two lots with a short private road.
Rigsbee stated that this was only a sketch and other surveying
information would be added. Rigsbee said a visit to the property
showed an existing driveway and she recommended that the short

there would only be one entrance. Barnes agreed.

Zoning Ordinance as mandating the Planning Board to prepare and/or

without a Land Use Plan that with coming growth the area may start
sprawling and inappropriate growth (development) may take place.

Culbreth suggested that we update the 1977 Plan. +.
Page stated that Orange County is preparing to update the Hillsbor-
ough Township Land Use Plan and feels that we should work with
Orange County and establish a rapport and work mutually with them
in the development of a plan.
Davis agreed stating that alot of County projects become Town
projects.
PLANNING BOARD MINUTES, 8/6/87
PAGE 2
Rose asked the Board if they would like to establish an Ad Hoc
Committee to revise and update the 1977 Land Use Plan and they
unanimously agreed.
Volunteers to work on the Land Use Plan are Culbreth (Leader),
Page, Davis, Cole and Moore.
ADDITION: Rigsbee presented the courtesy review from Orange County in which
Chandler Concrete is requesting an amendment to the Land Use Plan.
Chandler Concrete (4.45..32) is requesting an additional 0.59 acres
for inclusion in the commercial -industrial transition activity node.
Page recommended denial as rezoning would promote future encroachment
toward the neighboring residential properties to the east.
Culbreth seconded.
Rose stated that if all they wanted to do was plant trees that they
could do that and continue their plant operations under their
current zoning.
Page stated that due to a lack of information and due to past
lack of credibility on Chandler's part that it should be denied.
Unanimous.
ITEM #4: Capps presented the rezoning request for the Meadowlands (4.40.A.
11 & 14) showing the existing zoning, the new zoning and the
realignment of Meadowdrive Rd. There will be approximately 10
acres greater in the Industrial zoning.
Page asked about the trees that were cut down for the road.
Horton explained that D.O.T. required them to cut several large trees
but they have gone through great lengths to save trees.
Rigsbee asked about buffers and screening along I-85 and Capps
stated that it would be kept as is and allow companys to plant
as they wanted. He said that they won't let the front door of
Hillsborough be the back door of the Industrial Park.
Capps stated that Highway 70 would have a left turn lane and a
deceleration lane.
Brody moved to forward a pos itive recommendation to Orange County
on the rezoning of the Meadowlands.
Moore seconded.
Culbreth noted that the letter from Orange County showed figures
that don't add up.
Unanimous.
ITEM #9: Rigsbee distributed Section 5.22 of the Zoning Ordinance which was
inadvertently omitted at printing which says that a structure may
not exceed the height of Eno Mountain. The Board agreed that Eno
Mountain is the same as Occoneechee Mountain. Also, in determining
the maximum height, the Board had understood that that height would
be the height of the base of the watchtower on the mountain. They
wondered if Tom Roberts' and Melissa Thomas' Woodstone Subdivision
would have restrictive covenants that address site interference
from the right-of-way and also site interference on a lot by lot
basis.
