56 <br /> mitigated. With all the different uses, a vision <br /> doesn't look apparent, but, it is understandable <br /> that the flexibility is needed to move with and <br /> access the market. He indicated he felt the <br /> Planning Board could not access the market that EDC <br /> can. He reiterated his suggestion to follow through <br /> on a vision and an active process with the <br /> landowners. Jobsis responded that she felt EDC is <br /> already working on this. Burklin noted that he felt <br /> this is not stated. <br /> Waddell asked that comments be addressed to the <br /> questions/considerations of Commissioner Willhoit as <br /> listed. He asked what was the general sense of the <br /> Board regarding the staff comment to the first <br /> consideration of removing permitted manufacturing <br /> uses. <br /> Jobsis stated that her feeling was the statements <br /> and comments indicated the Board agreed with the <br /> staff comment with the addition that EDC work toward <br /> some sense of design within the districts. Waddell <br /> responded that, if anything, the Planning Board <br /> might want to augment staff comment and recognize <br /> that the EDC is working towards developing a common <br /> focus for each of the areas. Jobsis noted that she <br /> had not heard comments that were against the staff <br /> position. <br /> With no opposition indicated, Waddell stated that <br /> the Planning Board supported the staff position. <br /> Waddell continued with the second consideration <br /> which was to consider adequacy of proposed ordinance <br /> modifications in addressing access/driveway cuts <br /> onto Old NC 86; i.e. , property fronting on Old NC <br /> 86. He stated that the language of unless justified <br /> and wherever possible speaks to the concern. <br /> Barrows noted that Dolly Hunter, at the <br /> Commissioners, meeting in Efland had suggested the <br /> idea of a parallel access road. She indicated she <br /> felt that idea may have some merit. Waddell <br /> responded that not knowing how the land was going to <br /> develop, it becomes problematic to know that there <br /> is to be an access road. <br /> Collins commented that language could be included <br /> which encouraged developers to install marginal <br /> access roads, particularly on a larger tract. <br /> With no opposition indicated, Waddell stated that <br /> the Planning Board supported the staff position. <br />
