MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD
August 4, 1998
PRESENT: Richard Bradford, Joel Brinkley, David Daniel, Ed Gill, Jack Hughes, Louise Long, Chris Quinn,
George Sagar
PUBLIC: Don d'Ambrosi, Pat Mallett, Myron Martin, Ken Chavious, Margaret Hauth
Vice -chair Gill called the meeting to order at 6:32 PM.
ITEM #2: Sagar reported that the BOA approved a site plan for Microtel hotel to locate behind Burger King
and a modification to the Holy Family Catholic Church addition. Gill reported that the Park
Board received word that funding was approved for construction of Murray Street park and
received a request from the West King Street area to construct a park on town -owned property
in the area.
ITEM #3: Hauth asked the members to include the minutes of June 2 along with the July 7 and 28 meetings.
Bradford moved to approve the three sets of minutes as written. Gill seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4a: Hauth introduced the Centex rezoning request to have a potential development zoned R-10. Gill
asked Hauth to clarify how the development would access existing streets. Hauth said the
property has access to Skogens Lane, an existing street off NC 86, just below Wildwood. She
added that she has strongly encouraged the developers to construct an additional access through
Old Mill Business Park to access Old NC 86, preferably at the light with Oakdale Drive. Martin
asked if he could address the Board. Hauth reminded the members that only written comments
could be accepted now, unless they members had specific questions, because both boards needed
the same information base to make a decision. Gill asked Martin whether he had new information
and Martin said he did not. Hughes expressed concern about the request since the reason for the
smaller lot size is not specifically stated nor indicated in the public hearing minutes. Sagar noted
that this development is ripe for the commuter, i.e. designed to bring additional residents into
Hillsborough that work elsewhere. He expressed concern that Hillsborough is going to be
overrun with the growth demands of the Triangle region. Quinn asked Martin to express his
opinion of his quality of life living in Wildwood. Martin noted that there is noise and maintenance
issues that result from some houses being rented rather than owned. Quinn asked if there are
positive aspects. Martin said it all depended on who your neighbors are. The members discussed
their options.
MOTION: Hughes moved to recommend the Town Board not rezone the property to R-10. Bradford
seconded.
VOTE: 6-2 with Brinkley and Long voting against.
ITEM #4b: Hauth introduced the rezoning request for 58.18 acres at the I-85/NC 86 interchange. She noted
that no specific plans have been discussed for the property although the developers have
submitted the site for consideration for the performing arts center that is being planned. Brinkley
noted that given the site's location and access, the request seems reasonable.
MOTION: Hughes moved to recommend the Town Board rezone the property to HIC. Quinn seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.

the zoning request.
MOTION: Quinn moved to recommend the Town Board rezone the property to AR. Bradford seconded.

text amendment, including the minor change to subsection "e". Hughes seconded.

development on South Churton Street between CCB and Olivers. Hauth noted that 4 site plan
for the property are currently under review and set to be heard by the Board of Adjustment this
month. d'Ambrosi noted they added sidewalks and landscaping along John Earl Street as
requested. He also noted that a significant amount of existing pavement would be removed and
re -installed to verify the construction standards.
MOTION: Gill moved to recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision plan to the Town Board. Sagar
seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous
Gill adjourned the meeting at 8:00 PM.
