Stan Lewis said he has lived in this area since 1993, and he knew people that actually went to this school. He said he expressed a few concerns at a previous meeting. He said he does not want to hold this process up, and he is in favor of the landmark. However, he said Mr. Sunde needed water for his business, and so he (Stan Lewis) agreed to have a well installed for this purpose. He said there were some issues related to this that were supposed to be addressed by Mr. Sunde; however, it has been two years, and these issues have not been addressed. He said there is a lease agreement for this, and Mr. Sunde is two months behind on these payments. He said the well issues need to be addressed by the steward of the property. Commissioner Price asked for clarification on the well. Stan Lewis said the well that was built on his property is a separate line that services only the schoolhouse. He said this is on his property. He said the older well services all of the other units, including his house. Commissioner Price asked John Roberts if this has any bearing on the landmark designation. John Roberts said he does not know if it has any bearing on the actual designation of the landmark. He said this is just public comment for the Board to consider, and this will come back for further consideration. Chair Jacobs said he can personally testify to the rigorous review of properties by the Historic Preservation Commission. Discussion ensued between Commissioner Burroughs and Peter Sandbeck regarding the history of White Cross and Carrboro Schools. A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to: 1) open a joint public hearing with the Historic Preservation Commission to receive public comment on the draft designation ordinance for the White Cross School; 2) close the public hearing; and 3) refer the draft designation ordinance back to the Historic Preservation Commission for its final review and recommendation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendments for Aqricultural Support Enterprises Within the Rural Buffer Land Use Classification — Defer Public Hearinq Process to May 5, 2015 (No Additional Oral Comments Accepted) The Board considered deferring the public hearing process on the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) zoning text amendments pertaining to Agricultural Support Enterprises within the Rural Buffer land use classification to May 5, 2015 in order to allow time for the necessary Joint Planning Amendment (JPA) land use amendments to be further considered and adopted. Perdita Holtz said the JPAs are still in the review process. She said Carrboro has adopted a revised resolution without the sunset clause, and Chapel Hill is scheduled to address the JPA amendments next week. She said the JPA materials will need to come back to the Board of County Commissioners for re-adoption, and staff plans to bring this to the Board of County Commissioners on April 7th. She said the UDO amendments will be taken back to the County planning board on April 1 st. Commissioner Rich asked what will happen if there are two very different resolutions from Carrboro and Chapel Hill.
