Hilda Brody, Nancy Goodwin, Jim Culbreth, Bob Rose, Robert Murphy and Margaret
Moore.
Others: Chester Andrews, Rep. from the Historical Society, Melissa Thomas,
and Laura Hill, Zoning Officer.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by the Chairman.
The Chairman asked if there were any additions to the agenda. Brody
asked to add the Triangle Development Award.
Item 1: Report from sub -committees
Page reported that the Orange County Planning Board has reformed its Township
Advisory Council. They will have no more than 7 members for each advisory
council. They will be meeting upstairs in the Superior Court room on March 5th.
Anyone who would like to attend is invited.
The Scotswood Dev. has been postponed until the public hearing on the 25th of
March until newer information can be obtained on the water issue. The Efland
sewer issue will also be tabled until that time due to new information by the
County Manager that the Board has not seen yet.
Brody reported that the Historic District Commission will award its first
Certificate of Appreciation to Clinton Lindley. Fence designs have been
drawn up for backyards only which can receive an automatic approval after
review by the Zoning Officer and the Historic District Commission Chairman.
Poole -Kober reported that the Greenways Committee met and mapped out areas
within the city for green spaces and greenways. The committee stayed basically
around the Eno River, the area at the Medical Center, around Cone Mills --south
of the Eno, the alleyway in town, Cedar Lane, the cemetery and the hanging site
by Cameron Park School.
Item 2: Resolution approving a proposed amendment to the redevelopment plan
for the Old Cone Mills Plant Redevelopment Area.
Melissa Thomas was present and explained to the board that the amendment was
needed to be made due to 1) the structure of the Eno Dev. Corp. changing from
a Corporation with 80% owned by a New England Co. to a partnership with 40% now
owned by Lane Management and Development. 2) When the request for the bonds
was made it included purchasing the property from Cone Mills, since then Lane
Management has entered into an agreement with Cone where they would finance the
purchase so the entire 2.5 million would go toward the rehabilitation and not
toward the purchase of the property. The Bond Co. advised Lane Management
that since the structure of the Co. had changed and the purchase would no longer
come out of the bond money then the amendment needed to be made.
Goodwin stated to Thomas her concern about the parking lot and the need to
allow for storm water drainoff. Thomas said that CHR would be more familiar
with this matter, but she knew they had plans for landscaping.
