goods or any other metals but they would like to have the option. In response to a question, he stated that no one lives next door to the landfill. Duke University is on the North side and on the west side there are no houses. Across the road about 500 feet down there is a house. He also mentioned that this 4000 sq. ft. facility would be in operation 15 or 20 years at least. Water would be provided by well and sewer by septic system. COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS: Ms. Inna Deng Johnson, a landowner adjacent to this site, requested that the landfill not be expanded. The landowners in this area are not being compensated for loss of property value which results from living near the landfill. She felt that the time was wrong to allow this facility to be built. It would be a better idea to have the question of siting the new landfill answered prior to any additional building on this site. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey., Jr., seconded by Commissioner Brown, to refer the proposed amendment to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than April 1, 1997. VOTE: UNANIMOUS ( PDA-97 Carolina Friends School(Modification) This item was presented by Emily Cameron for the purpose of receiving citizen comment on a proposed modification to the Special Use Permit for Carolina Friends School which would allow the school to swap acreage with Duke University and modify the boundaries of the school site. Carolina Friends school is an existing private school located on the north side of Mt. Sinai Road (SR 1718)and west of Friends School Road (SR 1719). The property contains 33.94 acres and is zoned PD-RB, Planned Development-Rural Buffer. In August of 1990 a Class A Special Use Permit was issued for Carolina Friends School to allow the use of the school's wastewater disposal system in the Rural Buffer. Article 6.20.1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that a package treatment plant with a design capacity over 3000 gallons per day may be allowed in the RB district only through approval of a planned development. Article 6.3.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance also requires a planned development approval where there are multiple principal structures on a non-residential lot greater than two acres in size. The Board of Directors of Carolina Friends School adopted a five-year master plan in 1991 for development of the school. In 1992 the Special Use Permit was modified to include expansion of buildings and parking consistent with the school's master plan. In 1996,6,500 square feet of additional floor area was included in the Special Use Permit for a new library/arts building and expansion of several other existing structures. The changes also involved a Zoning Atlas amendment to rezone the 16.38 acres being added to the school from Rural Buffer to Planned Development-Rural Buffer, and to rezone the acreage going to Duke University from PD-RB to RB.
