PLANNING BOARD
October 5, 1993
PRESENT: Bill Crowther (Chair), Wayne Tilley (Vice -Chair), Kendall Abernathy, Louise Long,
Wendy Olson, Pat Shannon, Quanda Turner
PUBLIC: Jack Jordan, John Shoneman, Margaret Hauth
Crowther called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m.
ITEM #2: Comments from the Chair:
Committee Reports.
Hauth reported that a Transportation Advisory Task Force has been selected. No formal
beginning date has been identified.
Olson reported for the Occoneechee Park Committee. The timber rights have been
anonymously purchased by two members of the Triangle Land Conservancy. The timber
rights were for two years, and about one half a year has transpired. The lease agreement
with Piedmont Minerals is still being worked on. The area being sought will provide
parking between the park and the river. Piedmont Minerals is waiting until the grading
along Eno Mountain Road and the new bridge are complete to determine the location of
the,,area to be leased.
ITEM #3 Discussion of text amendment relating to recombination of non -conforming lots. The
following changes were made: add requirement that lots be not less than 50' wide and
renumber the requirements appropriately.
MOTION: Olson moved to bring these amendments to the next public hearing. Abernathy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4: :Discussion of text amendment to establish time limits on approval for unconstructed
projects. Hauth said the Ordinance currently allows for the termination of a conditional
use permit upon vote by the Board of Adjustment if the Board of Adjustment set a time
limit when it approved the conditional use permit. She added there is no expiration for
site plans. Hauth suggested that since vested rights run for 24 months it seemed
reasonable to run the expirations on conditional uses and site plans for the same period.
The Board asked that "meaningful and substantial construction shall mean the beginnings
of construction of a structure" be added for clarification.
MOTION: Abernathy moved to send this amendment to the next public hearing. Shannon seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Hauth noted that the next hearing is scheduled for October 26. She added that these
would be the only items on the agenda. She asked if the Board wanted to call a public
hearing for two text amendments. Crowther suggested leaving the decision to the Mayor
and all agreed.

ITEM #6: Recommendation of transportation projects for the 1995-2001 TIP. Hauth said she
included last year's project list and the Regional Priority list for the Durham -Chapel Hill -
Carrboro Metropolitan Area for reference. She explained that since the town has joined
the MPO, all requests will go through that organization and appear in the updated
Regional Priority list. Crowther suggested discussing this item at the next meeting, after
everyone has had time to consider projects and priorities.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
