652 100 feet from the arterial, 75 feet for the next 100 feet and 50 feet for the next 100 feet. Beyond that, the setback should be 30 feet. He feels old 86 should be four lanes with a median. The setback should include sufficient right-of-way to allow for the widening of the road. He feels that the Board needs to know the full implications of a permitted use and what it may permit. He feels that the Buckhorn node is more industrial and manufacturing orientated. The Old 86 node should be more office and service oriented and the Eno Node is already characterized. Chair Carey noted that he agrees that the Board needs to move ahead with all three nodes. The Old 86 node is critical because of the possibility of annexation from the Town of Hillsborough. Commissioner Gordon asked for a cost benefit analysis for each node. She feels that it is important to work through the information that Mr. Collins has provided and think about that in relation to the residential base and come up with a rational formula. She noted that the Permitted Uses keep changing. The Design standards are piecemeal at this point. She wants time to study this information and also allow time for the citizens to comment on the new information on Permitted Uses and the Design Standards. With regard to the Permitted Uses, she did not realize they were being eliminated altogether. She thought that people would be allowed to go through the slower public hearing process for the uses not listed. She asked where the eliminated uses would be allowed. She feels they can come up with something that will satisfy everyone. However, until she can get the cost benefit analysis, she would like to approve one node as a pilot project to see what happens. r Chair Carey stated that at the time they have the work session they will decide if they should delay approval on,all three nodes. Commissioner Halkiotis shared Commissioner Willhoit's vision of the Buckhorn node. The node at Old 86 and I-40 worries him. Whatever the County can do at the Eno Node will enhance that area. Chair Carey confirmed that the Board will hold a work session in early January, have the public hearing at the second meeting in January and vote at that time or at the first meeting in February. Marvin Collins clarified that the permitted uses eliminated for a specific EDD would be allowed in other commercial and industrial areas in the County through a rezoning. With regard to the economic analysis, certain assumptions will have to be made. In answer to a question from Chair Carey, Marvin Collins said that it is difficult to do an economic analysis on a goal that is not economic based. Chair Carey said he does not want to make this cost benefit analysis a condition for moving ahead. Commissioner Gordon made reference to the strategic plan and said that in terms of targeting and locating businesses that they need this cost benefit analysis. Commissioner Insko suggested for the January 10, 1994 work session that they review the original goals in the strategic plan and at that time make a decision on whether or not to request a cost benefit analysis. They can also review the design standards and the permitted use table as suggested by Commissioner Willhoit. Public comment will not be heard at this work session but they will accept written comments. D. REVISED CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE
