Cameron St. <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />RE: Proposed Sites for Southwestern Branch of the Orange County Library <br />Mr ion, f.14. k <br />10 <br />On November 20, 2012 the Carrboro Board of Aldermen discussed potential sites for the southwestern <br />branch of the Orange County Library. These sites were discussed within the County's and Town's <br />respective siting criteria. The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the submittal of three potential <br />sites for consideration by the Orange County Board of Commissioners: <br />❖ 301 W. Main St. (Town Hal <br />•,. 401 Fidelity St. (adjacent to Westwood Cemetery) <br />❖ 1228 Hillsborough Rd. (adjacent to MLK Park) <br />The Carrboro Board would also like to continue discussions with the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners regarding the County's siting criteria. The purpose of this discussion would be to <br />reevaluate the criteria in order for consideration of additional sites in planned and approved mixed -use <br />projects in downtown Carrboro. Some examples of downtown projects might include locations such as <br />300 E. Main Street and 203 South Greensboro Street, among a few others. <br />The Town would also like to discuss Orange County's thoughts about the siting and land acquisition <br />process including the possible issuance of a Request for Proposals or Call for Properties. This could <br />generate additional public input and assure a thorough evaluation of all options. <br />Thank you for your consideration and assistance. This is an exciting opportunity for everyone. The <br />Town is ready to move another step forward in this collaborative process. <br />Sincerely, <br />0 <br />David Andrews,lCMA -CM <br />Town Manager, Carrboro <br />CC: <br />Mayor and Board of Aldermen <br />Trish McGuire, Carrboro Planning Director <br />Lucinda Munger, Orange County Library Director <br />301 WEST MAIN STREET, CARRBORO, NC 27510 • (919) 942 -8541 • FAX (919) 968-7745 • Vol CE/TTY/TDD /ASCII ;71 1 <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER <br />
