Water will be turned off at 9 a.m., <br />and service will return no later than 3 p.m. <br />The Town of Hillsborough has notified local emergency <br />personnel and will have staff on site to ensure the <br />construction is performed properly. <br />Temporary cloudiness or discoloration of water may <br />occur. Small particles of iron and manganese that have <br />settled in the water main may be disturbed, causing <br />discoloration. The discoloration does not make water <br />unsafe to drink, but it could discolor fabric. Similarly, <br />when air bubbles enter the water system, they may <br />cause'doudiness in drinking water. <br />If discoloration or air bubbles appear in the water, <br />customers should run cold water in . a bathtub for a few <br />minutes until the water dears. If the water does not <br />dear within five minutes, customers should contact <br />the Town of Hillsborough at 732-2104 during normal <br />business hours or at 732-3621 for emergencies after <br />hours and during weekends. <br />For more information, contact: <br />Kenny Keel, town engineer/Utilities director, <br />732-1270 Ext. 75 or kepnX.keel@hi1lsb6roughniff- <br />Russell Lloyd, utility inspector, 732-9459 or <br />tohinspectorgearthlink. — <br />NOTICE OF JOINT PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Chapel Hill Town Council <br />A public hearing will be held in the Southern Human Services <br />Center, 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel.

A proposal to construct 72 <br />residential units contained in 36 buildings on the subject <br />properties is compatible with the existing R-2 zoning <br />of up to four units per acre. However, floor area ratio <br />(FAR) limitations prompted the request .for R-4-C zoning. <br />Conditional use rezoning also is a more specific category <br />and process; which can limit the maximum density of the <br />R-4-C zoning. The permitted density will not be affected <br />by the zoning change, but the permitted FAR will increase <br />making possible a mix of unit sizes that enhances affordable <br />housing opportunities in the Chapel Hill Transition Area. <br />Action Zoning Atlas Amendment <br />From: Chapel Hill Residential-2 (R-2) <br />To: Chapel Hill Residential-4 Conditional (R-4-C) <br />Size: 21.5 acres <br />Location: Southwest corner of Homestead Road and <br />Seawell School Road <br />Identification: Chapel Hill Township, PIN Vs 9870-71-3194, <br />9870-61-8194, 9870-61-8593 (part), and <br />9870-70-1770 (part) <br />The zoning atlas amendment requires the approval of the <br />Orange County Commissioners and Chapel Hill Town <br />Council. <br />Questions regarding the proposal should be directed to the <br />Chapel Hill Planning Department at 968-2728.
