55 <br /> to happen in that area. He felt what was happening <br /> on the east side of NC 86 was as good an argument as <br /> any to make the west side Secondary. <br /> Mr. Whitaker stated that he would prefer that the <br /> Primary areas be designated Secondary and reduce the <br /> buffer requirement. He felt that would give the <br /> properties more marketability. Collins responded <br /> that was certainly an option and that a zoning <br /> classification of Office and Institutional was <br /> another possibility. <br /> Howie asked what type of buffer is required for <br /> Office and Institutional.

He noted that it may be <br /> possible to work something out within the framework <br /> of the proposal that has already been to public <br /> hearing. It could then be considered by the <br /> Planning Board at its January 23 meeting. Waddell <br /> agreed, noting that he felt they were very close to <br /> an agreement. He felt there was an area of <br /> compromise, but he would prefer that the neighbors <br /> meet and determine that compromise. <br /> Vic Cunningham, Cornwallis Hills resident, asked the <br /> location of Cates Creek. Collins indicated the <br /> location on the map in relation to Mr. Cunningham's <br />
