59 <br /> is concern about this project because of the fact that it is <br /> in the Carrboro Joint Planning area but that all the details <br /> have not been worked out on how Joint Planning is going to <br /> be administered and specifically the implications dealing <br /> with annexation. Because of the location of this parcel, <br /> Chair Willhoit suggested that the public hearing be <br /> continued to March 18 to provide an opportunity to address <br /> the issue of annexation. He expanded on the problems <br /> created for fire protection services and the implications of <br /> annexation. <br /> Steve Kizer asked Chair Willhoit to outline what Mr. Lloyd <br /> must do to have the rezoning approved. <br /> Chair Willhoit reiterated that an understanding needs to be <br /> reached with Carrboro and Chapel Hill on how this area will <br /> be handled. <br /> The towns will be contacted and requested to respond prior <br /> to March 18 . He explained that the County is in a process of <br /> working out a Joint Planning arrangement and a new land use <br /> plan. Part of that process will outline how development <br /> requests will be handled in the future including fire police <br /> protection, sewer service, water supplies, etc. This parcel <br /> is in Carrboro' s Joint Planning area, but actually closer to <br /> the present corporate limits of Chapel Hill and it would be <br /> likely that Chapel Hill would be in a position to annex <br /> before Carrboro. <br /> Commissioner Walker questioned the importance of which town <br /> would annex this parcel. <br /> Chair Willhoit noted it is important that proper planning be <br /> done and annexation is part of that process. <br /> Commissioner Marshall emphasized that good planning at this <br /> time will help eliminate problems for the developer and the <br /> people who will live in that area. She emphasized that the <br /> lack of a response from Chapel Hill would not hold up the <br /> public hearing beyond March 18. <br /> Motion was made by Chair Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Marshall to continue the public hearing until March 18, <br /> 1986. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> VERNON P.
