He stated the public had no reason to expect this issue to be decided until after the Planning Board made its recommendation concerning extraterritorial extension for the Town of Chapel Hill. Commissioner Gustaveson pointed out that the Planning Board's only request to the Board of Commissioners when i.t submitted its initial recommendation was that a public hearing be held before the Board of Commissioners made a final decision on the request of the Town. Commissioner Willhoit then moved Chapel Hill be granted extraterritorial jurisdiction over the area to the east of a line commencing at a point that is 300 feet west of the center line of State Highway 86 and situated on ttxe northern boundary line of the present extraterritorial coning jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill and running parallel with Highway 86 to a point 3D0 feet north of Weaver Dairy Road; then running in an easterly direction, parallel with and 300 feet north of Weaver Dairy Road to Piney Mountain Road; then running in a southerly direction along Piney Mountain Road until it intersects the present zoning jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill. Commissioner Willhoit stated his reasoning behind this request revolved around the July 19th recommendation of the Orange County Planning Boards endorsing a compromise solution of the original request from the Town of Chapel Hill. At present, within the area he described, there are several requests for commercial rezoning. The county land use brdinance, he felt, was not designed to handle such a rezoning in a heavily populated area. Further, any modification of the Chapel Hill zoning ordinance designed to accomodate mobile homes is several months away. Decision of this commercial rezoning should not be delayed too long. Commissioner Walker observed that if the Chapel Hill ordinance was to be modified to do only that which the county ordinance currently does, there seems to be no real reason for this extension. Commissioner Whitted asked the County Attorrey how he felt we should proceed. The Attorney replied it seemed consistent with the zoning ordinance for the Board of County Correnissioners to await a recommendation of the Planning Board. Planning Board member Lindsay Efland stated that a motion by the Board of Commissioners today would catch the Planning Board by surprise. Further, the Planning Board. was not un- animous in its recommendation concerning extension. Commissioner Whitted stated tha. he felt action today would break into a process already initiated. Further., he felt those persons requesting rezoning in this area did not feel the County Commissioners really intended to act on this issue until the extraterritorial question had been resolved. Commissioner Gustaveson stated he felt the County should advise developers it was not going to consider this issue until the extraterritorial question had been resolved.
