Commissioner Jacobs said that this is a recommendation to start an access management plan for US 70, including the intersection of US 70/NC 86/NC 57. He said that he recalls that it was open ended as to when it would begin. He asked Craig Benedict if it would fit into the workload to initiate in the fall. Craig Benedict said that he would develop a timeline with the Manager. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to approve the resolution, which is incorporated by reference, endorsing the US 70/Cornelius Street Corridor Strategic Plan and that preparation of an access management plan (to include appointment of a Town/County work group) be a topic for discussion as directed by the BOCC and County Manager.

Chapel Hill Joint Planning Transition Area Zoning Atlas Amendment — Homestead Twin Towns (JPA-CH-Z-1-07) The Board considered approval of a petition presented at the April 26, 2007 Joint Planning Area Public Hearing to rezone 21.5 acres at the southwest corner of Homestead Road and Seawell School Road. Geof Gledhill made reference to some handwritten changes to the resolution to act with the joint planning agreement process. It was not a substantive change. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve the proposed rezoning from Chapel Hill R-2 to the Chapel Hill R-4-C zoning district, in accordance with the resolution, as amended by Geof Gledhill, which is incorporated by reference. VOTE: UNANIMOUS dd. County Campus Approval of Purchase Agreement and Construction Manager at Risk Contract The Board considered approving a Purchase Agreement(s) and Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) agreement(s) associated with the purchase and construction of facilities on the county campus off of West Margaret Lane, Hillsborough and authorizing the Chair to sign. Commissioner Gordon said that she found critical documents that were not on the website for the public. For example, the Library and Purchasing Sale Agreement (exhibit B and exhibit C). Also, General Conditions of Construction Manager at Risk and Agreement of Construction Manager Services were not there. She is concerned that these documents have not been made available. Geof Gledhill said that these documents will not be available until the Construction Manager at Risk bids the project. The CMR cannot bid the project until the County authorizes the CMR contract and the purchase agreement. As the pieces fall into place, this information will be provided to the Board. Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that the building documents are online. Commissioner Gordon said that it took time to look through this and she wanted to make sure the public knew what was going on. She said that there was not mention of the library budget or the total budget and how the CMR worked. Pam Jones said that this is a continuation of actions taken in November. It is kind of a foundation that has been building up. Commissioner Jacobs suggested posting every document available up to now and Laura Blackmon suggested explaining what is missing and why.
