Cates asked to recognized and commended the Planning Board
for their interest and work. He said that he will have a
Christmas present for everyone if all goes well. He also
said that he was involved in straightening Eno Mountain Rd
at which time a new bridge would be constructed. Rigsbee
mentioned the Occoneechee Mountain Park Committee and Cates
will receive that information.
ITEM #3: Rigsbee distributed the new Official Zoning Map and maps of
the Eno Entranceway.
_fEM #4: Rose and Rigsbee are going to an agenda setting workshop and
in February there will be a workshop for all Planning Board
members.
ITEM #5: The Board discussed parking and realizesthat land is at a
premium, moderate aesthetics are wanted but at a minimum
cost to the developer. There are some diagrams in the rear
of the Ordinance that are not representative of what the
community wants and the Board felt we should eliminate these
diagrams and develop our own. Landscaping is desirable for
breaking the rush of stormwater, shade and breaking up the
asphalt landscape. The 3 foot landscaping around buildings
between parking areas may not be necessary in heavy pedestrian
areas. Compact car spaces for a small percentage of large
parking lots are desirable. Parking areas for existing uses
should be brought to the Board of Adjustment - those parking
areas are best treated through the variance process.
ITEM #6: Cates endorses continued work on the Subdivision Regulations:..
Rigsbee is to contact Michael Brough and Rich Ducker for their
comments on the proposed Sub Regs.
Public roads should be paved but there could be a one lot
exception.
Buffers along the interstate should be broken up at inter-
changes with commercial nodes where the standards could be
less strict and have good information for travellers.

ITEM #7: Rigsbee explained that Orange County requires that our
Zoning Ordinance meet Triange J's interstate standards before
they would release us from their Sub Reg control. Page,
Rose and Cheshire will work with Rigsbee to develop amendments
to the Ordinance not much change is needed.
ITEM # 8: The Land Use Plan revisions will start in earnest in 1988.
Hopefully, Rigsbee will be taking a Land Us Planning course
at UNC -Chapel Hill starting in January.
ITEM #9: Rose related the discussion of the Community Appearance
Guideline Committee on the Eno Entranceway. The Board felt
that there was a very dangerous traffic problem at the
southwest corner of Margaret Ln. because of the parking and
driveways and high use of the area. The NCDOT should be
contacted for their input. There is parking available in the
rear of the building and would be used more if the B & H Video
would open up their back doors.
