Committee Reports.

They are also working on the viewing platform and meeting with the engineers to review
a second draft.

Town's contractors to discuss clean up after the recent water line work in the area. The
pump station has not been removed at this point.
Hauth reported for the Entranceway Committee. They are designing the sign, but have
not touched on the zoning issues as yet.
ITEM #3 Review of draft performance standards and text amendments relating to commercial
redistricting.
Noise
Hauth reviewed the noise standards with the Board comparing it to the Orange County
Noise Ordinance. She noted it also included some sections from the Chapel Hill
ordinance. There was some discussion regarding enforcement. Hauth said that the Town
Code covers enforcement. She said she would add the reference to the Town Code to the
amendment.
Impervious Surface
it was suggested that a definition be added for impervious surfaces. McLeroy suggested
it might be helpful to have sketches showing the difference between current development
and proposed standards. He said he did not have a good idea as to whether 70% is too
high!or too low. Members agreed some examples would be useful. Hauth said she would
provide some at the next meeting - including Wal -mart and Burger King. The examples
will include setbacks, impervious surfaces and buffers.
Stormwater Control
The Board elected to change the wording of 5.17.4 to read "Water flows shall not be
diverted onto neighboring properties", deleting the word "unnecessarily."
Refuse Collection
Hauth reported that the Ordinance requires dumpsters for multi -family developments but
not non-residential development.

Pedestrian Access
Olson presented the requirements of Cary, Carrboro, and Chapel Hill. The Board
established pedestrian access priorities as being safety and visibility with commercial
property being a higher priority than residential property. Pedestrian accesses need to be
on both sides of the street unless one side of the street is completely undeveloped. The
Board decided to review a revised recommendation before taking this issue to public
hearing.
ITEM #4: Recommendation of transportation projects for the 1995-2001 TIP. Hauth presented an
updated project list. She said that projects costing less than $100,000 typically are not
listed in the TIP and can be funded from other sources. Olson asked that project 4
include a statement about the new bridge being designed to accomodate bicycles and
pedestrians.
MOTION: Crowther moved to recommend the priority list to the Town Board as amended. Murphy
seconded.
Hauth will take these recommendations to the Town Board for their approval.
ITEM #5: Goals setting for coming year. Due to the late hour, Crowther suggested this item be
tabled until the next meeting.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
