Ni7# 7-ctadi ENO TOWNSHIP ADVISORY COMMITTEE Minutes - January 8, 1981 The Eno Township Advisory Committee met on January 8, 1981 at the Mount Hermo7 Baptist Church. The following members were present: Mr. Miller, Flowers , Reese, Simmons, Crabtree, Martin, Ray, and Crump; Mrs . Andrews and Mrs. Barbot Mr. Luce led the discussion and review of the Land Use Plan for Eno Township, pointing out the main areas (uses) planned for Eno Township. It was noted that these are generally the uses prevalent in the township today. Agricultut Residential, Rural Residential , Public Interest areas, and transition areas. It was noted that the population for Eno Township is projected for 8,000 in the next 20 years. Members of the committee expressed the feeling that these figures were too high and how was this projection arrrived at. It was felt that with the economic situation as it is , interest as high as it is, that not that much land has changed hands in the past and it was doubtful that that much would change in the future. It was noted that when farm land was changed to housing that a subdivision pl would be needed. Considerable discussio n ensued regarding the three activity nodes located in the township. How much land was included in those circles? It was felt also that these circles did not include all territory that it should. Planning department explained that activity nodes was a means of trying to prevent strip development along Hwy 70. Endorsement of this document is desired by Planning Department on the Land Use Plan. Committee had reservations about the Land Use Plan. There was a feeling that flexibility should be built into the document -that it should not be poured in cement. That the Land use plan should be used as a guide --that it must be reviewed periodically -- that land owners cannot be tied down completely. The need and desire for water and sewer lines was discussed at some length. Protection of private rights still a matter of concern. The following motion was made: Eno Township endorses the Land Use Plan concept as long as the map is used as a guide and is not absolutely rigid and as long as affected land owners are notified of changes before any changes are made. We recommend that the Red Hill Tract (Eno River State Park) Public Inrerest area be deleted from Land Use Plan as this particular tract is not now included in the most recent State Park Master Plan. It is further recomended that the transition area at Node #2 (70 and 85) be extended to SR 1712 (University Ste Rd.) The motion was seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned.
