Mayor -Cates opened the meeting and turned the meeting over to
William Crowther who welcomed the public and noted the procedure of
hearing the public hearing items.
ITEM #1: The rezoning of a 74.83 acre tract for Centerpointe Development Inc.
located on the east side of S. Churton St. from AR to GC was
presented by Rigsbee. She showed the location on a display map and
said that the surrounding zoning was 01 to the north, and residential
to the north, south, east, and west. She read portions of the Neal
Littman letter (agenda) and said that they will submit a request
for rezoning the balance of the property upon its annexation and
completion of the development plan. Some areas will need zoning
other than GC. She read the intent and application criteria of
GC zoning (agenda) and reviewed the screening notes, current uses
and history of the property (agenda). She read the future require-
ments (agenda). She summarized a letter of Danny Rogers, NCDOT
Thoroughfare Planning, (which board members had a copy of) and said
that the General Statutes do allow for requiring dedication of
a thoroughfare in the zoning and subdivision ordinances. She said
that Hillsborough ordinances allow for dedication of thoroughfare
at the subdivision stage but the zoning ordinance does not mention
dedication of thoroughfare so she thought that it would not be
appropriate to require dedication at this time.
Mayor Cates asked about the stream buffer along Cates Creek and
Rigsbee replied that a 50 foot buffer as measured from the middle
of the stream is required.
Remus Smith asked about extending Oakdale Dr. through to Hwy 86 and
Rigsbee said that it could be required at the subdivision stage.
Margaret Moore asked if there willbarterial streets in the acreage
and Rigsbee responded that the plans are not yet developed showing
the street system.
Cecil Miller asked how the parcel would have access onto S. Churton
and Rigsbee responded that other streets would be shown at the
subdivision stage.
Neal Littman, speaking for Centerpointe, said that legally they
cannot make application for zoning of a 174.9 acre parcel because
only the area north of Cates Creek is now in the Town's zoning area.
He said that the northern part of this parcel is served by Town

water and sewer. Littman said that there are plans to develop at
first offices, distribution, and flex space where water useage is
quite low. As soon as they complete development plans and acquire
the remainder of the property, they will submit an annexation request,
rezoning, and subdivision requests. This is just the first step.
There was no public comment.
ITEM #2: The Text Amendment to Section 11.10 to require a full year waiting
period from the time a text or map amendment is acted upon until
it can be resubmitted by a citizen was explained by Rigsbee. She
read. the changes (agenda).
Horace Johnson asked how an amendment could be reconsidered before thf
year is up and Rigsbee said that the Board of Commissioners is
allowed to initiate an amendment before the.year is up. She said thal
a Town Board member would have to sponsor the amendment for a
citizen and the Board agree if a citizen wanted a change before the
year expired.
Crowther said that this amendment was requested by the Planning
Board and felt that Rigsbee's rewrite of Section 11.10 is good.
There was rio public comment.
ITEM #3: The Text Amendment to Section 6.6 to require parking standards at
schools: elementary, middle, and kindergarten to be one space per
staff member plus 15 visitor spaces was --presented by Rigsbee. She
said that this was brought to the Planning Board' -s attention because
of the addition at Central Elementary School and Dr. Dan Lunsford
asked the Board to reconsider the parking standard.. She said that
Dr. Lunsford had asked for the above standard and the Planning
Board agreed. She said that after thinking about the requirement
she thought that because enrollments in schools vary it may be good
to base.the extra visitor spaces on enrollment. Therefore she
suggests that the parking requirement could read: One space per
staff member plus one visitor space for every 25 students. She said
that she checked the ordinances from Orange County, Chapel Hill, and
Carbboro and that this standard exceeds the above.
Mayor Cates asked if this included secondary schools and Rigsbee said
no, only elementary, middle and kindergarten.
Smith asked if her recommendation would accomodate the needs at
Central Elementary and she said yes that she had checked the
enrollment there and based,the calculation upon that enrollment.
Crowther said that this was brought forth
as far as the Chair was concerned that the
meets the wishes of the Board.
There was no public comment.
The Public Hearing was adjourned.
