For example, the lowest parking lot to the east could be an athletic facility. It would be more <br />accessible. He suggested taking the 3`d, 4t", and 5t" bullet of the recommendation and ask the <br />staff to offer same different designs for the public input sessions. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon to send the master plan for the site asking the <br />CHCCS to formally comment, and send the draft smart growth principles to both school systems <br />and adopt the 3rd 4t" and 5t" bullets as follows: <br />set an open houselpublic input session (to be held in late-August orearly- <br />September); and <br />authorize staff to prepare and evaluation of the eventual water and sewer use by the <br />different portions of the site; and <br />consider the timetable of activities and potential phasing of the park, authorizing staff <br />to prepare revisions to the Master Plan and the CUP application for further review <br />and eventual submittal to Carrboro for Phase I. <br />Motion failed for lack of a second. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that there needs to be a continued discussion about what is going <br />on. He pointed out that the 100 parking spaces at the top are connected right to the gym. It is <br />designed far parking for a community gym. <br />Commissioner Brown said that the group really did not discuss the transportation piece very <br />much, and this needs to be considered. <br />A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Brown to: <br />- consider setting an open houselpublic input session (to be held in late-August or <br />early-September); and <br />- authorize staff to prepare an evaluation of the eventual water and sewer use by the <br />different portions of the site; and <br />- ask the schools for a written timetable for proposed construction of an elementary <br />school and what infrastructure issues they have; and <br />- engage Chapel Hill Transit in some preliminary discussions of how to get service to <br />this site; and <br />- develop same scenarios in time for the public session for alternatives that attempt to <br />address some of the shared use and smart growth concerns expressed by the <br />Board; and <br />- submit to the school boards the smart growth principles for comment. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked if this included the last bullet. Chair Jacobs agreed to include this, <br />which is: Consider the timetable of activities and potential phasing of the park, authorizing staff <br />to prepare revisions to the Master Plan and the CUP application for further review and eventual <br />submittal to Carrboro for Phase I. Commissioner Gordon clarified that the Master Plan prepared <br />by the Work Group would be included as one of the scenarios presented. <br />Chair Jacobs said that when this goes to the public, it should be indicated that this is a vision <br />that has not been endorsed or proposed by the Board of County Commissioners regarding the <br />community center. The Board has strong hesitations about it. <br />The Board agreed to take off the community center. The documentation could be presented so <br />that it tracks what the Work Group proposed. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
