Attachment 2 <br />Excerpt of Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan <br />Michelle Kempinski: It is not necessarily the law but the intention we are trying to <br />establish. Also, you mentioned a community meeting a week before the public <br />hearing, were there comments? <br />Perdita Holtz: There was one written comment. Basically, it was individuals <br />coming in to talk with staff one on one. The comments were basically about <br />annexation. There was definitely a mixed bag of individuals. Some were excited <br />about the possibility of getting water and sewer services. One person left a <br />comment which read, "I would like to emphasize planning for bike and pedestrian <br />traffic for any new development plans. Also to be sure to protect existing Eno <br />and Duke park lands." <br />Michelle Kempinski: The revised draft we received in our package was different <br />than the Public Hearing version. . <br />Perdita Holtz: The reason it is smaller is I did not include the documentation in <br />Appendix B. Any text referring to the reserve area was removed. <br />Michelle Kempinski: I would like to review the actual document we are making <br />recommendations on. <br />Larry Wright: This seems to be very community driven. I would like to see that <br />persistent in the Economic aspect. I would like the people to have a voice and a <br />say in what is going on. There is an example of that on page 61, Pharmaceutical <br />and Medicine Manufacturing of this. <br />Renee Price: I am unconvinced about the amount of community input. <br />Perdita Holtz: There was a task force that worked on this since late 2005 with a <br />lot of meetings that were well attended. Planning was asked in January to step <br />in and finish the work due to staff turnover in the Economic Development <br />department. <br />Craig Benedict: I did attend the Task Force meetings; they were some of the <br />most highly attended community meetings. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: I would like to know where this table came from. Do we want <br />to go back to having a paper mill? <br />Perdita Holtz: The planning department has concerns about the list as well. It <br />was put together by former staff and we don't know the origins of the list. <br />Durham staff has said it's not from their ordinances. Because the Task Force <br />spent several months going over this list, we thought it was only fair that because <br />there was much time and effort put into this that it be included as an appendix. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Can we express concern about this? <br />
