and Calvin Ashley.
Others: John Dorward, Juanita Wilson, and Kay Maltbie
Additions were made to the agenda and Item 1 was moved to the end of the agenda.
Item 2- Ashley said that it took eight months to finish the other map. Changes
could be prepared for the public hearing, but the final map should not be made
until after decisions were made about specific zones.
Zones.to consider were the areas at the NE and NW corners of the intersection of
70 A,east and Highway 86, Odie St., NW corner of St. Mary's Rd. and Ruffin, and
SW corner of I-85 and old 86. After consideration the Board made the following
recommendations:
Goodwin made a motion that the area at the NW AND NE corners of the intersection
of 70-A east and 86 be recommended for rezoning to Office -Institutional. Rose
seconded the motion which passed.
Page made a recommendation that Odie St. be rezoned to R-20 since it appears to
be a spot zoning to R-10. Poole -Kober seconded the motion and the motion was
approved.
Page made a motion to recommend changing the 0-I zoning at the NW corner of
St. Mary's Rd. and Ruffin St. to R-20. Culbreth seconded the motion which
passed.
The SW corner of I-85 and old 86 was considered. This area is behind McDonald's
and is north of Gateway Village. It would be R-10 if left as it is. Goodwin
made a motion to zone the northern half of the lot to Office -Institutional '.
(this would be about 10 acres) and the southern half of the lot to R-10 as it is
currently. Brody seconded the motion which passed.
Dorward noted that any changes to the ordinance would be made if absolutely
necessary or where errors might be found, but hopefully the ordinance would
be passed as it was and needed changes made in the future.
Rose made a motion that Planning Board members should show 100 % support for
the ordinance. Poole -Kober seconded the motion which passed.
Rose made a motion that Dorward furnish a cover letter and that Rose would
hand delivered the letter and ordinance to Town Board members. Brody
seconded the motion which passed.
Page reported that Hampton Downs is expected to come back to the County. Rose
made a motion that the Board ask for a postponement until review could be
made by the Hillsborough Planning Board at the next meeting. Poole -Kober
seconded the motion which passed.
The road closing requested by the County was considered. Maltbie suggested
that the road, if improved, might take some of the traffic from west Hillsborough
directly to 1-85 instead of routing it through W. King and S. Churton Sts. in the
center of Town.
Rose suggested that traffic could be.aided'by paving old Highway 10 where it
comes into Dimmocks Mil 1'Rd.
Ashley made a motion to close the Eno Mountain Road immediately below the back
entrace gate of Cone Mills old plant and end the closure at the top of the mountain.
Martin seconded the motion which passed. This recommendation will go to the Town
Board.
The Zoning Officer is to check with the Town Attorney on the MHP and the houses
on Highway 70.
Martin reported on the Board of Adjustment's.actions.at the last meeting on the
telephone tower and the Hillsborough Motel application.
Concern about litter around commercial properties was discussed.
Election of Chairman and Vice -Chairman was considered.
Goodwin said that Myron had done an excllent job but she thought that the Board
should have a rotating term of office. .
Martin said that if the Board wanted to change it, it should be in the ordinance
or rules of procedure. The Board had in the past elected a person for more than
one year.
The involvement of all of the members of the board and the need to attend the Town
Board meeetings were reasons to have one term of one year.
Martin said that representatives could be chosen to attend the Town Board meetings.
Brody suggested that the attendance of more members to the Town Board added to
the statements of the Planning Board.
The decision was made to hold the election and then vote on the one year term.
Ashley nominated Myron Martin. Brody nominated Evelyn Poole -Kober. The vote
was taken. Martin was the Chairman voted in. Poole -Kober was the Vice Chairman
by acclamation.
Goodwin made a motion that the Chairman and Vice -Chairman not succeed themselves
in future elections—This internal poli.cyawas to be reviewed by the IOG to see if
it should be an internal policy or in the rules of procedure.
Brody seconded the motion which passed.
The meeting was adjourned.
