71 recommendation is an attempt to address the concerns and views of both sets of residents. If the Planning Board wants to make a different set of recommendations that is its prerogative. Waddell stated that the question is not whether to go primary or secondary, but, rather a compromise between the two. Katz asked the difference between profit and non- profit recreation and why n.on-profit was excluded from the list of permitted uses. Collins responded that non-profit recreation was on a list that was developed by the Old NC 86 residents and Ted Abernathy. When that list was reviewed, the non- profit was deleted. The only way that a for-profit recreational facility could. be approved would be a planned development approach which would require a public hearing before the Board of Commissioners. Collins noted that he did not know the rationale for removing non-profit recreation. Price expressed concern with the view from the road and possibly more strip development like that from I-85 to Hillsborough. Collins responded that the design manual addressed the issue of landscaping and the case study included in it may provide more insight. Jobsis noted that the whole idea behind EDD was to provide standards that would not allow for strip development but allow for beautiful development such as the lay of the land will allow. Waddell reminded members that the size and number of lots under discussion would not allow for extremely large development. He also noted. that the standards in the design manual address those concerns. It was the consensus of the Board to hear public comment. Waddell reminded those wishing to speak that public comment had already been heard and asked that the comments be limited to new information not that which had already been, heard except for emphasis or clarification. He asked that they focus on the proposed recommendation and how a compromise might be achieved. Mark Johnson, Cornwallis Hills resident, expressed concern with the risks involved with retail and the increased traffic. He noted the significant change was the deletion of manufacturing and hotel/motels. He expressed concern that even when businesses are closed that does not keep people from "hanging around" in parking lots and. perhaps causing trouble.
