(~v .) Gommissioner Willhoit suggested that the Board give .specific dizec- tions to the Planning Staff, and that a xe.y~.eFt o~ pxpg~e~s ~*}ade ~.n establishing the Councils be made at each Gommissioner~s meet7.ng. Mrs Willhoit added that he felt the establishing of the Councils could be done fairly quickly. It was pointed out that when the Advisory Councils were first conceived last December, the primary function was to develop the land use plan and the zoning map. The recommendation of the Planning Boaz'd to the Commissioners is that the Advisory Councils study the Subdivision Regulations before extending county-wide. Gommissioner Gustaveson recommended that the third Tuesday 7,n ..: September be scheduled as the time to consider implementing the SuFa~ division Regulations county-wide and that this implementing would be no sooner than 30 days from the thixd Tuesday, but could be longer if -° there is a need for further discussion Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner ~7hitted, it was moved and adopted that the Board will review the proposed Subs division Regulations on September 20, 1977, an progress on the Advisory Councils and the educational program. Concerning the amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance, Comm3.ssioner Willhoit moved that the County Attorney review the proposed changes to the amendments, clarify the changes with the Planning Board, have the document retyped and then submit again to the Commissioners for approval. This motion died for lack of a second, The County Attorney cited sertain problems he had with the changes to the amendments. Section III-D-4, the wording was changed to read, "The following agennies shall review and certify areas of responsibility...." Section IV B 6, Subsection (c) will be added and will read.... "It is not the intend of this section that the terms of any easement or way required above be dictated by Orange County. Any such terms and conditions may be negotiated between the developer/land owner and utility companies, provided however, that where public water and sewer are re- gired for approval the Planning Board may require an instrument executed by the developer/land owner and utility company setting forth said terms and conditions at the time the preliminary plan is reviewed by the Planning Board." The new wording for Section Vx22-A: Amendments is as follows: "...initiated by the Board of Commissioners, by the County P..lanning Board, or by petition of any citizen of Orange County. After due con- sideration, the Planning Board may initiate the amendment provers...." Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he felt the recommendation of the Planning Board to implememt the amendment in Chapel Hill and Eno Townsfii_ps by July 19, 1977 is too soon and recommended that implementation be effective after the August meeting of the Planning Board. Commissioner Gustaveson then moved that the amendments to the Sub- division Ordinance be effective in Chapel Hill and Eno Township after the August meeting of the Planning Board -August 16,1977. Commissioner Willhoit seconded the motion. Commissioner Pinney stated that he owned 40 acres of land in Chapel Hill Township and he saw no problems with the Ordinance hurting his land and he would vote for the implementation of the Ordinance. Commissioners .. Pinney called for the question. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. Mr. Gledhill brought to the attention of the Board a question which was raised at a previous meeting regarding the vote of the Planning Board. He stated that the Planning Board establsihed their awn rules as to whether or not a member could abstain from voting.
