7 <br /> that any damage that occurs during that road construction would be brought up to the County's <br /> standards and DENR's standards. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to <br /> amend the resolution to add condition #15 to section F (Miscellaneous) that, "with respect to <br /> road construction, to the extent allowed under Orange County ordinances, the applicant/owner <br /> shall provide bonds sufficient to ensure the adequate protection of water quality within the law <br /> for a period of time that ensures that adverse effects have been mitigated." <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Commissioner Yuhasz was excused and Commissioner Jacobs had not <br /> arrived) <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Hemminger to accept a $5,460 in-lieu-of parkland dedication fee and approve The Lodges at <br /> Chapel Hill Preliminary Plat: <br /> - in accordance with the attached Resolution of Approval, as amended above, <br /> Attachment 6, page 27, and <br /> - consistent with Staff Findings listed above. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Commissioner Yuhasz excused and Commissioner Jacobs absent) <br /> d. Divestiture of County Real Property <br /> The Board considered the disposition of properties discussed for divestiture, and if <br /> recommended, set minimum bids for those properties where minimum bids have not previously <br /> been set. <br /> Director of Asset Management and Purchasing Services Pam Jones said that this item <br /> contains three separate areas in which the County is looking to divest itself of properties. The <br /> first two properties, which the Board has seen previously, are 112 and 118 N. Churton Street. <br /> At that time it was determined that there was insufficient protection of the historic value of the <br /> buildings and the Board requested that the staff go back and negotiate a historic preservation <br /> piece. This has been done and the properties are ready to go back out to bid. The Heritage <br /> Center representatives have been looking at one of these properties as a potential site for the <br /> Heritage Center. As recently as yesterday, the Mayor of Hillsborough has sent an email asking <br /> that the County delay the decision on 118 N. Churton Street. There were good bids on these <br /> properties. The property of 112 N. Churton Street, the smaller property, had a minimum of <br /> $130,000 and the 118 N. Churton Street property was $450,000. <br /> The next building is 129 East King Street, which is now vacant. The appraisal is <br /> $590,000 and this is the recommended minimum bid. <br /> The last property is 1914 New Hope Church Road, which was the previous home for <br /> Emergency Services. The Manager has spoken with the Health Director and there is an <br /> alternative use potential to co-locate the entire dental services in the County here (Whitted <br /> Building and Carr Mill Mall). The price for this property is $430,000. <br /> The minimum bids on all of these total $1.6 million. The proceeds would be split 60-40, <br /> with 60% of the proceeds going to the older schools and 40% being set aside in a reserve for <br /> the southwest branch library. <br /> Frank Clifton said that there is a business in Raleigh that wants to re-locate to one of <br /> these properties and the staff needs direction from Board of County Commissioners. <br />
