APPROVED PLANNING BOARD MINUTES NOVEMBER 11, 1998 18 Strayhorn stated that he felt it was a good plan and that was the location where a village should be. He would prefer to see less open space in the outskirts of Carrboro and more open space in the rural part of the County. He continued that everyone seemed to want to preserve agricultural land by zoning, without paying for it. Having a receiving area is a way to require developers to pay rural citizens for the open space. The tendency seems to be that if a developer is given incentives to preserve sensitive areas, we assume that the County is giving something away for nothing. Strayhorn continued that was not the way he viewed it. He felt we should give the developer something if he is doing something that we prefer he do. He also stated that he would prefer that the approval process remain joint and that he would not be in favor of an increase in setbacks. He reiterated that he felt it was a good plan; however, he was not sure that a rural village development would occur in the near future.

Barrows asked if this would address Brooks concern and she agreed that it would.
