Craig Benedict said that the location of the park is internal to the project. He asked if the County Commissioners are suggesting that the park be located in a different location that would be available to other citizens. Commissioner Brown said yes, put the park where other citizens can use it. Craig Benedict said that if a park is going to be used to its highest potential, with lights, it should not be in the middle of residential property. Commissioner Brown said that this project should have a sufficiently large recycling center. She commented on the amount of square footage in the commercial area. It is surprising that there is 400,000 square feet of retail, non-office space. University Mall is only 220,000 square feet. The 400,000 square feet is two normal size malls. Craig Benedict said that the plan for Corbin Downs includes two 200,000 square foot retail centers. One is a superstore center that is more regional and the other would be more for the local area. Commissioner Brown asked about transportation. She thinks that a project of this size will require a bus or transportation system. She asked where the resources would come from to provide this. She would also like to see the developer build the school that is needed for the project. Commissioner Jacobs said that the life of downtown is an issue. He said that transit stops in the development are being provided in the plan. The developer was asked to contact the Orange County Housing Corporation because the Town has asked that affordable housing be put into the development as well as transportation to the site. Regarding the recreation, Commissioner Jacobs asked if there was a standard per resident, and said there should be an industry standard. The Hillsborough Planning Board is meeting the night this is coming back to the County Commissioners. He asked if it was okay to have the letter forwarded in draft form to the County Commissioners so that they could see what the staff is presenting to the Town Board. He asked Craig Benedict to tell what he found out when talking to Cary's Planning Department. Craig Benedict said that two issues were discussed. The first issue was about large communities that were mixed-use developments. There are three major projects in Cary where the non-residential languished to the point where 20 years later the commercial portion was never done. In some of the other communities there have been amendments in the last ten years to provide for more residential areas. The town has tried to preserve that non-residential space because that is what makes the project work from a fiscal standpoint. Schools was the other issue that was discussed. The idea about the developer providing the school is, if the size of the developments are to the point where three developments at 1,000 units each would actually fill an elementary or a middle school, then they are willing to build the school. Commissioner Halkiotis said that if the County does not ask the developer to fund the entire cost of the school that the citizens should be told how much their taxes will go up and for how long as a result of this project. He questioned the amount of retail space and thinks that there would not be enough people to frequent there. Chair Gordon said the developer appears willing to cooperate. She suggested that Hillsborough ask the developer about some of these issues. She said the Board would forward something to the Town of Hillsborough after their October 5t" meeting. Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to the next meeting and asked how deep into the Adequate Public Facilities they were going to go. Chair Gordon said as deep as possible. Geoff Gledhill said that interestingly, Cary has moved ahead on their Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, but Wake County has not. He said that Hillsborough,
