CITIZEN & AUDIENCE COMMENTS <br />a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda <br />Matthew Barton lives in Carrbaro and said that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School district <br />discovered about a year ago that the 8Q-acre site that the Town of Chapel Hill had identified as a <br />potential high school building site across the street from Southern Village was unusable due to streams <br />and rock. Two other replacement sites have been identified -Rock Haven Road and Eubanks Road. <br />To fix the immediate need for a high school site, he suggested that the Board direct County Planning and <br />Environmental staff to perform a review of the impact of siting the next high school at Eubanks Raad <br />versus Rock Haven Road, working with the Planning staff of the school district and the two towns. The <br />due date should be in April, which is when the school district needs a decision, according to newspaper <br />
