~o Chapel Hill Planning Board. Mr. Moore stated further that a cul-de-sac would not solve the problem of access, but would increase the possibility of the land being subdivided. He added that the cul-de-sac would not pre- vent a land owner from putting a driveway onto Highway 86. The heirs had agreed to restrict access to the highway by appropriate documents. He urged that the plat be approved with the stipulations as set forth by the County Planning Board. Commissioner Gustavesan stated that the Board must be careful what it approves with access to Hwy. 86 since this was within the transitional area of Chapel Hill. He stated that the Board should take seriously the re' commendations of the Chapel Hill Planning Board. Gommissoner Walker moved that the plat be approved with the recom- mendations of the County Planning Board and with restriction of access - to Hwy #86 to set out in the deed. Commissioner Pinney seconded the motion. Discussion ensued about the possibility of one central driveway on to Highway $6 and the four lots using the one driveway. Commissioner Willhoit stated that to overlook the sewer easement as recommended by Chapel Hill would commit the County Board to not require sewer easements for any property in this transitional area in the future. He stated that he would like to see the recommendations of Chapel Hill for sewer easement be. followed. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Walker amended his original motion to stated that a single driveway be allowed and that this be set out in proper deed restric- tion. The County Attorney stated that he was not sure what power existed to' farce a developer to dedicate an easement without a plan in mind. He stated that requiring a set back was within the power of this Board. Commissioner Pinney called for the question. Chairman Whitted stated that the motion was that the plat be approved with the observance of a 25 foot set back on either side of the stream, a 20 foot strip easement be dedicated for highway purposes, and that one common driveway be allowed and that this be set forth in the deed. The Chairman called far the vote on the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. Chairman Whitted deferred from Item 4. He stated that Donald Dickerson was present and wished to present to the Board the matter of the sale of property at public auction due to tax foreclosure. This property is located in Chapel Hill Township in the Town of Carrboro. The property was sold to Ronald Hyatt on January 18, 1977, at the price of $3,800.
