~: Mr. Edwards stated that University Service could not serve this area with water because of the height. Discussion ensued regarding the 15~ slope. Mr. Edwards stated that if septic tanks were located in the area where there is l5~ slope, that grading would be done to alleviate the slope problem. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted that the preliminary plat of Hunters Ridge be approved. 6. Brookview: This plat proposes division of a twenty-six acre tract most of which is situated within the Chapel Hill zoning juris- ~ diction. The Planning Board unanimously approved the plat on the assumption the development meets standards required by the Chapel Hill Planning Ordinance. Mr. Edwards stated that the plat had been drawn to reflect Chapel Hill's recommendation. He stated that the primary change is in the road which was to be a public road, but that Chapel Hill had changed the construction standards from a public road. He stated that the cross section of the road would be 20 feet instead of 27 feet. This cross section represents a variance from the Town's standards and as a public road, the County would also have to grant a variance from our standards. Mr. Edwards recommended that the County go along with Chapel Hill's re- commendation. Discussion ensued regarding the variance recommended by Chapeh Hill. ' Commissioner' Pinney stated that the road should be built to state standards, both ends of it, and that Chapel Hill should give a variance from its standards so that the state can maintain the road. Mr. Edwards stated that he would check this recommendation with Chapel Hill. Commissioner Pinney moved that this plat be approved. Commissioner Walker seconded the motion. Further discussion ensued regarding the slope of the land and septic tank problems. Mr. Edwards stated an erosion control plan would have to be approved before the final plat is submitted. The Chairman called for the vote on the motion. All members of the Board voted aye and the motion was declared passed. The Chairman referred to the first item listed on the plats, the Rezoning request. The County Attorney suggested that another motion be made stating that the rezoning request be denied because it is not consistant with the Orange County Zoning Plan. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the rezoning request to rezone from residential to general, commercial property on the west side of Hwy. 86 be denied because it is not consistant with the Orange County Zoning Plan. Commissioner Garrett seconded the motion. Voting aye were Commissioners Garrett, Gustaveson and Whitted. Voting nay were Commissioners Pinney and Walker. The motion was declared passed.
