Planning Board member Chris <br />Best explained that the only two changes being requested for which infor- <br />mation has not been received is the possible population impact of Treyburn <br />and any watershed protection that Durham may want Orange County to be <br />involved in. Information is expected to be received by the public <br />hearing. <br />It was decided that specific references to growth and watershed <br />protection will be included in the advertisement. <br />Discussion ensued on Chandler Concrete. The County Attorney <br />stated that the court decision did not address the operation but only the <br />plans. There is potentially an advantage to continuing to encourage <br />Chandler Concrete to request a Special Use Permit so that the entire <br />concrete plant operation is included in .the Special Use Permit application <br />because there are no screening requirements for their present operation. <br />Chair Marshall suggested setting a special public hearing and if <br />Chandler does not comply with providing the necessary application, that <br />further action be taken. <br />It was decided that a meeting notice far Chandler Concrete will be <br />prepared and distributed to the Commissioners. <br />'::. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner <br />
