May is the earliest timeframe for <br />consideration by Hillsborough's Town Board. <br />Commissioner Crowther mentioned that the qualifications for the <br />newest EDD district are equal to, or more stringent than, the new overlay <br />district that Hillsborough has adopted. He asked if Hillsborough has <br />implemented that overlay district. <br />Commissioner Smith indicated that the board would review the area <br />from the EDD nodes at Old Hwy 86 and the I-40/Hwy 86 into Hillsborough. <br />The Town is very interested in preserving the entryways into Town. <br />Commissioner Lloyd mentioned that there had been discussion about <br />including the'property on which the Massage Parlor is located in the EDD <br />node at I-40/Hwy. 86. She also mentioned the possibility of extending the <br />node into the Cornerstone Park community. <br />Commissioner Willhoit mentioned that one of the justifications for <br />requesting rezoning in the neighborhood at the Old Hwy 86 node was because <br />of the plans for the property across the road. Also, if the road is <br />widened it will impact on the setbacks, etc. He asked about the prospects <br />for development along the road and if there is a need for the County to <br />rezone from residential to business or will it be developed in such a <br />manner that it will not have additional impacts on those residents. He <br />indicated that his concern was rezoning the area from Oakdale Drive to I- <br />40.
