9 <br />6. HILLSBOROUGH REQUEST - SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS <br />The Town of Hillsborough in a letter dated June 9, 1987 requested <br />that the County relinquish administration of the Subdivision Regulations <br />within the Town's planning and zoning jurisdiction upon adoption by the <br />Town of its own ordinance. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Chair Marshall <br />to agree to relinquish administration and enforcement of its Subdivision <br />Regulations within the Town limits and extraterritorial zoning <br />jurisdiction upon adoption of the Town's subdivision regulations under the <br />following conditions: <br />(1) The Town provides Orange County with the opportunity to review <br />and comment on the proposed regulations prior to adoption; and <br />(2) The Town adopts and incorporates into its zoning ordinance and <br />subdivision regulations design standards applicable within the <br />Major Transportation Corridors of I-85 and I -40 and which <br />meet, as a minimum, the Recommendations for Basic Design <br />Standards along Interstate 40 as prepared by the I -40 <br />Subcommittee of the TJCOG Regional Image Task Force. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br />7. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTIONS <br />Collins presented two situations in which two applicants requested <br />a variance to subdivide acreage into lots less than the two acre minimum. <br />The first applicant David Ripperton was granted a variance and the second <br />applicant Habitat for Humanity was not granted a variance. <br />After a lengthly discussion, the Board decided not to take any <br />action on this item. <br />8. CABLE T.V. ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS - SECOND READING <br />(A copy of the amended ordinance is in the official Ordinance Book <br />in the Clerk's office). <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner <br />Carey to approve the amendments to the Cable Television Ordinance as <br />presented and contained in the Ordinance. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br />.EA IING (A copy of the amendment is in the July 6 permanent agenda file.) <br />Commissioner Hartwell asked that the ordinance be specific in <br />three areas: (1) amount of main trunk cable to be constructed, (2) the <br />schedule for construction of this cable, and (3) its adequacy to serve the <br />unincorporated areas of the County. He suggested that Alert provide to <br />the County by December 31, 1987 a detailed map and schedule of the trunk <br />line they will construct and an engineering report demonstrating that this <br />trunk cable is constructed to meet the requirements of the Franchise and <br />that the construction schedule be apportioned in such a way that by <br />December 31, 1993 that it all be built. <br />Mr. Norman Vogl, Chair of the Cable T.V. Task Force stated that <br />what Commissioner Hartwell suggested is what was proposed when cable <br />service was first contemplated for Orange County. <br />Doug Keel of Alert Cable questioned the definition of overbuild <br />and the fact that there is no relief of an overbuild requirement which <br />means that anywhere Carolina has laid trunk cable, Alert is obligated to <br />build trunk over the top of that already there. He stated that a company <br />cannot make that kind of investment without some kind of potential return <br />on that investment. <br />Keel suggested that a requirement be included in the ordinance <br />whereby any cable operator would have to submit to the County Manager <br />
