Commissioner Gordon pointed out that the Planning Board took separate votes on <br /> each tract. She asked why this was and said that it looks like it was concern for the neighbors <br /> impacted and the fact that they would not have the ability to participate in the special use <br /> permitting process at all. <br /> Robert Davis said that the vote was 6-2 for the south tract and unanimous for the north <br /> tract. A portion of it was a misunderstanding that the buffer was going down to 25 feet. Once <br /> it was explained that the buffer was 50 feet, there was less concern. The main thing is that <br /> there were two residents within Cornwallis Hills that were asking that the ED-LO-1 stay in place <br /> because it requires a special use permit within a certain distance. If the ED-LO-1 stays in <br /> place, then potentially a seven-story building could come online and would have to be <br /> approved because it meets the requirements. <br /> Craig Benedict said that these lands are still within the EDD and the Design Manual still <br /> applies. The design manual has guidelines such as interconnectivity. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to <br /> close the public hearing. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to <br /> approve tract#1, 1) receiving the Planning Board recommendation; 2) to close the public <br /> hearing and 3) to consider approval of a County-initiated general use zoning atlas amendment <br /> petition in the Hillsborough Area EDD. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs <br /> to approve tract#2 1) receiving the Planning Board recommendation; 2) to close the public <br /> hearing and 3) to consider approval of a County-initiated general use zoning atlas amendment <br /> petition in the Hillsborough Area EDD. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, 1 (Commissioner Gordon — because of arguments from the Planning <br /> Board about impact on neighbors and giving up the special use permit process) <br /> 6.
