6 <br /> IngraM inquired of Davis what %MA's policy was on extending <br /> services into jurisdictions that do not have representatives on OPENSA's Board <br /> such as Chatham eounty. <br /> Davis responded that to his knowledge there was no written policy <br /> but that services, would not be extended into Chatham County unless there was a <br /> request from local governing bodies to do so. At this time there have been no <br /> such requests and MASA does not have plans to extend service into Chatham <br /> County. <br /> Godschalk inquired of Collins and Weldon if, as professional <br /> planners, they felt that the higher density of the front (8) eight acres <br /> urbanized the 80 acres proposed for rezoning. Collins responded that the <br /> potential for urbanization was there, but not yet developed. Weldon responded <br /> no. <br /> Dick Havens, a real estate broker, representing the Partin's <br /> interest, expressed the concern that moderate housing development was not <br /> available for the public. He also noted that 14CDOT most often reacts after <br /> development rather than planning for development in improvement of roads. He <br /> expressed support for the rezoning request. He noted that growth could not be <br /> stopped but could be made more expensive. He continued that the timing <br /> allowed the developer flexibility to the market which dictates growth. <br /> Smith inquired what Havens considered moderately priced homes. <br /> Havens responded., on this property, to be $75.000 to $80,000. Smith responded <br /> that he felt this was a contradiction; that the market seemed not to be <br /> moderately priced hones. Havens noted that the longer the decision was <br /> delayed the more expensive development would be and this cost would be passed <br /> on to the consumer. <br /> By corisensus, the hearing was adjourned to the February 3, 1986 <br /> Board of Commissioners meeting for the recommendation of the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill and Orange County Planning Board. <br /> Don Willhoit, Chair <br /> Joanna Bradshaw, Admin.
