67 1 The schools here — New Hope Elementary, Stanback, and Cedar Ridge are our only 2 schools for this area. They are already crowded, so new ones will have to be built. 3 When I found out about the rezoning that Mrs. Bane wants approved, I became so 4 stressed with worry. We moved here 15 years to take advantage of the wonderful schools. The 5 traffic back then wasn't as bad. 6 I know Mrs. Bane has a lot of land and it would benefit her financially. She would break 7 her land into smaller pieces and sell. It would not benefit any of us. Thank you for reading my 8 letter since I had to work. Please consider the feelings and safety of the families that live in this 9 little neighborhood, unless Mrs. Bane is willing to pay for the new roads, tresses, and schools." 10 11 Commissioner Jacobs asked Craig Benedict to go back to slide 4 (a map of Eno EDD 12 Area Small Area Plan —Area Perspective). He said that it looks like continuous development 13 from Hillsborough to the Durham County line. 14 Craig Benedict said that this was a map that came out of the Eno Small Area Plan. 15 There has been a modification since then with the Strategic Growth Plan with Hillsborough. The 16 boundary has been contracted and the larger green area is a long-term interest area. 17 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 23 and different intensities based on 18 EDE-1 and EDE-2. He asked about the asterisks next to "services." 19 Craig Benedict said that"services" means it is not commercial or retail. For example, 20 banks are in the services category. 21 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the Eno EDD that was adopted after the small 22 area planning effort and asked how far west the EDD went. 23 Craig Benedict said that it was suggested to go out to the Stoney Creek Basin. It was 24 suggested by the small area plan that the area south of Old NC 10 switch to a soft economic 25 development zoning category. 26 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 5 and said that he would like to see links 27 to the Eno EDD Small Area Plan, the Stoney Creek Basin study, and the City of Durham's 28 Urban Growth Plan that goes into Orange County. 29 Commissioner Jacobs said that he would also like to see the meeting notes from 30 February 25th. Craig Benedict said that he would provide those. 31 Commissioner Jacobs asked about the comments from citizens about the railroad 32 crossings and the non-conforming uses. He asked that these questions be answered in writing 33 when it is discussed by the Planning Board and the County Commissioners. 34 Craig Benedict said that he took notes during the public comment and he will provide the 35 answers during the Planning Board meeting. 36 Commissioner Jacobs said that he has worked on the NC 57 Small Area Plan, the 37 Hillsborough EDD, the Buckhorn EDD, and to some extent on the Eno EDD. He said that in 38 none of those cases did the County go in defiance of the people who lived in the area. He just 39 wanted to report this to the Board. 40 Commissioner McKee asked about road construction on Old NC 10 and Mt. Herman 41 Church Road. He said that he understood that this was a sight line improvement and a safety 42 issue. He does not think it has anything to do with potential development. He asked about 43 residential development in EDE-2.
