The question is where the exact alignment will be. He said that the <br /> 45 Town of Carrboro is going to have to apply for the permit and it cannot apply for the permit <br /> 46 unless it knows where the creek crossing is going to be. This cannot be determined unless the <br /> 47 staff is directed to come back with a process that would identify where the crossing will be. <br /> 48 Alderman Slade made a motion to direct staff to work on starting the process. <br /> 49 Mike Brough said that the staff needs to come back to the board with a proposed <br /> 50 process, which the board can then endorse. <br />
