February 27 Public Hearing held April 3 Board of Commissioners considers March 20 Planning Board recommendation. Commissioner Hartwell stated he talked with a young man with the Save Duke Forest group and that a request from the University may be for a modification of the Public Interest District or the introduction of a new zoning classification similar to the present PID. The new zoning classification would allow for carrying out the sort of research that the University has in mind on some parcels which involves sometimes the construction of a meteorological tower and sometimes a position of a trailer as a temporary research headquarters or may involve construction of a greenhouse. Temporary buildings are not permitted in the PID classification. He asked if the proposed work plan would allow for the development and/or modification of the zoning district. Marvin Collins stated that the zoning proposals presented at the public hearing will address the concerns expressed by Commissioner Hartwell. There is a question of whether or not the PID needs to be amended to be reflective of the Duke Forest report. The schedule will 'allow time for addressing these types of concerns. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 4.
