SUMMARY: Carrboro's University Land Use Planning Advisory Committee (UNC Land Use Committee)first met on November 29, 1994 and has continued to work with UNC and the Town of Chapel Hill to formulate a plan for the future use of outlying properties owned by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The committee has primarily focused on two of UNC's properties located in Carrboro's jurisdiction. These two properties include the 58-acre "Homestead Tract" located north of Homestead Road along Bolin Creek, and the 306-acre "Horace Williams Tract" located west of Seawell School Road, north of the Fair Oaks Subdivision, east of the Cobblestone Subdivision, and south of Homestead Road. The UNC Land Use Committee, to carry out its charge, has met over 30 times(22 Committee Meetings, 1 reconnaissance meeting, and 7 community advisory meetings with UNC & Chapel Hill) and has presented reports before the Board of Aldermen twice. The Board of Aldermen issued the following charge to the UNC Land Use Committee on October 11, 1994: • To define and advocate for the Town of Carrboro's interest and objectives with regard to any plans proposed for the University-Owned lands; • To keep the Mayor and Board of Aldermen informed about the work progress; • to identify points in the process where a public hearing would be appropriate, to bring information to the attention of the community, and provide opportunity for citizen comment; • To prepare recommendations for the Mayor and Board of Aldermen's consideration regarding plans that are prepared.
