A. Request to close the remaining portion of Spring Street between West Hill Avenue S and Allen Ruffin Avenue
Planning Director Margaret Hauth reviewed that state law stipulates the procedure for closing a section of
street. A property owner has requested the closure but was not present at the meeting. Hauth sent notices of
the public hearing via certified mail but did not receive many postcards confirming receipt of the notices.
Hauth added that she has talked with most of the affected neighbors and that notices of the public hearing
were also posted at both ends of Spring Street.
Hauth reminded the board that to close the street, the board must find the closure would not negatively
impact access to another property. She noted one affected house has access only via Spring Street.
Stacey Green addressed the board. She owns the home that only has access via Spring Street and does not
have a driveway on Allen Ruffin Avenue. She said she had sent a letter to the board. It was later clarified that
her letter did not make it into the agenda packet. Green stated that the primary access to her home is from
Spring Street. She has spent at least $12,000 improving her access to Spring Street, including paving a portion
of it and installing a parking pad for her home. Green said as a precaution she has been asking for cost
estimates for installing a driveway to her home from Allen Ruffin Avenue. The estimates are $15,000 to
$20,000. Green noted that she submitted photos of her property’s challenging topography with her letter. She
said she primarily works from home and has not witnessed most of the incidents listed in the applicant’s letter
as reasons for closing Spring Street. Green read her letter aloud to enter it into the record.
Dan Hamilla addressed the board. He owns 210 Allen Ruffin Ave., located north of Green’s property, as an
investment property. Public access from Spring Street was one of the main selling points for him when
purchasing his property because a portion of his lot is not accessible to Allen Ruffin Avenue and he would rely
on Spring Street for access if he built an accessory dwelling unit.
Scott Baldwin addressed the board. He said he owns the adjacent property that would gain land with the
closure of Spring Street, but he understands Green’s reasons for not wanting Spring Street to close. He said he
and his partner do not have a strong opinion about the request.
Fire Marshal Jerry Wagner said the terrain for Green’s house is very steep and would cause issues for
firefighting activities. He thinks public access needs to be maintained from Spring Street.
John Beerman addressed the board. He lives south of Green’s house. When he bought his house, he was told
that emergency services had a right of way behind Green’s house to access his house because his driveway on
Allen Ruffin Street is too steep for emergency vehicles.
Motion: Hughes moved to close the public hearing. Ferguson seconded.
Vote: The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0.
6. Appointments
A. Water and Sewer Advisory Committee — Reappoint Saru Salvi to a four-year term ending Feb. 28, 2024

8. Items for decision — regular agenda
A. Noise ordinance discussion
Weaver made opening remarks for this discussion that included: the noise ordinance is meant to be applied
everywhere in town and not just in the Historic District; the town is home to people who prefer a quieter
downtown and those who prefer a livelier downtown; and homeowners and businesses need to coexist
downtown.
Police Chief Duane Hampton and Lt. Andy Simmons presented a history of dozens of noise disturbance phone
calls to 911 over a period of one year and graphs showing measurements of sound when Hot Tin Roof, 115 W.
Margaret Lane, is playing amplified music. They explained how they have been measuring sound and shared
information on noise ordinances in other jurisdictions.
Representatives from Hot Tin Roof, which regularly hosts bands, shared the efforts they’ve made to reduce
the disturbance for neighbors.
Mark Bateman, a co-owner of Hot Tin Roof, said the police have responded to noise disturbance phone calls
to 911 more than 100 times in the last four years. He said the police response to the phone calls costs his
business money.
Jason King with All King Entertainment said he books bands for venues in Alamance, Durham, Orange and
Person counties. He has not had any noise complaints at any venues where he books bands except Hot Tin
Roof. He has bought a decibel reader and documented readings. He has a flash drive with hundreds of
readings and accompanying videos to document what music was playing at the time that police officers were
dispatched to respond to a noise complaint. He said there have been times when readings with his meter are
in the range of the decibels permitted and the police have informed him that the music is loud enough to be
in violation of the ordinance. He said there are bands that won’t play at Hot Tin Roof because the police
officers have been dispatched to respond to noise complaints.
Kim Tesoro, a co-owner of Hot Tin Roof, said her goal is to shift Hot Tin Roof toward becoming a
neighborhood sports bar. She said she has shifted the music and added a trivia night. She said she works hard
for this community and finds it personally demoralizing to be considered a nuisance. She suggested a
committee could be convened with business owners and downtown residents to come up with a solution. She
agreed that the business is losing money because of the noise complaints.
Several downtown residents told the board they would like the town to develop a stricter noise ordinance to
eliminate the disturbance that is caused in their homes by amplified music or that could be caused if other
venues open which host DJs and bands.
Maria Flanagan, who lives at 168 W. Margaret Lane, addressed the board. The music’s bass rattles her
windows at night. She would like to have the impact reduced. She likes that Hot Tin Roof is located where it is.
She requested an escalation of penalties for better enforcement.

Jim Adams addressed the board. He is a local artist and musician. He has played at Hot Tin Roof on several
occasions and frequents it, but he does not want the bass to rattle windows in nearby homes.
Weaver said David Payne, a resident, had requested via email to be permitted additional speaking time. She
assured him at the meeting that others have taken more than three minutes and he could do so as well.
Payne passed out handouts. Payne said he had read that sound measurements at music venues were taken
with a C-weighted scale but maybe he is wrong. He said he had researched the noise ordinance for the City of
Raleigh. He said the Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh has a cutoff for amplified sound of 11 p.m. on weekends
and 10:30 p.m. on weekdays. He suggested such a cutoff for Hillsborough establishments.
Payne said Hillsborough’s brand is a place to allow the arts to prosper. He believes he and the other authors
bring value to Hillsborough. He has lived here and written books here for 13 years. He has made 20 noise
complaint calls about amplified music at Hot Tin Roof since the beginning of October. The lack of sleep is
affecting his ability to work. He wants comfort, health, peace and safety for all.
Tom Roberts addressed the board. This is his 33rd year owning and managing The Inn at Teardrops. Life on
King Street will change dramatically with the reopening of The Colonial Inn, he said. He thinks it is important
to have an ordinance with teeth in place before it opens. He wants to see everyone succeed. He has heard
music coming from Hot Tin Roof, but it has not been loud enough for him to complain. He wants a solution
that will protect everyone in the neighborhood.
Jim Boerike of 153 W. Margaret Lane addressed the board. He said the bass sound thumps constantly and he
and his wife do not call because the A-weighted scale for sound meters does not measure the bass. He thinks
it would be good for the town to try measuring sound with the C-weighted scale. He also thinks the music
played on the courthouse lawn is too loud at Last Fridays. He added that it makes sense to have a noise
ordinance that applies everywhere in town.
Bell said it is clear that the bass is the problem and asked if C-weighting is an appropriate measurement tool.
Hampton said bass is a significant part of the problem. He does not know if C-weighting is the appropriate
tool. He reviewed that in his tests using the C-weighted scale on the sound meter, rain, HVAC units and people
talking did not seem to affect the readings, which is helpful. The company that makes the sound meter the
Police Department owns have said it is not the right tool for measuring bass. However, C-weighting is used in
larger cities where there are code enforcement officers dedicated to taking sound measurements. There are
places using it and Hillsborough could model their process, Hampton said.
Ferguson said she heard Payne’s suggestion of a cutoff of amplified music at 11 p.m.; but when she is out for
an evening in Durham or Raleigh, she does not hear the music volume dropping even at midnight, so she is
curious about enforcement in those cities.
The police chief said there are options including civil penalties and criminal charges.
Hughes said a criminal citation would not be appropriate. If a teenager is blaring loud music and is issued a
criminal citation, it could negatively affect the teen’s college applications. The noise ordinance is not enforced
at Last Fridays and the annual River Park Concert, which he thinks is fine. He said he has served on a board of
adjustment for which sound experts testified that regulating the bass using C-weighting was improper. He
thinks Payne and Hot Tin Roof are victims of circumstances and how buildings were built. He is not in favor of
any change until neighbors talk, perhaps with a mediator.

Weaver said those who live within the first block off Churton Street have to understand there are nearby
businesses; however, there seems to be a real problem with people not being able to sleep and bass seems to
be the culprit. A vibrant downtown is going to be noisy; but at that interface, people need to be able to have a
livable life. She thinks the noise ordinance should be changed and a civil penalty seems like a good idea. She
imagines there is a difference with Last Fridays and River Park Concert because they do not occur every
weekend and have earlier cutoff times. She said Yonder: Southern Cocktails & Brew and Nash Street Tavern
advertise bands performing from 8 to 11 p.m. She is in favor of mediation if the parties are willing.
Lloyd spoke in favor of earlier cutoffs.
Bell thinks there is a problem affecting residents and the firefighters sleeping in the nearby fire station. He
said bass is the problem; it has rattled his windows and woken him up. Also, an earlier cutoff and civil
penalties make sense. He said the ad hoc music events are not comparable. He suggested the town consult an
acoustic engineer or consultant.
Simmons said it is the Police Department’s understanding that such a consultant would cost $4,000 a day.
Bell asked whether Bateman would be willing to attend mediation sessions. Tesoro said she and Bateman are
in favor of mediation or being part of a group that figures out what will work. She suggested a group compare
the Police Department’s readings with King’s readings and corresponding video.
Ferguson said it bothers her that public policy could be made for one vocal resident and one business. She is
thinking of other parts of town where it would be desirable to have vibrant music out on the streets. She
added that Orange County has a reputation of being difficult for businesses. It bothers her that acts would
avoid performing in Hillsborough. She does not support criminal penalties. Ferguson noticed the complaints
are coming from a particular age bracket. She wondered whether the town is going to be a retirement
community. She pointed out that 11 p.m. on New Year’s Eve would be too early for music to stop.
Hughes said he is 29 and goes out late. A full cutoff at 11 p.m. is not the answer.
English agreed with what other board members said. He would not be opposed to a cutoff time but does not
know what time that should be. He believes in a vibrant downtown and said it makes sense to have music in
the city center. Bass is a problem. Mediation is good.
Hampton will work on crafting language for an amendment to the noise ordinance.
The board will revisit this topic at its next regular meeting on Feb. 10.
B. Census Funding Request
Hughes said the Orange County Census Complete Count Committee would like each town and the county to
set aside $5,000 to cover the cost of marketing materials for the census.
Motion: Ferguson moved to match a county investment up to $5,000. Lloyd seconded.
Vote: The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0.
C. Consideration of an order to close Spring Street between West Hill Avenue S and Allen Ruffin Avenue
Motion: Ferguson moved to deny the request. English seconded.
Vote: The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 5-0.

Bell left at 9:50 p.m. due to illness. The town attorney reminded the board to vote to excuse Bell.
Motion: Ferguson moved to excuse Bell. Hughes seconded.
Vote: The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 4-0.
D. Request from Orange County Board of Education
Hauth reviewed the request to amend the memorandum of understanding regarding the Schools Adequate
Public Facilities Ordinance to include pre-kindergarten enrollment. She said the memorandum is a
longstanding agreement wrapped into the land use ordinance. By not counting pre-kindergarten students, the
numbers are disingenuous. Her hesitation about recommending that the Board of Commissioners honor the
request is it would trigger land use regulatory authority. She wants to hear the town attorney state that the
town has adequate authority from the state to count pre-kindergarten students. Hornik said he does not have
the answer to that question.
School board member Stephen Halkiotis passed out handouts containing information about the capacity of
each school in the district and information about the pre-kindergarten programs. He said Orange County is
the 10th wealthiest county in the state and yet 25% of its children live in poverty. There are more than 130
children in the pre-kindergarten program in the schools. He requested that the Board of Commissioners
amend the memorandum of understanding.
Orange County Planning Director Craig Benedict said both the Orange County Board of Education and Chapel
Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education are requesting that the pre-kindergarten students be counted.
He added that the state legislature has changed classroom sizes as well. He said amending the memorandum
of understanding is a front-burner issue for the county. If an amendment requires a $30 million school to be
built sooner than later, the county has to figure out where that money comes from.
Hornik said his concern has been potential unintended consequences. It is important that everyone is talking
to one another.
E. Request from Historic District Commission for grant match funding to prepare a comprehensive design
guidelines update
Historic District Commission Chair Jill Heilman addressed the board to ask for a commitment to the grant
match. The current guidelines are 20 years old. The grant match would be about $10,000.
There was support for funding the grant match over two fiscal years.
Motion: Hughes moved to approve committing $5,000 in FY20 and $5,000 in FY21 to match a grant for the
design guidelines update. Ferguson seconded.
Vote: The motion carried upon a unanimous vote of 4-0.
F. 2019 Community Survey Results
Assistant to the Town Manager and Deputy Budget Director Jen Della Valle shared brief highlights from the
community survey. It was noted that 94% of those who responded and had an opinion rated Hillsborough as a
good or an excellent place to live. Nationally, compared to other communities and to communities with under
30,000 people, Hillsborough rated significantly higher in 49 of 50 rating areas. The full results will soon be
available on the Community Survey page. Hillsborough outperformed national averages.
G. Review FY19 Hillsborough Results Report
Della Valle gave no presentation and invited questions.

Ferguson asked about the dip in the clearance rate of violent crime. The police chief explained the number of
violent crimes in Hillsborough is so low that the timing of serving warrants can skew this report. He said the
clearance rate has already risen to its former level again.
H. Strategic Planning Update, Discussion and Annual Budget Retreat Preparations
The board reviewed a proposed modified strategy map that focuses on:
• Sustainability and resiliency as an overarching goal.
• Continuing to provide excellent core services as a foundational goal.
• Setting additional top priorities such as creating a connected community, nurturing economic vitality and
ensuring community safety.
The modified map and proposed action plans for each goal are part of work to streamline the town’s
performance measurement system and to improve focus on the town’s most important objectives, initiatives
and measures. Staff will continue working on the modified map and action plans, and the board will further
discuss strategic planning at its annual budget retreat. The board tentatively set the retreat date for March 7,
noting that Bell needed to be consulted.
I. State of the Town Address preparation
It was noted that there was a typo in the agenda packet and the State of the Town Address would take place
March 23.
J. Hot topics for work session Jan. 27, 2020
The board reviewed that the main items for the work session would include a discussion with the Daniel
Boone Village property owners about redevelopment and a detailed discussion about the climate action and
Vision 2030 planning processes.
9. Updates

AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2020 VERSION OF CHAPTER 12 OF THE TOWN OF
