MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD - special meeting
January 19, 1999
PRESENT: John Taylor (chair), Richard Bradford, Joel Brinkley, Cathy Carroll, David Daniel, Ed Gill, Jack
Hughes, Louise Long, Pip Merrick, Chris Quinn
PUBLIC: Juanita Diggs, Tom Magnuson, Margaret Hauth
Taylor called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
ITEM #1: Hauth highlighted the changes made in the PUD text from the previous meeting. Gill corrected
the typo in Section 2.141 (bee to be).
MOTION: Quinn moved to accept the changes shown in italics. Gill seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Hughes passed out proposed changes to address the aesthetic issues he, Merrick, and Daniel had
discussed. He also proposed a minimum development size of 35 acres. He noted that below that
he did not think desirable development would be produced, but that there are more 35 acres tracts
available than 50 acre tracts.
MOTION: Gill moved to accept the reduced minimum development size of 35 acres. Hughes seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
The members reviewed the proposed additional text. Hauth asked to make the following
adjustments: refer to the design manual as a part of the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance (ok); add
encouragement to retain existing trees and speak on ly to trees generically rather than hardwoods
(ok); specify the type of street by arterial or collector rather than major (ok); change "designated"
to "designed" in 2.14.9.b (ok); change "alley" to "walkway" in 2.14.9.e (ok); and delete 2.14.11.
Hughes discussed the need to keep 2.14.11 so that adjacent PUDs would coordinate. Hauth
noted that the proposed development would be a single but, not a combination of small ones,
regardless of whether portions were sold off to separate interests. Hauth added that forcing one
developer to continue a theme established by another is not going to be acceptable. They each
want their own individuality to distinguish them in the marketplace. The members agreed to
delete the second paragraph of 2.14.11.
Hauth asked for some latitude in rewarding 2.14. 10 to clarify the term "extruded vertically" and
the members agreed. The members discussed the advisability of requiring "multiple points of
access" to developments along currently busy roadways. Hauth suggested forcing connections
to align with existing intersections.
MOTION: Taylor moved to add the changes proposed by Hughes with some modifications by staff. Gill
seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Taylor adjourned the meeting at 7:35 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret A. Hauth, Secretary
