18 <br /> she had asked Hillsborough that question. The <br /> answer was that those properties do not have <br /> utilities and the Town of Hillsborough is <br /> unwilling to expend the funds to provide <br /> utilities. Brown continued that she was opposed <br /> to the rezoning of these properties to EDD and <br /> she felt that Cornwallis Hills had not been <br /> considered. She was not in favor of anything that <br /> would not further buffer Cornwallis Hills. She <br /> felt that the County could generate a plan to <br /> maintain the area as residential and prevent a <br /> "commercial strip nightmare" . <br /> Walters reminded the Board that all of the area <br /> cannot be mandated as green space or be declared <br /> unbuildable without compensation. The law <br /> carries that provision. The Board must be very <br /> careful in such instances. <br /> Jobsis stated that her understanding of the <br /> design standards indicate that the development <br /> will be quality development, not haphazard and it <br /> does not make sense to have a 100-foot buffer <br /> between two primary development areas. <br /> Price indicated she had not received a complete <br /> answer to a previous question. She asked if any <br /> schematics, isometric or straight on, had been <br /> done of what NC 86 would look like from the <br /> street to Cornwallis Hills when it is developed. <br /> Willis responded that there is a cross section in <br /> the design manual to address that.

Willis responded that such <br /> drawings have not been done. She continued that <br /> what has been done with the design manual is to <br /> set up the basic design standards that are to be <br /> met when each development comes in. The <br /> considerations that will be taken into account <br /> include how the development fits in with the <br /> surrounding area. Those are design issues that <br /> come into play carrying out the design manual for <br /> each individual use. Waddell noted that it would <br /> be somewhat speculative, very difficult for Staff <br /> to provide such drawings until some specific <br /> plans are presented to them. <br /> Price indicated she understood; however, when <br />
