11 1 Alderman Gist said she is more concerned about the private sector and corporations 2 impinging on her civil rights than she is about local governments impinging on them. 3 Mayor Chilton said presentations were given at the solid waste working group about the 4 company organized around this concept of scanning the anticipated RFID tags. He said it will 5 be important to be clear with the contracted collection company that this is not allowed. 6 Council Member Storrow echoed Council Member Ward's comments. He said it makes 7 thoughtful sense to set up a scenario where the Town has a stake in the process and outcome. 8 Chair Jacobs said the discussion about the chips has been enlightening, and staff will 9 make sure that the privacy issues are protected. 10 Chair Jacobs said he is hopeful there will be some communication back to the County 11 soon about the letter of intent. 12 Council Member Easthom said she would like to officially ask Mayor Kleinschmidt and 13 Roger Stancil if this item could be added to the agenda for Monday. 14 Mayor Kleinschmidt said it could be added. 15 16 Mayor Stevens said Hillsborough is a party to the affordable housing and the solid waste 17 issue. 18 Town of Hillsborough elected officials left at 8:36pm. 19 20 3. Chapel Hill ETJ Expansion Process (Craig Benedict/JB Culpepper) 21 Chapel Hill Planning Director J.B. Culpepper said one recommendation from the Rogers 22 Road task force was the extension of Chapel Hill's ETJ, in order for Chapel Hill's community 23 development funds to be expended. She said the property is currently located in the joint 24 planning area. 25 She said in September the Chapel Hill Town Council asked the County to initiate the 26 process for this extension, and a public hearing was held in October. She said this item is 27 intended to go back to the town council on January 13, 2014 for possible action. She said if the 28 extension were to occur Orange County would need to take action as well, and Chapel Hill 29 would have 60 days to apply for zoning in this area. 30 JB Culpepper referred to a map and noted the tan area as the area being discussed. 31 Mayor Chilton asked why was this not part of the ETJ 20 years ago. 32 JB Culpepper said that request was what initiated the Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) 33 discussion. 34 Mayor Kleinschmidt said this was a compromise because the Town wanted to and the 35 County did not. 36 Commissioner Gordon asked how the JPA fits into this. 37 J.B. Culpepper said there have been discussions about what might be needed in terms 38 of the JPA, and she does not know if extension in this area would require an adjustment to the 39 agreement. 40 Commissioner Gordon said the JPA states that a joint planning land use map change 41 requires a process. She said this is not a problem, but this needs to be folded into their 42 schedules. 43 Commissioner Dorosin said Chapel Hill currently has control of land use in this area, 44 and he asked if the zoning is Chapel Hill zoning. 45 J.B. Culpepper said the zoning is through the JPA, and both entities have to act to 46 change zoning. 47 Commissioner Dorosin said he wanted to clarify that zoning is in place in this area and is 48 consistent with Chapel Hill zoning. He asked if it is correct that someone in this area who was 49 building an addition on their house would have to get permits and inspection through Chapel 50 Hill. He said this would be the same in the ETJ.
