Don Epling, Associate University Counselor at Duke, stated that they are in the process of studying the purposes and goals for the use of Duke Forest land. He indicated that Duke does not object to any particular land use plan presented to date. The study will take into account haw development may impact and how that fits in.

He referred to a statement made in the Planning Board minutes which talked about the densities not being consistent with the Duke Forest recommendations. Commissioner Hartwell questioned the land use designation for the future landfill site and Collins indicated that it is property that is not zoned for a land use or a landfill but is a potential landfill site. Before the property could be used as a landfill a special use permit would have to be approved by the Commissioners. .Commissioner Hartwell then requested that the status of the property be more clearly shown on County planning .maps shown to the public. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approved the Planning Board recommendation as stated below: (1) Approval of the Transition Area extension into the full. extent of the Bolin Creek basin except in Duke Forest and for those properties abutting Duke Forest, and that two designations of Transition Area be established - Transition I and II. Area I would include that area previously designated for urban expansion. Area II would include the extended area.
