17 <br />Approved 5/7/14 <br />Perdita Holtz: Water quality issues were also part of it with the University Lake being the sole source of water then. <br />The town has a vested interest in the water quality and wanted to have a say is what is happening. <br />Tony Blake: Is Obey Creek still in the county in the southern triangle area? <br />Craig Benedict: No, that is part of the town. <br />Tony Blake: The state seems to be amenable to developers requesting annexation more than the towns so I <br />wondered what happens when a developer goes in there. <br />Paul Guthrie: Actually that property is more difficult to articulate because the Town of Chapel Hill is at the end of the <br />park at Southern Village but I am not sure how far Chapel Hill jurisdiction goes into the woods on the other side <br />where Obey Creek is. Chapel Hill annexed the right of way on Mount Carmel further but a lot of that land between <br />Obie and Mount Carmel is not in Chapel Hill. <br />Andrea Rohrbacher: Chapel Hill is going through a restructuring of their boards and commissioners and the current <br />Planning Board allows two ETJ members and there is a proposal to make that one ETJ member because the amount <br />of ETJ is not significant. <br />******* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** <br />AGENDA ITEM 12: JOINT PLANNING LAND USE PLAN AND AGREEMENT AMENDMENT: To receive Information on a <br />proposed amendment to the Joint Planning Land Use Plan and Agreement in regards to <br />allowing appropriate agricultural support enterprises in the Rural Buffer land use classification. <br />The item is scheduled for public hearing at the March 27, 2014 Joint Planning Public Hearing <br />and it is expected that the Planning Board will be asked to make a recommendation on the <br />proposed amendment at its May 7, 2014 meeting. <br />Presenter: Perdita Holtz, Special Projects Coordinator <br />Perdita Holtz: Reviewed information. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: There is a constraint that these JPA documents have to be cleaned up before the UDO <br />amendments can be adopted <br />Perdita Holtz: Yes. If the JPA amendment is not done to allow agricultural support uses in the rural buffer, the <br />BOCC cannot adopt the LIDO amendment. <br />Tony Blake: On page 215, that sentence that was merged, "which will remain rural, contain low density, residential <br />uses, agricultural uses and agricultural support uses and not require the urban services ", seems that it should read, <br />"low density residential, agricultural and agricultural support uses and not require urban services ". <br />Perdita Holtz: We are trying to make minimal changes. <br />***** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** <br />2 <br />
