Attachment 2 Excerpt of Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan ~~ Jay Bryan: Certainly. Is this part of the plan or just attached to the plan? Perdita Holtz: One of the recommendations is to revise the zoning ordinance and take into account this construct. Jay Bryan: We could approve the plan without approving the proposed uses. Michelle Kempinski: On page 54 on the revised draft discussed non-conforming uses. Will there be any uses in this plan that will be made non-conforming? Perdita Holtz: No. ~ Because the existing commercial and industrial uses are already conforming as are the residential uses that were developed under the secondary EDD classification. Michelle Kempinski: A strong suggestion would be that under D 2, "Mixed Use Area" that we further define what that means in terms of proportions of uses. Perdita Holtz: The Task Force recommends that a percentage limit for residential uses in the Mixed Use Area be defined when implementation measures are brought forward. It is not the intent that every parcel will have a mix of uses; the mix of uses is intended to occur throughout the entire district. Craig Benedict: Clarified that this was the intent of the Task Force. Judith Wegner: Is there a different term that can be used for mixed use. Renee Price: That is the terminology used in the planning profession. Jay Bryan: I recently received information from a county resident, Beverly Scarlett, who owns land adjoining the Eno EDD and whose parents own land within the District. She shared that she lives on property that has been in her family since 1878. Her great-grandfather was deeded the property in exchange for his involuntary servitude. Prior to that, the property was owned by extended family formed prior to the Civil War. Her great-great-grandmother, Bunsheba Scarlett, and her son, Levi Christmas Scarlett, served as slaves on this property. Immediately behind her house is the Fish Dam Road. Her information is that Fish Dam Road is significant because it' was one of the county's first roads, and that it served as an old Indian Trading Path prior .to becoming the only route between Hillsborough and Raleigh. Most important is the fact that Civil War soldiers traveled the Fish Dam Road to get to the Bennett Place. Fortunately, her home site has been excluded from the EDD due to the historical implications. But she is concerned about what will happen on her father's property where he lives. He lives just across Hwy 70 and uphill from her. She worries about the impact of heavy equipment use over time and industrial use that may lead to pollution or waste that will contaminate the Eno River.
