:. ": <br />S..J ~-._~ _.~ <br />felt it would be by Chapel Hill rather than Carrboro. He noted that <br />there was no requirement that a road be used to draw a dividing Line <br />between jurisdictions; it was not logical to divide the Rogers Road <br />community between the jurisdictions of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, nor far <br />Fox Meadow to be placed in Carrboro's jurisdiction. He stated that an -- <br />established community should have more weight in determining future land s' <br />use rather than those -yet to be developed. He indicated he felt the <br />Board was receptive to the request being made by those residents of Fox <br />Meadow, but expressed concern that the vote on the plan was going to take <br />place too quickly. <br />CAREY FLOYD , Resident of Fox Meadow, expressed respect for the Boards <br />and the point which had been reached in Joint Planning and noted that <br />his disagreement was not with the concept of Joint Planning but with the <br />location of the dividing line. He stated that he felt a lOp~ <br />representation of a compact community should be considered with high <br />weight in the decision on this matter. The concern is that the line down <br />Rogers Road be shifted to the west as there is a great deal of land out <br />there with very low density which could be divided between Chapel Hill <br />and Carrboro leaving Fox Meadow on the Chapel Hill side of the line. <br />ALICE CORDON , former Planning Board member, read a prepared statement. <br />A copy of that statement is in the permanent agenda file located in <br />the Clerk's office. <br />JULIE ANDRESEN responded to Dr. Gordon that the ten-day time period for <br />courtesy review was only if Orange County is in agreement. If Orange <br />County is not in agreement, the thirty--day review period is still in <br />effect. Also, in Section 2.6.D, Ms. Andresen noted that no one is <br />precluded from making recommended changes. <br />JEF submitted a statement which was read by Chair Marshall. (A copy of <br />the statement is in the agenda file located in the Clerk's office.) <br />RANDY DANZIGER , Resident of Calvander, indicated he was impressed that a <br />final agreement was close to being signed, but expressed a concern that <br />there was insufficient restrictive language in the Land Use Plan to <br />restrict development in the watershed. He asked that the Boards get <br />clear opinions from at least two disinterested counsels that the <br />ordinance modifications and agreements presented will indeed prevent <br />development in the watershed. He expressed support for the fifteen-day <br />minimum period for passing judgment on an amendment. He felt this was <br />adequate time for citizen concerns to be presented. He also requested <br />that the line running from the Calvander intersection back to Carrboro <br />city limits be shifted to the edge of the Hillsborough Road right-of-way <br />or to the center line of the road. He felt this could prevent future <br />conflict for the area between Carrboro city limits and Calvander. <br />JAMES PoRTO , Mayor of Carrboro, stated that the Boards had issued <br />resolutions to initiate a moratorium on water/sewer extensions until such <br />time as the OWASA watershed study is completed. He noted that his Board <br />had requested that letters be sent to the other governmental Boards <br />asking that a moratorium also be placed on community septic systems and <br />package treatment plants in the watershed. This would place a moratorium <br />on large-scale development in the watershed. <br />JAMES E. PLYMIRE commended the Boards for their perseverance in devel- <br />oping a Joint Planning Agreement. He stated the dividing line on Rogers <br />Road could create an inefficiency for the controlling jurisdiction. <br />ROGER POPE President of Fox Meadow Subdivision, indicated he preferred <br />
