r. _ - T 1~ ' ~ +5M t f R f i The Planning Director said Triangle Services was issued a building permit on December 11, 1978. He said no effective zoning or subdivision ordinance exists in the extraterritorial area. Zoning is in limbo until the Town surveys the area. Commissioner Whitted asked what would prevent Triangle Services from constructing a building and operating a commercial venture. The Planning Director said Triangle has received a permit from the State Department of Transportation for access to the road and has received an air pollution permit from the State Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. There is a possibility Triangle might need another inspection for air pollution but they seem to have all the permits needed fqr that area. The County Manager asked what the Town of Hillsborough was doing to try to effect zoning in the extraterritorial area. The Planning Director Said the Town has drawn a circle around Hillsborough defining the extra- territorial area but they have not surveyed that area. He said he thought there were some budgetary problems. Commissioner Gustaveson said he hoped the Hillsborough Township Advisory Council would push the Planning Board and the Commissioners to get the township zoned. He felt this type situation was a good example of why Hillsborough needed zoning. He said zoning would prevent future commercial ventures from destroying residential property values. Commissioner ldalker said there is no vehicle via Town of Hillsborough or Orange County to stop Triangle. He suggested the group meet with the owner of Triangle and let him know construction is not desirable in the community. Mr. Larry Talbert asked whether the Commissioners could temporarily rescind the building permit until further study was made. Commissioner Walker said if the building meets qualifications, neither the Town nor -- the County has authority.to rescind the permit. He asked the Planning Director what information was gathered at the time the applicant applied for the permit. The Planning Director said the applicant had to prove he had a suitable lot under subdivision regulations, apply for a permit and pay the fee.
