west wide of NC 57 between Rabbit Drive
and Stroud's Creek Road as Light Industrial by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
8:25:01 PM Mayor Stevens noted that the Board would consider item #11.C at this time.
1l.C. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Town Code Section 12-4 False Alarms, Section 12-15
Fire Lanes, Section 12-23 Fire Prevention Inspection Fee Established, Section 12-24 Penalties and
Remedies
8:25:08 PM Mr. Potts noted he had a change to make in the proposed working of Section 12-15
regarding Fire Lanes. He said in subparagraph (e), he proposed striking the phrase "and or guideline"
from that subsection so that it was adopted as a requirement. Me. Potts said his second suggested
amendment was to Section 12-23, having to do with Fire Prevention Inspection Fees. He said in
subparagraph (a), he proposed to omit the last sentence that read, "The current fee schedule was adopted
June 12, 2006."
8:26:53 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Gering, seconded by Commissioner Lowen, the Board
moved to enact an Ordinance to Amend Town Code Section 12-4 False Alarms, Section 12-15 Fire
Lanes, Section 12-23 Fire Prevention Inspection Fee Established, Section 12-24 Penalties and Remedies
by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
8:27: 15 PM Mayor Stevens noted that the Board had agreed to consider the budget amendment at this
time.
8:27:30 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the
Board moved to approve the budget amendment by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
D. Consideration of an ordinance to amend the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to create "outlet
sales" as a permitted use in the GI and LI districts
8:28: 15 PM Ms. Hauth noted that Vietri had approached the Town regarding a text amendment to
allow them to create a regularly opened outlet sales store at their Elizabeth Brady Road warehouse. She
noted that the proposed language had been discussed at the June 5 public hearing. Ms. Hauth stated that
the Planning Board had unanimously recommended approval of this change, including the re-write of
the definition so the first phrase was a complete sentence. She remarked this amendment would allow
the Town's distribution and manufacturing businesses to offer limited sales of their products on their
sites.
8:30:04 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to enact the ordinance to amend the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to create "outlet sales" as a
permitted use in the GI and LI districts by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
E. Consideration of an ordinance to amend the Section 3.8 of the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to
authorize special exception permits from building heights
6
July 10,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 7 of 15
Minutes Approved: September II, 2006
8:30: 13 PM Ms. Hauth explained that this amendment to Section 3.8 of the Zoning Ordinance would
authorize special exemption permits from building heights. She said that Orange County had filed an
application to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow the proposed justice facility expansion as designed.
Ms. Hauth noted that presently the height limit in the Office/Institutional zone was 40 feet, noting there
were not clear records to indicate how or why this height was selected. She stated that when the
ordinance was written, height limits ranged from 35 feet to 60 feet and had remained mostly unchanged.
Ms. Hauth said the text amendment would apply to most County and Town facilities within the Town as
well as Triangle Hospice and the office on East Corbin Street. She said that only buildings constructed
prior to 1986 would be eligible to apply.
Ms. Hauth stated that the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of this amendment, with
the addition of Section 6 requiring Historic District Commission approval prior to Board of Adjustment
review for buildings within the Historic District.
8:30:57 PM Upon a motion by Commission Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, the Board
moved to approve the ordinance to amend the Section 3.8 of the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to
authorize special exception permits from building heights by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared
passed.
F. Consideration of an ordinance to amend the Town Code to amend the definition of "junk car"
8:31:22 PM Ms. Hauth noted approval of this ordinance would amend the Town Code to amend the
definition of '~unk car." She said the amendment was proposed by staff to correct conflicting language
in the Zoning Ordinance and the Town Code, as well as to introduce limited flexibility to the previous
zero tolerance policy.
Ms. Hauth said currently there were 47 properties in violation of the current ordinance language that
defined junk cars to include those without current tags and inspections. She said the vast majority of
these cars appear simply to be parked on the resident's property, with no outward sign that they are not
routinely used. Ms. Hauth said this ordinance amendment would allow resident's more flexibility to
keep a car with a reasonable appearance on their property.
8:32:33 PM Commissioner Gering said he would entertain revisiting this ordinance, noting there may
be specific cases that might violate the ordinance but were not considered a nuisance in the
neighborhood.
8:33:58 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Hallman, the Board
moved to approve the ordinance to amend the Town Code to amend the definition of "junk car" by a
vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
G. Consideration of an ordinance to amend the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to have the
definition of a "junk car" to match the Town Code definition
7
July 10,2006 Regular Board Meeting
Page 8 of 15
Minutes Approved: September 11, 2006
8:34: 10 PM Ms. Hauth stated this ordinance would amend the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to have
the definition of a "junk car" match the Town Code definition. She said that this amendment referred
directly to language in the Town Code to limit the chance for the two documents to get out of sync in
the future.
8:34:33 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Lowen, seconded by Commissioner Gering, the Board
moved to enact the ordinance to amend the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance to have the definition of a
"junk car" to match the Town Code definition by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
H. Consideration of contract amendments with Site Solutions, Inc. to change the scope and focus to
Gold Park
8:34:46 PM Ms. Hauth stated that the Town currently had a contract with Site Solutions of Charlotte
to prepare construction drawings of Riverwalk and a concept plan for Gold Park. She said since the
Town shifted focus to Gold Park for the PARTF application, additional design work was needed to
move forward with construction at Gold Park. Ms. Hauth said the proposed contract amendments would
accomplish that.
Ms. Hauth said the existing contract with Site Solutions was for $49,000, of which $32,100 had been
paid. She said the fees in the new contract were part of the budgeted figure for Gold Park.
8:37:01 PM Upon a motion by Commissioner Hallman, seconded by Commissioner Lowen, the Board
moved to approve the contract amendments with Site Solutions, Inc. to change the scope and focus to
Gold Park by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed.
I. Review and discussion of proposed enforcement schedule for the Crocker family property on US
70 Bypass
8:37:50 PM Ms. Hauth said the Board had directed the staff to investigate methods to address
numerous violations and concerns at the property adjacent to the Kerr Drug on US 70 Bypass. She
noted that the Hillsborough Minimum Housing Code can be used in the ETJ and does address the
concerns about building safety, occupancy without utilities, junk accumulation, and others present on
the property. Ms. Hauth said since this property was highly visible, a Board priority, currently occupied
and owned by both local and distant heirs, the staff wanted to inform the Board of the steps and
time frame the staff intended to use to bring the property into compliance.
Ms. Hauth noted that to the best of their knowledge the structure was currently occupied by family
members without any utility services, noting the integrity of the structure was of great concern. She said
they wanted to ensure the building was secured or removed prior to the onset of cold weather, which
would heighten the concern for fire on the property. Ms. Hauth remarked that it was very likely the
Town would have to be actively engaged in removing the violations and structure from this site to
ensure long-term compliance, and that would likely require the entire code enforcement budget for this
fiscal year.

J. Provide direction to staff regarding zoning enforcement action at 229 West Tryon Street
8:48:20 PM Ms. Hauth noted that this address was the location of the modular office being used by
Orange County Schools for the Partnership Academy. She said one condition of the permit to allow the
continued presence of the building was that the building would be removed and the site returned to its
original condition by June 30, 2006. Ms. Hauth stated the School Board had petitioned the Board of
Adjustment for a time extension to allow the completion of the new building. Since all Board of
Adjustment actions carry a supermajority vote, she said, the motion to extend the time to December
failed with only three positive votes, when four were required.
Ms. Hauth stated the deadline had passed, and it was her understanding that the building was empty and
not in use. She said that as of the morning of July 5, Orange County had notified the leasing agent that
the structure needed to be removed, and all of their property had been removed from the building. Ms.
Hauth said she had requested to be kept updated on the status.
8:49:56 PM Commissioner Gering said he was disappointed that they had to contact the County
Schools to find out the status of this. He said the trailer would be moved and the neighbors would be
pleased, but it was an unfortunate situation. He said we could fine them, but then taxpayers' money
goes from one pocket to the other, which does not accomplish anything. Commissioner Gering said we
could set a better example than that.
8:51: 18 PM Commissioner Gering said just as information there had been talk that the structure
would be demolished and the area used as a small park. He said he hoped that something nice would be
placed there.
K. Receive Planning Director's recommendation about changes to scheduling and organization
topics to implement a number of Board directives
8:52:34 PM Ms. Hauth said her memorandum to the Board highlighted the various items of interest or
concern to various advisory boards. She noted those issues include design, scheduling, site plan
reviews, some board responsibilities, and advisory board missions. Ms. Hauth proposed a more
comprehensive, but short term, study of these topics together.
For example, Ms. Hauth said, as we prepare to re-write the Zoning Ordinance, we can investigate the
advisability of also creating and adopting a design manual to integrate many of the provisions of the
Churton Street Plan, Strategic Growth Plan, and other design components the Town is interested in.
Ms. Hauth recommended that the Board appoint a working group off Town Board and advisory board
members to propose changes that address the concerns. She said starting with the mission statements
and the duties/responsibilities staff could work with the committee to work through the areas of concern
listed in the memorandum and craft options for improving the schedule and organization of the Town's
advisory board. Ms. Hauth said this work should be completed by the end of the calendar year, but
added the timeframe would depend on the degree to which topics were discussed and availability for
scheduling. She said recommendations from the working group would be reported back to the Town
Board and advisory boards.
