Willhoit asked that the County <br /> Manager work with the Town of Hillsborough to purchase <br /> this item. <br /> Marshall stated she felt serious consideration should be <br /> given to what and how the Board will move on Horace <br /> Johnson 's recommendations . She felt this was - the long <br /> range answer and in some ways the speed in which this is <br /> moved on might determine what is done as a short range <br /> answer. <br /> Wilihoit stated that a decision had not been made on <br /> Seven Mile Creek. Walker noted that fifteen years ago <br /> the County had begun purchasing land around Seven Mile <br /> Creek for a reservoir. Willhoit noted that the <br /> engineering study was done in 1981 , but the report had <br /> never been accepted nor a recommendation received from <br /> the Planning Board. Willhoit noted a recommendation was <br /> needed from the Planning Board on Seven Mile Creek and <br /> if this was the best solution, it should be included in <br /> the Land Use Plan. Willhoit asked Collins, Planning <br /> Director if Seven Mile Creek is in the Land Use Plan. <br /> Collins responded that, at the time the Boards were <br /> considering the zoning of Cheeks Township, the Planning <br /> Board considered a study done by John McAdams Company <br /> regarding reservoirs, The Planning Board supported Seven <br /> Mile Creek as fhe top priority reservoir and Seven Mile <br /> Creek was included in the Land Use Plan for Cheeks <br /> Township . Willhoit continued that a mechanism needed to <br /> be in place to acquire property as it becomes available <br /> and to flag development proposals for the reservoir <br /> site. Willhoit referred this to the Manager's Office <br /> for a proposal as how to proceed. <br /> Marshall asked that the minutes of this meeting be very <br /> detailed. <br /> MOTION: Willhoit moved to continue the Scatswood Planned <br /> Development public hearing to April 1 , 1986 in the <br /> Superior Courtroom.
