internal transaction, as long as the County has the asset, it is not quite so important as to which pocket the money is <br />coming from. <br />Chair Carey said that the 60 acres would be a solid waste asset and if it were used for another purpose <br />the appropriate transfer would have to be made to the landfill fund. <br />Commissioner Jacobs feels the County needs to leave some ability to do something other than protect the <br />60 acres for future Commissioners. He said that if the 60 acres were going to be put in open space permanently, <br />Orange County would need to do it with the understanding that they would pay the solid waste operation far the land. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis feels that the County has already lost the passibility of interconnecting three tracts <br />of land and looking at the possibility of establishing omega-park. He made reference to a letter that was in the Chapel <br />Hill Herald today that suggested that the County sell the Greene Tract and put the money in the landfill fund. He thinks <br />there is an opportunity to make a statement for the future and keep the best piece of land as an asset and then figure <br />out what is in the best interest of the citizens. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she prefers alternative #1. She said that her vision for the Greene Tract <br />is that it would remain undisturbed. She proposed that the County pursue obtaining contiguous property. She wants <br />the County to be interested in delineating the natural areas. She indicated on the map the location of the natural <br />areas. She said that theoretically the land is an asset of the landfill. She asked about the Duke Power restrictions on <br />the easement. She also asked how much land the County would need to have access to the railroad. She said that <br />her vision for the Greene Tract is that it would be mainly open space. She would like the staff to research what the <br />restrictive covenants are for the residences, what the Greene Tract buffers mean, and what would the other <br />jurisdictions do with the property adjacent to the railroad tracks. <br />Chair Carey feels that alternative one does provide same potential for the area for both development and <br />protection. He feels that because the 60 acres is an asset of the system that some opportunities should be preserved <br />far it to be used for developable purposes. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked how much is designated along the railroad and David Stancil said between <br />500-600 feet. She asked what it could be used for and John Link said that he would think that any structure would be <br />accommodated. She suggested having an alternative access in the northern part of the tract where the Duke Power <br />easement would not have to be crossed. <br />Geoffrey Gledhill said that someone could be employed to determine the needs of access to the railroad. <br />He said that since there are so many unknowns associated with the railroad, the County should focus on physically <br />making a connection to the railroad right-of-way. <br />Chair Carey said that the County could exclude aright-of-way from the 60 acres and negotiate with the <br />towns for using it far that purpose as a part of the 109 acres without having to assume responsibility far it as an asset. <br />Chair Carey supports alternative #1 because it provides maximum flexibility for the use of this property. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked about the buffers from the Neville Tract. <br />Gayle Wilson said that in changing the Neville Tract to allow excavation of soil, the Town required a buffer. <br />The landfill required a certain amount of soil to come off the property, and it was determined that since most of the <br />property would have to be used for soil excavation, that the buffer was placed on the adjacent property, which was the <br />Greene Tract. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to adapt alternative #1 <br />and send on to Chapel Hill the following: 1) the wildlife corridor map, showing and highlighting the various natural <br />areas with an explanation; 2) the goldenrod sheet showing the drainage pattern and what it means in terms of a <br />natural area being the headwaters of the creeks; and 3) a statement of support of Chapel Hill's resolution to maintain <br />the Greene Tract in a natural state to the greatest extent possible, since there has been a mention of affordable <br />housing. The County's intent is to preserve the property in its natural state and build on the support of the Chapel Hill <br />resolution. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />Chair Carey will circulate the letter to the other Commissioners before it is sent to Chapel Hill. <br />With regard to the resolution added to the agenda, Geoffrey Gledhill said that the application for rezoning <br />is still out there and pending and it will be processed if there is no formal action to withdraw the application for the <br />rezoning. By this resolution, Orange County as an owner of the property will withdraw their support for rezoning the <br />Greene Tract. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to withdraw Orange <br />County's support of the rezoning request of the Greene Tract. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />c. Adoption of County Capital Project Ordinances <br />The Board was to consider adoption of capital project ordinances for projects included in the 1999-2009 <br />Capital Investment Plan. This item was postponed to the March 23, 2000 work session. <br />
