. ~.. .. ... _. ~2 -. 730 procedures were followed. Motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Pinney said the resolution would not take effect until Chapel Hill amended its zoning ordinance. Commissioner Willhoit said he did not address the question of individual mobile homes within the transitional zone because it was a moat point. Currently, there are only seven mobile homes in the proposed extension area and market/ economic factors will preclude further mobile home additions. He said it was _ his understanding that Chapel Hill intended to amend its zoning ordinance to make it consistent with the county's in dealing with mobile homes in the rural trans- ition area and to bring their mobile home park regulation up to the county's. Mobi'.,. home parks will be permitted in transition as well as the rural transition area. Commissioner Whitted expressed concern about individual mobile homes presently in the rural transition area, the effect of government vs. non-government and vrhether, after the transfer, individual mobile homes would be allowed on lots. He said he had no problem with the wording, mobile home parks, but he would like to see individual mobile homes incorporated into the motion. Commissioner Pinney said the resolution should require Chapel Hill amend its ordinance before land is turned over to them. If the land is turned over to Chapel Hill before they amend the ordinance, mobile home parks will come in non- conforming. Commissioner Gustaveson said there had been many technical delays and the problem continued to remain critical. He wanted to go ahead and act in good faith that Chapel dill would amend its zoning map and ordinance. Mrs. Chi to'.d the Board the mobile home issue was not the only issue residents of the area were concerned about. She said residents do not want to be governed by a regulatory group over which they have no authority. The residents feel the Co!.!nty Commissioners are their only representatives. Upon questioning, it was determined that Mrs. Chi did not live within the extension area proposed in the motion on the floor. Commissioner Whitted told the audience representation and mobile home issue had been predominant in the Commissioner's discussions. Mrs. Barbour said Chapel Hill was not voting until November 14 and action by the Commissioners would be premature and against the wishes of the people. She felt two public hearings and the Planning_Board meetings were both negative. Commissioner Willhoit indicated that no one in the proposed area spoke against the extension and,. in fact, at the second public hearing there was a mass exodus of residents of Cedar Hills and Countyside who spoke against the rezoning, which indicated their lack of opposition to the extension. Ms. Joyce Cutlow, representing the League of Women Voters,. spoke in favor of extension. Ms. Cuttino, a representative of Cedar Hill subdivision spoke in favor of extension. The County Attorney said even though Chapel Hill may have requested extension of the planning jurisdiction, the resolution requests they look again. He said the resolution takes in all recommendations of the .j.oint committee. Commissioner Willhoit's original motion was amended as follows: The County Attorney is to redraft a mutual reciprocal resolution that describes an area beginning 300 feet west of the center line of Highway Bfi at the present jurisdiction.. north to the midpoint of the power line easement, east along the power line easement to the existing planning jurisdiction.
