Chair Jacobs asked Geof Gledhill if Hillsborough were to annex Churtan Grave if it would take over the special use permit. Geof Gledhill said that he did not knave. He thinks the special use permit survives the annexation. He knows that presently the special use permit contains the phasing plan. In order for that to be changed, the owners and developers of the property would have to make an application to the County for an amendment to the special use permit. They know that because they asked the same question about a year and a half ago. He suspects that is why this has not happened because they also know that once they make the application to change the special use permit, it opens the door to other possible changes to the special use permit. Chair Jacobs asked because he has spoken to the developer and citizens have called him. He said that the developer would rather complain than to apply and change the special use permit. The phasing was to space out the impact (traffic, schools, etc.). Geof Gledhill said that he would be glad to talk with Bob Hornick and give both boards the answer to the annexation question. Commissioner Halkiotis said to ask staff to present at one of the next meetings some information on the resolution of various controversies going on in Churton Grove from the perspective of homeowners. He said that the developers were supposedly not living up to their promises. 3. Status ReportlUpdate on Waterstone Development (Hillsborough & Orange County) Margaret Hauth said that an March 8th the Town took four actions to bring the Waterstone development into the Town of Hillsborough. They adopted a water and sewer extension agreement, annexed the property, zoned it to Entranceway Special Use, and then adopted a master plan. The developer still does not have the authority to build there, but the master plan carries some conditions in terms of maximum intensities, types of land uses, phasing, and capital contributions. There are 22 special use permits. Margaret Hauth said that a map of the project is available on their website. Chair Jacobs asked about public water and sewer on page 3 and if there is a timeframe. Margaret Hauth said that they must start within 24 months. Eric Peterson said that water capacity is reserved up to 350,000 gallons for ten years. Mayor Phelps said that they intended to use water within two years. In answer to a question about the meaning of "start", Town Engineer Kenny Keel said that start means to break ground and put pipe in the ground. Margaret Hauth said that this issue is covered in the water and sewer extension agreement. Chair Jacobs said that the master plan shows a road connecting Old 86 and new 86. He verified with Margaret Hauth that this would not happen in the first phase. Chair Jacobs asked about the timing of the first phase. Margaret Hauth said that there are no completion dates, only start dates. The first phase is the east/west connector road, but only as far as it intersects the loop road.
