n ::~ ; The Chairman to the Board and the Fire Commissioner were authorized to sign the application. Mr. Whitted stated that the Board should continue with the plats to be presented by Chris Edwards. Mr. Edwards referred the Board to the Sketch Plan for Tumble Run. He stated that Tumble Run Subdivision was dividdd into three tracts of seven acres, fifty acres, and a six acre tract. He presented to the Board a second sketch plan. He stated that the Planning Board had re- viewed the sketch plan and had recommended that the roads be properly built to state standards, which would probably take out some of the roads. The Planning Berard also recommended that some of the lots be combined to make larger lots near the f7,ow channel. He stated that Tumble Run had been referred to Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Triangle J, and University Service for recommendations. Carrboro found proposal #2 more acceptable, which required that the roads be paved and were concerned about the 15~ slope. Chapel Hill recommended a buffer zone along the lake frontage and that development along creeks and the lake be on minimum 5 acre lots. They also recommended that lots B-1 and B-2 be combined into one lot since some of the worst soil conditions exist in this area. Chapel Hill also recommended that the water quality of the streams be monitored before, during and after development. Everette Billingsley also recom- mended this. Triangle J spoke of the septic tanks and filter fields. That the septic tanks be periodically inspected. They also were concerned that Lots B-1 and B-2 be increased in depth by relocating the abutting streets. Mr. Edwards stated that the Planning Board favored Chapel Hill's recommendation regarding lots B-1 and B-2. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Edwards. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he was impressed with the work to put a proposal into the framework of amendments that had not been passed. Mr. Edwards was asked to work with Triangle J to see if their recommendations could be followed through. The Board agreed that the soil survey should be looked at and an in-depth study of each lot. Mr. Gustaveson asked that Mr. Edwards inquire about the 200 feet buffer zone as opposed to the 100 feet buffer zone. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 20 on the agenda: The Executive Committee of the Emergency Medical Service recommends the Orange County Board of Commissioner apply to the Governors Highway Safety Committee, on behalf of the Orange County Rescue Squad, for a grant of $10,000 to acquire an ambulance. Local match of $1p,000 must be appropriated at the time this application is filed. Chairman Whitted recognized Bill Heriford, Dick Beauchaine and Benny Cecil from the Emergency Medical Service. Mr. Cecil stated that the new unit would be equipped with a telementry. The vehicle would be stationed in Hillsborough and wouJ,d be similar to the vehicle that Hillsborough now has. ~ Discussion ensued between the Board and representatives from Emergency Medical Service. Commissioner Gustaveson questioned if the Emergency P4edical Service had taken a look at all the Rescue Squads in the County to see if Hillsborough should have first priority for the vehicle. Mr. Beauchaine replied that Hillsborough met all the criteria for the ambulance. Upon motion of Commissioner Flalker, seconded by Commissioner Gustavesion, it was moved and adopted that the County make applica- tion to the Governors Highway Safety Committee for a grant of $10,000 to acquire an ambulance and that these funds shall come from the Contin- gency Fund.
