Commissioner Evelyn Lloyd seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. 7. Items for decision — regular agenda A. Right-of-way improvements related to the redevelopment of 153 W. King St. — loading zone 7:13:32 p.m. Public Space Manager Stephanie Trueblood reviewed that at the previous meeting the board had separated the creation of a second loading zone on West King Street from the Colonial Inn's special use permit. She said if there is no loading zone, trucks will stop in the travel lane. She reviewed that staff's preferred option, which would be located in front of the home of Mike Gering and Marsha Ferree, was a 90 -foot loading zone with a 45 -foot sight triangle. Only 65 feet is available in front of the Masonic Lodge. The smaller space would fit some trucks but not full-size trucks that some of the large food distributors use. Trueblood said there has to be a fire hydrant in this area. The hydrant in front of the Masonic Lodge cannot simply be removed to accommodate a loading zone. Staff had looked at moving the hydrant to the east toward downtown. The fire marshal told her it could not be moved to the east. To the west of the current hydrant location, there are two trees, a large set of steps and several driveways that would be impacted. A water line also would need to be extended. Estimates for moving the hydrant to the west are $20,000 to $25,000, Trueblood said. 7:19:10 p.m. Ferguson asked why on -street parking spaces designated for handicapped parking could not be moved to make a potential loading zone in front of the Masonic Lodge longer. Trueblood explained that the on -street handicapped parking spaces are grandfathered in by the North Carolina Department of Transportation in their current location. Other on -street parking spaces cannot be designated for handicapped parking because on -street parking in downtown Hillsborough does not meet the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. So, if any on -street parking spaces designated for handicapped parking are removed, they cannot be replaced elsewhere along the street. 7:20:48 p.m. Trueblood said the town could remove on -street parking spaces closer to Churton Street but such a loading zone would be a greater distance from the Colonial Inn and truck drivers would not be likely to use it. She also noted that merchants would not want on -street parking removed closer to Churton Street. Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 3 of 25 7:23:02 p.m. Commissioner Mark Bell noted a cedar tree might need to be trimmed to accommodate the loading zone in the staff -preferred location. Bell suggested holding off on installing a loading zone, noting that the Colonial Inn was expected to open in mid -2020. Bell asked when the three or four on -street parking spaces in front of the inn were likely to be removed to accommodate the wider sidewalk. Trueblood answered that she was not sure. Bell wondered whether the loading zone would be used for construction parking. Trueblood said loading zones are easy to install and can be marked with paint on the pavement when the town is ready. 7:25:17 p.m. Planning Director Margaret Hauth said if the Board of Commissioners wants to make a loading zone available for construction unloading, that is within the board's control. However, the developers have other places to stage construction materials. Trueblood said construction cones or signage could be used for construction parking during the renovation. Bell said two more restaurants may be opening on the eastern part of West King Street. He wanted to know whether a third loading zone may be needed on the street. Trueblood said it was possible but too soon to say. Bell said he lives on this block, so he is asking a lot of questions. He thought the water line serving the fire hydrant ran under the street and not under the sidewalk and would cost about $5,000 to extend to the west. Trueblood said she received her updated estimates from the Utilities Department. 7:31:23 p.m. Utilities Director Marie Strandwitz explained $5,000 may be the cost of just moving a hydrant, but the water main west of the current hydrant is only 2 inches in diameter, which will not support a hydrant. Also, a water line under the street would likely be more expensive than installing one next to the street, she noted. 7:32:14 p.m. Bell asked if staff has heard comments from downtown merchants regarding concerns about losing on -street parking. Trueblood answered that she hasn't specifically heard concerns about removing parking for a loading zoning, but her past experience is that the loss of every single parking space is felt and remembered for a long time. Stevens agreed with Trueblood and added that parking is a very sensitive issue. 7:36:35 p.m. Stevens asked why the staff -preferred loading zone location was drawn with a 40 -foot line -of - sight triangle. Trueblood answered 10 feet is standard and leaves room for trash receptacles. The Colonial Inn's site plan had included 40 feet. Stevens said if the loading zone were placed in front of the Masonic Lodge, more than 10 feet reserved for line of sight made sense. Trueblood said there may be a happy medium between 10 and 40 feet. Stevens asked if a loading zone could be available for public parking at night. Trueblood answered it could be; the Board of Commissioners just needs to change the ordinance. Lloyd expressed concern for the line of sight for the driveway of Alice Seelye. Trueblood said she had spoken with Seelye who said it is already difficult to see as one exits her driveway and she does not want the line of sight to be worse. 7:40:52 p.m. Weaver asked why trucks cannot pull over in an unofficial loading zone in front of the inn. Trueblood answered that once the sidewalk is widened, the remaining space would be only two and a half or three feet wide, which is not enough for a truck to pull over and not block a lane of traffic. She added that driveways on the south side of West King Street are closer together, so there isn't space between driveways for a truck to pull over on the south side. Trueblood added that delivery drivers were most likely to be driving Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 4 of 25 north on Churton Street and turning left on West King Street and would not go around the block to park on the south side of West King Street. 7:44:55 p.m. Gering addressed the board. Gering said the board should wait until a loading zone is needed, should not site one in front of any residence, and should get better information from staff. He said there is no evidence that another loading zone is needed. He thinks most restaurant deliveries do not take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. but instead throughout the day and no homeowner should be subjected to the noise of the trucks. Gering said he wanted to know why 75 feet is needed for a loading zone. He thinks 54 feet is sufficient based on a document he found. He thinks downtown business owners agree with Gering and his wife that the loading zone should not be placed in front of their house. He said it shouldn't matter that the best solution requires some work. He thinks staff is biased against the $25,000 cost of moving the hydrant in front of the Masonic Lodge. He said staff manipulates statements to influence board decisions. He believes delivery drivers are willing to circle the block to park on the south side of West King Street. He remembers when trucks would circle the block to park in front of the Colonial Inn. He wants the Board of Commissioners to decide not to put a loading zone in front of any house. 7:51:20 p.m. Ferree addressed the board. She said she felt that staff showed a total lack of consideration in proposing a loading zone in front of her house. She asked board members to consider what it would be like to have a loading zone in front of their houses. She asked where her guests would park. She expressed concern about smelling truck fumes from her front porch. She said the loading zone would create a dangerous line of sight from her driveway. She asked board members to think of whether they have ever seen a loading zone in front of a house. She expressed concern that placing a loading zone in front of her house would further commercialize her area of West King Street. She said that she and Gering have seen no data indicating that a loading zone is needed. She noted additional restaurants are being created closer to Churton Street. She said she and Gering would move if the loading zone were placed in front of their house and their property would become commercial. 7:56:13 p.m. Commissioner Matt Hughes said the loading zone could be open for public parking on nights and weekends. He noted on -street parking would be striped on the second block of West King Street and employees would be encouraged to park there to free parking spaces closer to shops and restaurants. Hughes said he agreed with Gering and Ferree about wanting more information on what this area needs in terms of loading zones. He wondered whether it was possible to survey businesses downtown regarding hours and days of deliveries. He does not want to create a loading zone to serve one business and does not want to rush to make a public policy decision that favors the inn. 7:58:58 p.m. Ferguson said she wants to know how early deliveries can be made. She wants to see options that place a loading zone closer to Churton Street. She also wants to keep the on -street handicapped parking spaces. Bell asked Trueblood if there has been a survey about delivery times. Trueblood answered there has been no scientific survey. Staff has spoken to those running businesses. The Wooden Nickel, La Place and Antonia's share delivery trucks and schedule them to come before the lunch hour, she said. It may be that other businesses have other delivery times. U.S. Foods seems to be delivering downtown at 11:30 a.m. Trueblood said the allowance of 90 feet for a delivery truck is on the Colonial Inn site plan. On West Margaret Lane, town staff designated a loading zone that is 75 feet because that was the professional recommendation. Trueblood said the 75 -foot loading zone does not necessarily accommodate the extended ramp of a delivery truck, but it gets the truck out of the lane of traffic. She thinks those planning for the Colonial Inn were thinking 90 feet would accommodate two shorter trucks in case rental tents and something else for a special event were being delivered simultaneously. Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 5 of 25 Trueblood said the loading zone was placed on this meeting agenda because it seemed that the board wanted to continue the discussion. Town staff does not want to move the fire hydrant to designate a loading zone in front of the Masonic Lodge. 8:04:56 p.m. Ferree said she believes it would be more difficult to safely exit her driveway if the loading zone were to start at Seelye's driveway. 8:05:40 p.m. Stevens noted data is always in flux regarding when deliveries will be made. The Board of Commissioners would not have made a loading zone a condition of the Colonial Inn project if it weren't common sense that a loading zone was needed. The location of the loading zone can be changed, but moving the fire hydrant is expensive. He summarized if there is going to be a loading zone on West King Street, there are three possible locations: in front of Gering and Ferree's house, in front of the Masonic Lodge, or in front of Seelye's house. Ferguson asked whether the loading zone could be located farther along the street. Stevens said there are too many driveways on the south side. Hauth noted there is a loading zone in front of Cup -A -Joe. Lloyd said she has the inconvenience of a church across from her house on West Tryon Street and it is difficult to back out on weeknights when Cub Scouts are meeting. She trusts the town staff. Lloyd is in favor of supporting what the Colonial Inn needs to operate. Gering said it is not obvious to him that another loading zone is needed. He wants data and criteria to determine the demand. Stevens said it is reasonable to at least plan for loading zones. Gering said the question is when would you know that you need another one. Stevens said he understands the point of wanting a policy not to have a loading zone in front of a house. This is a quirky block. There are three options. The third option puts the loading zone closer to other possible restaurants. 8:13:07 p.m. Ferguson asked what would be the downside of having two loading zones next to each other. Stevens said that's a good point, but a loading zone adjacent to the one in front of Cup -A -Joe is just far enough away from the Colonial Inn that it is unlikely it would be used for deliveries to the inn. And the other consideration is the removal of parking spaces for businesses. Ferguson said it makes sense to her to place it with the other loading zone. Hughes said it would take out parking in front of Lloyd's Pharmacy. Also, there are merchants who would feel they had lost good parking spaces to another restaurant loading zone. Lloyd said she was trying to avoid talking about impacts on her pharmacy and noted she has patients in their 80s and 90s who rely on parking close to the pharmacy. Hughes said this option would permanently remove on -street parking spaces designated for handicapped parking. 8:17:15 p.m. Trueblood explained again the on -street handicapped parking spaces, reiterating that they are not ADA -compliant. Therefore, if they are removed they cannot be designated somewhere else along the street without meeting the ADA standards, which it would not be possible to do. She said these on -street handicapped parking spaces get used much more frequently than the new ones in the West King Street Parking Lot. Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 6 of 25 Trueblood explained tactical urbanism as taking low-cost temporary measures to try something out. She said the Colonial Inn is expected to open in 18 to 24 months. The Colonial Inn staff could set traffic cones on the street to create temporary loading zones to see what works. She said any loading zone would need to be on the north side of the street because on the south side there is a hill, there will be a widened sidewalk and there are driveways located close together. Trueblood said if the board is talking about removing on -street parking, it needs to inform the Hillsborough/ Orange County Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Merchants group because people would want to voice their opinions on that. 8:21:47 p.m. Weaver thinks living in the first block of a street off the main street, one should expect circumstances are going to change. It is part of downtown living that circumstances are going to change. The board needs to take tender care of our residents, but this is a special block. When residential and commercial are mixed together, it is a part of a beautiful mess of being in a small downtown. Weaver said the safety issue feels important. The board has to be sure it is putting the loading zone in a place that is supportive of that obligation to the public. 8:25:57 p.m. Ferree said she and Gering have lived in Hillsborough since 1995, and at that time the Colonial Inn was apparently thriving. They remember many wedding parties, and they are not complaining about noise and on -street parking. However, they do not want the Colonial Inn to take precedence over homeowners. Gering encouraged testing sight triangles. Stevens asked board members whether they wanted to remove the option of moving the hydrant. Bell said he wanted to keep the option of moving the fire hydrant. Trueblood said moving the hydrant would not impact the Fiscal Year 2020 budget, but staff is unanimous that moving the hydrant is not the solution. Ferguson said she wants standards on what constitutes a need for a loading zone, acknowledging that there are seasonal changes to deliveries. Trueblood asked if it would be enough to contact businesses to learn what the current delivery times are. Ferguson said she thinks that's a good start. Ferguson said she agrees that residential areas and loading zones don't mix. Bell asked Trueblood to take three months to think about how to get delivery time data and check with peers in other towns on a low-cost way to get data about deliveries. He noted there is at least a year before the board needs to revisit this topic. He does not think merchants will be able to give Trueblood information. B. Resolution to amend the Future Land Use Plan to change the designation from Rural Living to Suburban Office on 1.059 acres and to change the designation from Suburban Office to Rural Living on 2.977 acres. Both parcels are located on the south side of U.S. 70 West, across from the office of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. 8:36:51 p.m. Hauth reviewed that items 7B and 7C are related. She noted that the board had heard this item at the October public hearing and that the Planning Board recommendations were included in the packet. 8:37:42 p.m. Hughes moved to approve the resolution. Ferguson seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. C. Consistency statement and ordinance to amend the zoning map from Agricultural Residential to Economic Development District on 1.059 acres and from Economic Development District to Agricultural Residential Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 7 of 25 on 2.977 acres. Both parcels are located on the south side of U.S. 70 West, across from the NC Department of Motor Vehicles office. 8:38:00 p.m. Ferguson moved to approve the consistency statement and ordinance to amend the zoning map. Hughes seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. D. Resolution to amend the Future Land Use Plan to change the designation from Retail Services to Light Industry for 7.16 acres in two parcels at the intersection of Valley Forge Road and N.C. 86. 8:38:19 p.m. Hauth noted that the property owners are present this evening and that items 7D and 7E are related. 8:38:55 p.m. Ferguson moved to approve the resolution. Hughes seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. E. Consistency statement and ordinance to amend the zoning map to rezone 7.16 acres in two parcels at the intersection of Valley Forge Road and N.C. 86 from Limited Office and Entranceway Special Use to Economic Development District 8:39:11 p.m. Ferguson moved to approve the consistency statement and ordinance to amend the zoning map. Weaver seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. F. Memorandum of understanding between Orange County and the towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough regarding the Orange County Food Council 8:40:07 p.m. Dani Black, who serves on a local food economy work group, urged support of the coordinator position. Black also offered to help with the delivery data collection regarding the loading zone. Weaver encouraged the board to support this coordinator position and made it clear the board is approving the memorandum of understanding and not the work plan. 8:45:12 p.m. Ferguson moved approval of the memorandum of understanding. Hughes seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. ADDED ITEM — audit contract 8:45:48 p.m. Financial Services Director Daphna Schwartz said the Local Government Commission requires a document explaining why the audit has not been completed. The document explains staff turnover on the audit team. The audit team is requesting a deadline extension through Jan. 15 but is fairly confident it can complete the audit by Dec. 31. 8:47:00 p.m. Hughes moved approval of the audit contract. Ferguson seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. ADDED ITEM — budget retreat 8:50:53 p.m. The board discussed dates. The board's preference was 3 to 9 p.m. March 25. PULLED ITEM 6.0 — Consistency statement and ordinance to amend Section 6.15.3, 6.15.8, and 6.15.9 regulating how recreation fees in lieu and land dedications are reviewed and approved during the development process 8:57:44 p.m. Ferguson said she wanted to better understand the rationale for this amendment. Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 8 of 25 Hauth explained that typically the recreation facilities in new subdivisions are private. The town checks that the recreation points add up to an adequate amount of recreational space provided for the neighborhood. Staff had determined that the Parks and Recreation Board did not need to review these points because it's purely mathematical and the choices of activities are that of the developer. Ferguson asked whether the town has plans to identify parcels for additional parks. Hauth said she would prefer not to be that specific because a property owner would then raise the price of the land. Bell said he is serving on the Parks and Recreation Board as the representative from the Board of Commissioners and confirmed that the Parks and Recreation Board had reviewed the recommendation. 9:04:02 p.m. Ferguson moved to approve the amendment. Weaver seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. 8. Updates A. Board members 9:05:01 p.m. Bell reported that the Metropolitan Planning Organization received a report from the Triangle Transportation Demand Management Program, which looks at who is commuting and how and where the demand is. He will share the data electronically. He added that the existing chair and co-chair of the Metropolitan Planning Organization were reappointed and noted that Weaver had served on the nominating committee. 9:06:25 p.m. Ferguson reported she was pleased with the advocacy goals of the North Carolina League of Municipalities. She reported that the priorities of the Triangle J Councils of Government remain the same and there is still consideration of a housing authority. She noted the Fairview neighborhood Christmas party was nice. 9:08:30 p.m. Weaver gave no report. 9:08:39 p.m. Stevens reported that he and Weaver had met with Senator Valerie Foushee and Representative Graig Meyer to have a longer conversation about the Upper Neuse River Basin Association, reservoir and water issues, transportation and climate change. He also reported that the agenda was being created for the Jan. 29 Assembly of Governments meeting. Affordable housing, climate change and those things will be moved to the end. 9:10:00 p.m. Hughes gave no report. 9:10:37 p.m. Lloyd reported she had attended a meeting of the Orange Rural Fire Department. B. Town manager There was no report. C. Staff (written departmental reports are included in the agenda packet) There were no additional staff reports. 9:13:33 p.m. Bell moved to go into closed session. Ferguson seconded. The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0. 9. Closed session Dec. 17, 2018 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: Feb. 11, 2019 Page 9 of 25 A.
