41 <br /> 1 Thank you, <br /> 2 Eva Labro <br /> 3 225 Whirlaway Lane <br /> 4 Chapel Hill <br /> 5 <br /> 6 This is with regard to land use for construction and impervious allocation on private <br /> 7 property in Orange County. I am a resident at 101 Whirlaway lane, Chapel hill, NC which <br /> 8 is in the Triple Crown subdivision. We are currently highly restricted with regard to <br /> 9 impervious allocation (presently maxed) even though we have approx 3.5acres of land <br /> 10 on this property. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 1 am requesting that the board consider reassessment of the impervious land allocation <br /> 13 for properties like ours that sit on large acreage but get limited by what can be built, <br /> 14 especially since we need to have handicapped access built for our elderly parent who is <br /> 15 a resident of this property. <br /> 16 Thanks, <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Harendra Arora <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Chair McKee asked if the subdivisions use part of the impervious surface allotment for <br /> 21 the roads structure themselves. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Michael Harvey said yes. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Chair McKee said perhaps this is where the excess impervious surface allotment was <br /> 26 used up. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Michael Harvey agreed. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Rich for the <br /> 31 Board to refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be <br /> 32 returned to the BOCC in time for its June 16, 2015 regular meeting. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 35 <br /> 36 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Rich to adjourn <br /> 37 the public hearing until June 16, 2015 in order to receive and accept the Planning Board's <br /> 38 recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 41 <br /> 42 6. Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment -To review government- <br /> 43 initiated amendments to the text of the UDO to modify sign regulations within certain Activity <br /> 44 Nodes. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Chair McKee said he received word that Commissioner Jacobs has concerns about this <br /> 47 item. He said Commissioner Jacobs was unable to attend tonight and asked for the Board to <br /> 48 consider waiting until September to discuss this item, when Commissioner Jacobs can attend <br /> 49 the meeting. <br /> 50 <br />
