Commissioner Hemminger asked how much a well would cost and Michael Harvey said <br /> that he will try and get a number for the next Planning Board meeting and before this comes <br /> back to the Board on November 2ptn <br /> Michael Harvey clarified that any conditions imposed have to be mutually agreed upon <br /> by both parties. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that all County Commissioners have concerns about the water and <br /> she suggested giving direction to the Planning Board on how to deliberate on this. <br /> Michael Harvey said that it would be good to state for the record what the County <br /> Commissioners would like to see regarding documentation from Orange County Environmental <br /> Health, Tom Konsler, and others in order to give the Planning Board an idea. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that he would be willing to listen to a phased approach and <br /> the Board agreed. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said to ask the Planning Board to consider a phased approach <br /> and not necessarily direct it. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that the Board is supportive of this project and they <br /> recognize that Mr. Chandler has limited resources, but since this is an entranceway to Orange <br /> County, there should be standards in rural areas as in other areas. He asked staff to provide <br /> some pictures of other storage units in Orange County that have buffers or clustered buffers <br /> so that they can see what it will look like before making a decision. <br /> Commissioner Gordon supported this. <br /> There was continued discussion about the buffers. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz <br /> to refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned <br /> to the Board of Commissioners in time for the November 20, 2012 BOCC regular <br /> meeting, with specific additional attention on the water issue as well as other issues discussed; <br /> and adjourn the public hearing until November 20, 2012 in order to receive the Planning <br /> Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 7.

Sitinq Criteria for Southern Branch Library— Final Recommendation <br /> The Board considered approving the siting and locational criteria governing the review <br /> and site selection process for the southern branch of the Orange County library. <br /> Library Services Director Lucinda Munger said that this is the updated criteria for the <br /> Southern Branch Library and staff has included modifications based on feedback from the <br /> work session and from the Carrboro Board of Aldermen in March. The staff has incorporated <br /> modifications to the criteria. The first modification is combining the previous Phases 1 and 2 <br /> into the 1 St phase entitled Preliminary Phase, Technical Review, and Assessment. The <br /> physical attributes of a site, including environmental factors, various modules of public <br /> transportation and access, alignment with planning tools, location, costs, and availability will be <br /> taken into account. This phase will be done by internal Orange County staff and is estimated <br /> to take anywhere from four to eight weeks, depending on the number of properties under <br /> review. Many items can be done simultaneously. <br /> Phase 3 in a previous version is now the 2nd phase entitled Primary Phase, Public <br /> Input, and Assessment. The Board will put before the community a top site choice or choices <br /> after the completion of the technical review and analysis. This portion would involve significant <br />
