Town of <br /> 4 <br /> TOWN OF CHAPEL FULL <br /> 306 NORTH COLUIMIA STREET <br /> CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27516 <br /> telephone(919)968-2743 <br /> fax:967-8406 <br /> February 24, 1997 <br /> Mr. John Link,County Manager <br /> County of Orange <br /> PO Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Link: <br /> Re: Southern Village Elementary School <br /> I write to follow up on your question on February 19th regarding the potential regulatory process for <br /> considering a gymnasium as part of the Southern Village elementary school. <br /> The current special use permit application proposes a multi-purpose room.It was suggested at the <br /> Council's public hearing last week that a full-size gymnasium be built instead of a multi-purpose room. <br /> If the special use permit application were approved as proposed, construction of a full-size gym would <br /> not be approved, if a subsequent decision were made to pursue a gym,the special use permit would <br /> probably need to be modified. <br /> In our follow-up report to the Town Council on March Y° we will discuss the option of building in <br /> flexibility regarding the gymnasium. One way to do that would be for the Council to approve the <br /> special use permit with a condition like the following. <br /> "That a full-size gymnasium may be substituted for the multi-purpose room,in the approximate <br /> location of the multi-purpose room,upon approval of final plans by the Town Manager." <br /> I believe it would be useful for the designers to advise on whether a gym would fit on the site within its <br /> physical limits and within the floor area limits. <br /> Thank you for calling me last week regarding this matter. <br /> Sinc ly, <br /> 7 <br /> W. Calvin Horton <br /> Town Manager <br />
