• <br /> 11 <br /> Character Study Committee is taking around to the various township <br /> meetings now. The strategies that are included in the agreement are <br /> those that were prepared for the Rural Buffer. They have not been <br /> adopted and were provided only as an illustration of the different <br /> development options. The concern is that the Rural Character Study <br /> Committee is suggesting that in areas around Hillsborough by in large <br /> have a density of one dwelling unit per acre. The Rural Character <br /> strategies that are in draft form would in essence change that so that <br /> there is a base density of one dwelling unit per two acres. If this <br /> was changed to 40, 000 sq. ft. lots, at least a third of the total tract <br /> would have to be retained in open space. Rose's concern is that these <br /> strategies are in essence decreasing the permitted density below what <br /> it is now around Hillsborough. <br /> The Board agreed to have a work session with the Town of <br /> Hillsborough. They asked the Manager to bring back at the next meeting <br /> a revised time schedule. At the work session they can discuss the <br /> outcome of the rural character township meetings. <br /> F. STANDARDIZED FIRE DISTRICT CONTRACT <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the general form and content of the <br /> proposed standardized fire service contract as presented and authorize <br /> the Chair to sign individual contracts with each volunteer fire <br /> department as they are completed. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> IX.

MINUTES <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Insko to approve the minutes for August 5, 1991 as amended. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> XIV.
