~ ` <br />t ~ ~ , <br />8 <br />entire area which is their recommendation tonight. <br />Anthony Nowell spoke as a member of the White Rock Church area. <br />Because Chapel Hill has changed their recommendation from a combination of one <br />and five acre lots to all one acre lots, they have no problem with that <br />recommendation. They would oppose the five acre lot size. <br />Thelma Austin, landowner of the White Rock Church area, stated that <br />it would definitely be a hardship if the lot size is more than one acre. <br />Louis Barber, on behalf of the pastor of the White Rock Church, <br />stated opposition to the five acre zoning. <br />Mayor Ken Broun clarified for the citizens in the audience that they <br />could not move to five acre zoning without calling another public hearing. <br />Joyce Brown stated that she was a member of the Small Area Plan Work <br />Group. Part of the plan was to keep neighborhoods intact and they are very <br />thankful that the citizens came forward. She supports the neighbors' desire <br />for this area. <br />Juanita Atwater Belton, property owner for at least 55 years said <br />the church has been there for 70 years. The land has been in her family many <br />years. She wants nothing to be changed from what it is now. <br />A motion was made by Chair Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis <br />to refer this item to the Town of Chapel Hill for a decision and to the Orange <br />County Planning Board for a recommendation no sooner than August 8, 1994. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />8.
