Alice Ingram questioned if what the applicant proposes would meet Chapel Hill's standards? Is the applicant asking for a total waiver? Collins responded that the applicant has asked for a waiver of the 100' buffer in our jurisdiction , Chapel 30-50' buffer is adjacent to Sunrise and Weaver Dairy Roads and operates as well along the perimeter in the Town 's jurisdiction .
