MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD
April 5, 1994
PRESENT: Bill Crowther (Chair), Wayne Tilley (Vice -Chair), Kendall Abernathy, Sam Jones, Louise
Long, Wendy Olson, Pat Shannon, Ken McLeroy (Alt),
PUBLIC: Margaret Hauth
Crowther called the meeting to order at 6:45 p.m.
ITEM #2: Hauth opened the floor for Chair and Vice -Chair nominations. Crowther said he would
accept re -appointment with the understanding that his term expires in October. He added
that he has discussed with Quanda Turner the possibility of her serving as Chair. He said
that she is not interested at this time. He suggested that she may accept a nomination for
Vice -Chair and made the nomination.
Abernathy and Olson nominated Crowther to remain Chair for the remainder of his term.
There being no other nominations for Chair, the nominations were accepted as a motion
and second. The Planning Board unanimously elected Bill Crowther to continue as Chair.
Abernathy nominated Olson for Vice -Chair. Hauth passed around paper ballots, collected
and counted the votes. By a vote of 4-3 Quanda Turner was elected as Vice -Chair. In
the event that she does not accept this election, Wendy Olson will accept the election.
ITEM #3: Approval of minutes from October 5, November 2, December 7, and January 4 meetings.
MOTION: Olson moved to approve the minutes of the October 5, November 2, December 7, 1993
and January 4, 1994 minutes as written. McLeroy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4: Hauth introduced the rezoning request of the Economy Hotel site behind the two gas
stations on New 86. This property is zoned Industrial. There is no record of a specific
request for that zoning so Hauth assumed it was zoned industrial when zoning was
established i this area. The owner has made a request to the Mayor for the town to
correct the mistake, and he agreed. This item will be on the April public hearing agenda.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced the rezonin request of Richard Simpson which will be going to Public
Hearing. Olson and McLeroy expressed some concerns about this application. The
concerns include: the proximity of the property to the other high density developments
in town, proximity to the Orange Grove Road/Mayo Street intersection, increasing traffic
on congested streets, the lack of pedestrian and bike facilities, the lack of recreational
facilities, and the proximity to the Piedmont Minerals operation. This item will be on the
April public hearing agenda.

ITEM #6: Hauth stated that the list of properties requesting HIC rezoning is in the packet. The list
is longer than what can be reasonably be heard at one hearing. Based on her
understanding of each applicant's urgency, Hauth recommended that the following be
scheduled for the April hearing: Jerry Taylor, John Wright, Orange County Rescue
Squad, and Shannon Hills. She added that TPI has also requested rezoning and that they
have a site plan pending rezoning. She asked that TPI's request be included in the April
hearing.
MOTION: Olson moved to send the 5 properties mentioned to public hearing in April. Abernathy
seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Hauth briefly described the final amendments to the performance standards which include
some incentives for shopping center developers and others to provide locations within
their developments for public recycling.
MOTION: McLeroy moved the send the amendment to hearing as amended. Abernathy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7: Hauth introduced draft text amendments to create an Entranceway Overlay district and
development standards. Crowther noted that the requirement of water and sewer should
be removed from the criteria because all entranceways may not be suited for the density
of development that can be allowed with water and sewer. The members agreed. Olson
suggested that the landscaping requirement in Section 5.23.2.e be made more flexible by
adding "or equivalent".
MOTION: McLeroy moved to send the text amendment to public hearing. Abernathy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #8: Hauth introduced the proposed text amendment to create a Planned Unit Development
district. Crowther stated that he would like to see the text changed to include a range of
densities that can be approved: 1 unit per acre, 1.25 units per acre and 1.5 units per acre.
Other issues discussed include open space (how much, what counts, what uses permitted
in open space, who owns) and whether GI uses should be permitted. Hauth noted that
the Town Board is interested in seeing this on the April Public Hearing schedule. The
members agreed that they have not had ample time to study alternatives.
MOTION: Olson moved not to send this item to Public Hearing at this time. McLeroy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 7:40 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Don a , Town Clerk
