that the current zoning would allow about 35 units to go there. There could be some amendments to a portion of the tract to allow for more units. Commissioner Nelson asked if there would have to be a pump station if a school were on the site. Craig Benedict said that there would have to be more engineering analysis, but it depends on where the school is sited. Transportation and Access: Craig Benedict showed a Rogers Road study area map and possible network connections done by the Chapel Hill Planning Department. He said that Purefoy Road is the only access point into the Greene Tract, and it is underdeveloped, meaning that it is only 18 feet wide. The Rogers Road Task Force has concerns about the amount of traffic. A railroad crossing in this area would be problematic. The task force received a presentation by a church group that wants to build a large facility such as a community center. There is a possibility of a roadway that would connect along the north side of the Habitat project and connect to Rogers Road. If there is a school site, there will have to be two access points. Another option would be to upgrade Purefoy Road. Chair Jacobs said that when the County representatives met with the Mayors, they agreed not to present this to the Assembly of Governments because it is too complicated and that they were not interested in roads that traverse the Greene Tract, mostly for environmental reasons. Affordable Housing Tract Development Alternatives: Craig Benedict said that the Greene Tract Work Group Concept Plan did not mention what type of units, how many units, or the density, so there are still opportunities for the affordable housing groups to discuss with the local governments about the needed affordable housing units. There was mention by the Rogers Road Task Force that the whole area could become a big Habitat for Humanity project. Commissioner Nelson said that years ago, members of the school board were approached about a school site here, and he remembers one member who turned up her nose about the idea of putting a school this close to the landfill. He said that he thought all along that there should be a school in the Greene Tract. He is glad that it is being discussed. His concern has to do with the affordable housing tract. The original proposal was to take about a third of the 104 acres and set it aside for affordable housing. The committee chopped it down to 20 acres, and then it got chopped again to 18 acres. He was upset at the time that there was such a big opportunity and it got chopped down to 18 acres. He would have a really hard time chopping it down any further because of the history and he would like to explore the option of expanding the affordable housing, because there is an affordable housing deficiency in the County. Chair Jacobs asked what Commissioner Nelson envisioned —a variety of housing types or just detached housing. Commissioner Nelson said that there was a decision made not to articulate a vision at that time because the building of affordable housing was so far into the future. Commissioner Carey said that he remembers two schools of thought— 100 or more units of multi-family housing or a combination of different housing types. Commissioner Gordon agreed with sticking by the commitment to use the 18 acres for affordable housing. Also, as this goes forward to the AOG, she would urge the Board to separate the conversation and not talk about the 60 acres at this time. Commissioner Carey agreed. He does not want to diminish the capacity of affordable housing on these 18 acres. Chair Jacobs suggested asking staff to do an environmental assessment on how far down it would be reasonable to go south of the 18 acres.
