735 Commissioner Whitted said the mobile homes currently in the area would be in compliance and any additional mobile homes an individual lots and mobile home parks would be permitted in the rural extraterritorial area through a special use permit. He said if the area were annexed, this would change. Commissioner Willhoit said he would like to have a joint meeting with the Chapel Hill Aldermen to discuss planning in general. He suggested a meeting on November B or November 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Municipal Building in Chapel Hill to discuss extraterritorial planning and the implementation of the resolution. Commissioner Gustaveson told the Board the situation was urgent and he recom- mended voting now: Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, moved to adopt a Resolution Approving a Request made by the Town of Chapel Hill to Orange County for an Extension of Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction and to set up a schedule to meet with the Chapel Hill' Aldermen. Commissioner Gustaveson said he wanted to get Orange Comprehensive Planning Council back on track. Commissioner Willhoit expressed his concern about the implementation of Sec- tion 2 of the resolution. Commissioner Whitted said he felt it was important for tP~e Board to keep on track and give a clear statement of general intention so we could get in the arena and start discussions.

He asked the Board to consider extending the area to 500 feet, which would include the mobile home park. Gommissioner Walker expressed his apposition to voting on this issue and requested more time. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Corrmiissioner Gustaveson, to amend the description in the resolution from 30D'feet to 500 feet. Vote: ayes, Commissioners Whitted, Willhoit, Gustaveson and Pinney; noes, Commissioner Walker. Agenda Item 4: ~pointment of Ex Officio Members to the County Planunin9 Board Mr. Ben Lloyd asked what the duties of the ex officio member would be. Commissioner Willhoit told him these members would be notified of meetings directly, have the same duties as Planning Board members, but would not have authority to vote. Mr. Lloyd was concerned Commissioner Willhoit was suggesting the ex officio members come from Chapel Hill. Commissioner Willhoit said his concern was that the Board provide adequate planning throughout the county. Mr. Lloyd wanted to see the landowners at the northern end of the county affect the Planning Board. Commissioner Willhoit said the Planning Board has set up township advisory councils and has specifically excluded people who live in municipalities and people who live in extraterritorial jurisdiction from serving on these councils. He said the ordinance provides for 12 Planning Board members and appointment of ex officio members from other governmental units or agencies. Mr. Lloyd felt these township advisory councils had not affected the Board and their recommendations had been overridden. Commissioner Willhoit explained that all recommendations had been taken into consideration and some had been accep±ed. Mr. Lloyd said he felt the people in northern Drange County had been neglected in land use planning and he wanted people appointed to the Planning Board with the entire county's interest at heart. Commissioner Willhoit said he hoped we can work toward a joint planning effort with the municipalities rather than two efforts - one concerned with urban problems and one concerned with rural problems.
