would be focused to this area instead of traveling through the center of Hillsborough, which would make this area the appropriate place far development. Public Comment Scott Radway asked about the proposed EDD development chart that has the designations which are O-OF (office and office flex), O-MDR (office and medium density residential), and the last one for mixed use. He asked if what is intended is for the County Commissioners to adopt as an ordinance the categories with uses when this comes back to the County Commissioners for approval. He asked where this fits within the continuing work of the EDD task force between now and when the moratorium ends. Craig Benedict said that these are categories that are not assigned to any of the properties at this time. The focus of the work on A-1 and A-2 will be in this area. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Carey to accept the staff and public input into the public hearing record, and to refer item C1 b to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of County Commissioners no sooner than January 18, 2001. VOTE: UNANIMOUS c. approximately 77 acres. These parcels can continue their present activity pursuant to existina zonina codes if presently developed. If the site is undeveloped or previously Hated site is to be redeveloped, then the parcel would be developed consistent with Limited Office district or request rezoning through a special use rezoning and permit process. These parcels would also be removed from the moratoria. Barry Katz made reference to South Paint Mall in Durham and the exit ramps an I-40 and asked if there are any plans for I-40 or NC 85 to sustain a reasonable flow of traffic to this development and what plan they would need to augment this future development. Craig Benedict said that it was agreed at the Commissioners' retreat that the EDD task force would evolve into a task force with a transportation emphasis at the end of the land use issues. The task force would focus on the issues raised above by Barry Katz. The task force will take a look at over 40 intersections and come up with a priority package by late summer 2001 and submit it to the MPO by fall 2001. Public Comment Lawson Brown, attorney from Alamance County, spoke representing Chandler Concrete Company, which is located in area 3A. The Chandler Concrete site is a 5.$-acre tract of land located between SR1710 and the railroad tracks. The easternmost two acres of this site are not developed. Chandler Concrete Company has been in operation since 1973. He feels it is important to note how this site is situated on Highway 10. The building was expanded to a two- story building just a year ago. He asked that this site not be included in the EDD. If Mr. Chandler's property is included in this designation it will become a nonconforming use. He does not think that Chandler Concrete is appropriately included in the EDD because of its unique location, history, and unique size in relation to the railroad and SR1710. Hazel Lunsford said that her house is included in this proposed area. She said that changing residential zoning to limited office or anything else would mean that she could not rebuild her property in the event of a disaster because it would be nonconforming. Her property has been a life investment. This will change the amount of property taxes that she will have to pay. If the property remains residential, she said that she would also lose because no one would want to buy in a limited and restricted residential area. She asked for protection of her property and rights. She suggested a written agreement with the residents that are affected by this proposal. John Parker is one of the residents that is supposedly within the 500-foot area bordering the rezoning. After an answer from Craig Benedict to his questions about area 3A, it was
